Global qualifiers are only relevant for Koreans honestly, so should cater to Koreans.

that would be soooo much better than the actual tournament :D

Surely they're hosting it now because the studio etc is all NA based so it has to be at a good time for them?

If they go for a different time, and have less viewers because of it, the average prize pools will fall. Because less money = less money... Because math.

We were able to host a tournament at a good time for Korea from America. Not sure of Redbulls logistics of course.
But everything should cater to the koreans, nobody else matters.
Since Europeans have an entire continent that caters to them with regionlocked events, I think they'll be just fine.

Yeah I guess it's just impossible to please everyone, there were loads of NA and EU signups so someone has to make a sacrifice I guess :/

As far as I can tell from twitch rates, the prize pool would go down by a buck? maybe 2? Who has solid numbers on that?

Well yes, since there is too much talent in Korea it's important that the wealth is fairly redistributed to those who deserve it
