This tournament is sick... You have the largest price pool in SC2 history, and I hope you will also have the highest number of participants. Will you publish that number when all sign-ups are finished?

Yeah we'll most probably have some sort of press-release telling those numbers in all four titles.

What do they gain by putting so much money into SC2? :o

Stephano dude, they got Stephano. Worth it.

Do we know when the main event takes place exactly?
|
Looks like the dates have been updated on the liquipedia page for the start dates. Jan12-15 for when the tournament is taking place. I hope there is more coverage for this then there has been. The SC2 scene could really benefit from a major tournament like this, but I'm afraid that its going to be a flop in terms of viewership outside of China.

It should pull the same kinda numbers as the other big SC2 cups on twitch. But it doesn't help only a handful of popular players are in it

As this is getting closer, has there been any more announcements on this?

One thing I noticed is that the date for the main event used to be a vague December 2016 but it seems it's been pushed back to Jan 12th-15th 2017. (source: Liquipedia)
Wonder why that is...

Yeah, one would think a tournament with such a prize pool would be a little better organized...
How come there was no official announcement?

The source for the date is a post by Scarlett on reddit by the way. I assume they pushed from December to January because they couldn't find a time slot they liked with WCA, IEM and Christmas/New Year all coming up.

I would assume they had no idea how qualifiers would play out so December was tentative and they now have an exact date.

That's a hell of a stadium!
It should be a great event, I hope the production quality is going to be on part with their ambition.
