Was this really a major tournament? Yes, the line-up was really good and all, but in my opinion the fans and the hype surrounding an event are also a big part of what turns a normal tournamet into a major event. The LR-Thread of the final day doesn't even have 100 pages and I think I'm not the only one that couldn't care less for a PPV event like this one. Gratz to Violet though. | ||

I don't see how we can't call it a major tournament | ||

Congratulations to him, now with an IEM and MLG win this year, impressive. | ||

In addition, there was still A LOT of sick players here too. | ||

Congratulations to him, now with an IEM and MLG win this year, impressive. That's because Liquipedia has this as a Premier Tournament instead of a "major tournament". | ||

If a MLG win doesn't qualify as a major win then what does? | ||
