I think he means that their wasn't that much (if any) exposure for foreigners to get aware of the event, and that's a shame caus the line-up was pretty badass. But if this was a succes (hope it was!) then hopefully next time more people will be aware of it. The invites and prizepool could stay the same (in terms of quality) and it would still be a pretty bad as event. Alas enough blabbering, gratz to Leenock, i look forward to (hopefully) more events. Makes me really happy to see big Chinese events like this ^__^ | ||

You have to get into Code A through prelims which is tough, then you either have to win Code A Ro24 or win in the up/downs, which is tougher. The exception being the occasional international seeds they give out, that is truly free money for losing (lookin at you Idra/Sen/Thorzain). But back to this tournament, Leenock wins $12k for winning 3 bo3s and 1 bo5! That's more money than 1st place at the smaller IEMs, Dreamhacks, and MLGs, so called premier tournaments. and LOL at his new pic on liquipedia: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Leenock The liquipedia pic is actually from an MLG, it's not that new. Anyway, the prizepool of this tournament is comparable to the Dreamhack 8-player invitationals (although those were $15k winner takes all) Also the player pool is pretty talented, at an MLG you will get a lot more matches, true, but many will be easy wins for the ultimate victor. | ||
