 And players that are shying away from a tournament because it is so competitive are players that I don't miss in it. Go Jinro! | ||

Winning 1 series in the super tournament gives you $930 which is ~equal to 5th place columbus ($1000). Winning 3 series gives you $4650 which is nearly the same as first place MLG. This is assuming they could live in the GOM house for free of course. They also have to spend a month in Korea. Which means they can't participate in any of the million online cups and they will be negatively impacted in NASL, IPL2 and whatever other tournaments are around. | ||

Some might make it to ro32 but thats a pittance compared to potential money they can make in NA and EU. I just wish people would stop asking why foreigners wont participate in GSL ffs, the answer is clear as day. Are u saying that Dimaga who actually knocked the sitting GSL champ in GSL WC and he performed like a champ in the World vs korea match dont have a good shot at taking this tour down? I do have to agree that it might not be worth it for most of the players but Dimaga would have a clear shot if he tried, I have no doubts about it. | ||

I'm assuming they would only need to stay around if they made it deeper into the tournament, so it will not be 1 month unless they win the whole thing. | ||

The bigger reason is gom shuts them down for anything else for a month to compete. | ||

Go Jinro! They're most likely just staying away because it doesn't make any financial sense. | ||
