I think we do under-appreciate sometimes quite how much the non-players bring to the scene though, for sure, especially the people behind the scenes that we don’t even see.
This tournament is about players though, so I did not consider that into voting. Though Boxer did have some sweet games back in the day, and I was almost as hyped as Moletrap to watch him play, so there's plenty of reason to vote for him even just for his contributions as a player.

Match 5 : Serral vs San
Just when I thought there couldn't be a matchup more onesided than Solar vs Myungsik...

To be fair, Polt won a Premier tournament for six consecutive years(2011-2016).

Fuck fairness, writing those are hard I'm not gonna bother with facts on top of it 
(Also I just realize I got confuse for INno by WESG 2018, he didn't actually won any premier in 2018, so just 4 years for him, but he did win HSC in 2018 who is randomly either major or premier)

Man, I actually liked Jjakji, hurts to see him have 0 votes  .

I liked him too, at least he's not on the level of Sniper or Seed, but I still think it's poetic justice giving Leenock this victory over him.

Lol. Jjakji vs Leenock. Fate has made it so!

If he hadn't fucked up in 2018 he would have had a premier tournament win in 7! consecutive years.

I mean, he won HSC, which, like previously mentioned, is randomly a premier or a major. But I don't think it ends up being not a premier based on quality of players, I think it's the prize pool that discounts it. The second HSC last year almost ended up being a premier but the prize pool got cut a little bit so.

There is also something about invite and Korean participation that block it for being a premier I think
Edit: And by that I mean, I think it would be a premier if it had WCS points on it (even if it's just money getting into thr WCS system mean having some Blizz money)
Cause back in the day there was plenty of premier with less money than HSC

Prize pool is the only notable difference(10k instead of 8k for the first place).

Isn’t the Super Tournament around that in prize pool?
I mean Korean tournaments in general have too low anorise pool for their quality
