And MLG national finals have a prize pool of 120k for SC2. On the other hand, this IGN event says 6 figures. That could be 100k on the dot and split over 3 games. Really not enough info to tell. But most likely it won't match the GSL ST or GSL open seasons. EDIT: GSL ST had a prize pool of ~190k. | ||

They probably saw that patriotic "No Koreans" policy is taking them nowhere, and almost every random event is taking over their tourneys in terms of interest. I personally could barely watch IPL until the end of the first season, and that was mostly because they had much better quality stream compared to NASL at the time. Since then, I only watched some time in the second season. After couple of hours, I closed the stream, and never bothered. It would be cool if these Non-Koreans were developing and improving with these competitions available, but they are not improving that much or that fast. So watching two non-Koreans is really difficult for me, unless it's the very top of the line like Huk or somebody. PS Just out of interest, right now it is Lalush-Axslav match finishing. The number of viewers is 4230  | ||

Season 1 had around 10k+ viewer, but season 2 only has around 7k the last few days even with he addition of EU players, so unless IGN inject some fresh air (Koreans), viewership will continue to fall.

Seriously TvT by non Koreans is just painful to wait for the result. PvZ is a whining party whether infestor OP or Deathballs OP. I feel like if we keep inviting Koreans to every stinking tournament it will negate player growth in the foreign scene. Why will players want to emerge only to see Koreans dominate EVERY SINGLE TOURNAMENT ACROSS THE ENTIRE GLOBE?!?!?!?!?!?!!? | ||
