Keep in mind this qualifier only had 28 people. Should IEM come to the United States our qualifiers will be much bigger. Every player who qualifies (and attends obviously) gets a guaranteed prize money of 600$. I read in Carmac's blog, that they increased the guaranteed money for ppl who have to travel from another continent. So I it should be about 900$ for NA and Asian players. So the flights should not be that much of a problem. And I think the region in which the event takes place gets more spots at the final event, so at IEM New York, you will have more slots for NA players. Not so sure about how that is changing the qualification process. Source: Carmac's blog . | ||

The players receive that money about six months to a year after they've actually paid for the flights and played in the event (and of course emailed Carmac 10-20 times and perhaps made a Reddit thread). They aren't just turning up, playing, getting the money and their team/player is immediately in profit again. | ||

It is that much of a problem still because you are forgetting, players have to come up with all the travel money FIRST. We do not give them the $900 before going to the event. They get it after attending the event. Not many players have over $1000 laying around that they can spend to go to Germany. Other teams may not find it worth it either as the $900 given is actual prize money instead of travel. So what we are left with is only players trying to qualify that are on pretty high profitable/stable teams which in all actuality is not that many. That is ultimately why qualifiers do not need to be bigger for IEM events that are NOT in America. Regardless, the money increased to $900 is a nice help to everyone who can attend. So I'm definitely happy about that. | ||
