Those are offline individual leagues and they gave seeds to a bigger event.

Just see how hesitant the teams were to play their aces even in IPTL which was by far the biggest team league aside from the 2 above.
Well, now we have a bigger league than IPTL with more money given out. Offline finals are a big draw.

It's $2k less than IPTL and the prize pool wasn't what made it the biggest team league outside of GSTL and Proleague. It was the fact that the winning team got to send 6 of their players on paid trips to the next IPL.

Major under your definition, despite most people disagreeing with you?

I doubt most people disagree with me. Most StarCraft fans probably haven't even heard of ATC. The only online event that has been considered major by the overall community is TSL.

I like how aligulac changes the winner after every map XD
Right now Bunny is top for wining the tournament after his mapwin.

I agree with you that ATC isn't a major event but it isn't a minor event either, it's a medium event.

Your original point was that you doubted Mana due to his results mainly being "minor" team leagues. This I really don't think people agree with regardless what you call the tournaments.
