I think with the abundance of tournaments in sc2 it becomes harder to say what should count as breaking the king curse. Like imo winning a kr premier title that was just as stacked basically as a SL gives him the right to not be a kong. But if we say he needs to win a SL to no longer be a kong does thant mean Dark isn't a kong due to not getting 2nd olaces in a starleague To me those are special tourneys, kind of like how yellow wont special cups but not regular leagues and he is the King of Kongs. | ||

It is a normal Tier 2 tournament Invit based on top finishing players in the starleagues and proleague, with only a handful of qualifiers, is pretty much the definition of a special, certainly in terms of the kong legacy. | ||

Simply from a quality of players standpoint it's probably harder than the recent gsl. The invited players are typically stronger and going through the qualifiers is harder. soO even had to go through zest. Only way it is "easier" is less preparation time. | ||

I think that it can still be classified as a "special event" regardless on the skill of the players. Most would probably agree that HSC can be a "special event" yet it was arguably equivalent to the latest WCS season. | ||

Most would probably agree that HSC can be a "special event" yet it was arguably equivalent to the latest WCS season. To me, a main criteria of a Starleague is its long-drawn out preparation format with group and knockout rounds (aside from being stacked with top players from the start). Which is why arguably MLG, HSC, WCG and yes, KeSPA Cup are all special tournaments. The only close exception to the rule is the Super Tournament and Blizzcon. (The Kong curse is strictly a Starleague thing. That's not to say that all the special tournaments can't be as high level as Starleague.) | ||
