They only have to deal with the lag and the time zone difference but they can still do it Yes, but IEM only pays for airfare from the region which the qualifer is won. IE NA/SA to Katowice and EU to Katowice. So players/teams would have to pony up the extra cost. And since the payout is winner takes all, it is a pretty big risk. I guess some of the richer players/teams can do it but definitely not a lot of the koreans will try. | ||

All its saying is "Hotel and flight costs are paid for in full by ESL" | ||

On the official page it says that winners' recieve a full expenses paid trip source: http://en.intelextrememasters.com/news/iem-world-championship-in-katowice-starcraft-ii-open-qualifiers/ They would/should have definitely said it in this announcement if it was not full expenses paid. But they didn't so I guess it is all expenses paid no matter where the players come from | ||

But they didn't so I guess it is all expenses paid no matter where the players come from The six remaining places will be decided through a series of invites and open qualifiers with more information on the specifics coming in near future. All qualified players will have their flights and hotel paid for. http://en.intelextrememasters.com/news/starcraft-ii-world-championship-to-be-us-100000-winner-takes-all-tournament/ Found an actual quote. | ||

I think his games are generally pretty good. I mostly cheer for him because everyone else seems to hate him for some reason. | ||

It makes no sense either, I mean most people here nowadays are probably too new to know what Bisu losing to him meant and harbor that grudge. :s RorO's good agreed, I wish he were a bit more consistent with his results though. | ||
