This one has an excellent prizepool and is also pretty well known for me because it was already happening back in WC3.
With MMA, Mvp and MKP all here, there will be a lot of exciting games. Too bad though, that they didn't invite one newcomer such as Taeja, Life or Sun.
wow, crazy prizepool for a fairly meh lineup........sase, mma and especially nestea doesnt belong in a tourny with this prizepool, hope they surprise some
There will be a press conference, bracket picking ceremony, and a welcome dinner on the first day 24 October from 1700 - 2100.
From 25 October to 28 October, the schedule is as follow.

Streaming information
If you go to this link ( http://s.163.com/12/1022/11/8EDSTVL900314D0E_2.html ), you'll see a Chinese website. The stream is the thing below the WEM banner and above the schedule. The link you see below the stream is the back up stream. Think it's a Chinese stream.
Also, the reason there are no Chinese players is because WEM 2012 clashes with the finals of WCG China 2012.

Because not EVERY tournament is about bringing the absolutely tip top players in the world. If this was the case, we would just have Code S players plus a couple EU players being invited to every tournament.
Also, Sase is a draw in China due to his WCS background. Not sure about JYP.
