Wow sounds nice! Will definitely watch it!
But... $60 only to watch starcraft? Are there some goodies included or is it just the venue admission? Sounds pretty high, more than I normally spend on concerts..

So im guessing itll be 4 matches on the first day and then the semis, third place match, grand final the next day. Should be pretty cool hope everyone has fun who ends up going. 60 dollars tho is sort of pricy for a two-day event but I guess we'll see how it turns out

What other events are going on at the same time? It seems strange to have only top 8 again.

It's not. MMA took the walkover.

What's the source on this? I know TLPD said that, but it has been reverted to 0-0 in both the division standings and the week by week.

MMA got the walkover over Stephano. Stephano couldn't make his match time and MMA elected to take the forfeit win.

So soon after an already stacked November? I also figured there would be more hype. Previous seasons got incredible amounts of hype, this one, not so much.

60 bucks is a lot... considering ipl5 is 30 for a 3 day wknd and mlg championships are usually 30-40 bucks for a 3 day wknd as well. I will wait and see if they reduce prices or offer other things to make the drive worth it

Feels really suspicious for a tournament to not have a prize pool announced at the beginning of one, considering they have had one set each before.

I am expecting a massive disappointment in prize money when the finals actually starts. Something that will make some of the players regret playing throughout this whole tournament.

they didn't announce it last season either, and that ended up being 100k as well iirc. no reason to believe this one will be anything otherwise

Pretty sure it's the same $100,000 prize pool as Season 3.

Something tells me TSL's best Terran and best Zerg* won't be able to attend the playoffs if TSL wins their GSTL match on Friday...

(I say HyuN is the best Zerg because Symbol has said it in a lot of his interviews...)

GOM would probably push it back/forward. December is a pretty open month besides maybe Blizzard Cup, so I wouldn't be surprised if TSL makes it that that they push the finals back a week.
