The famous 1,000,000 dollar DOTA2 tournament worked out to 200,000 per player which is still a lot, but that's not that much more than what some of the higher end SC2 tournaments go for. isnt 200,000 more than the GSL and OSL prizepools? only MVP and MC have more than 300,000 each combined from all the tournaments | ||

I think the WCS prize pool will be solid, I do not for a second think it will be the same as The International or whatever will be Riot's equivalent. And to be honest, I have no problems whatsoever with that. In fact, I think that for StarCraft, I am a lot happier with the investment in national tournaments with all expenses paid and building up local infrastructure rather than having all online stuff leading up to a global event with a huge prize pool. | ||

Both players go for Stargate on similar timings! Mirror builds so far, both players with the same unit count as well. | ||

Valve funded that prize pool hoping the enormous amount of money being offered would give them the publicity they needed to start competing with League of Legends. That's a very different concept from the SC2 tournaments that are self-sufficient being paid for by third party sponsors as well as the fanbase. One model has long term viability, the other does not. | ||
