Liquipedia tells me it is in Kunshan, China.

It would be a waste of their efforts. Prize pool for WCG is 25k, 10k, 5k. The player pool is extremely extremely weak. Would be very surprising if the 3 KR players don't take top 3. At the end of the day, these guys want to earn a living. GSL is their super important tournament, not IPL. IPL is super stacked with or without them, anyway. | ||

Also, I think Koreans take WCG more seriously then most (especially SC/SC2). | ||

I think when they did the qualifying, their criteria for 'amateur' was anyone that has earn less then $1000 total from tournaments so Crank was able to get in. | ||

WCG has a lot more history in Korea, and plenty of big names in BW (e.g BoxeR) won WCG, so it is more of a legacy thing. Plus I think MKP's dream was to win WCG, and this is definitely his best opportunity with no Mvp, and basically only YongHwa and PartinG to oppose him. | ||

But I hope I'm proven wrong, I want to see a foreigner in the IPL final so badly. Don't care who it is. | ||
