MLG have absolutely no obligation, moral or otherwise, to compensate Naniwa for his lost Code S spot. Saying they have is absolute nonsense.

All expenses paid, that's huge.

However, curious about the NYC event... it doesn't specify that it will be open to spectators, not does it specify that it is streaming-only. Interesting...

Avilo -- your information is incorrect.

The invites for the qualifiers is only to determine the pool play. The MLG Winter Championship will be like any other MLG... there wil be 16 people in pool play, and an Open Bracket... so effectively it doesn't change anything. All that it does is gives like FIVE tournaments per season, rather than 5 tournaments per year,.

It's awesome oo! I love the format.


yea but still no rather unknown player outside of the 139 invitees can try to win a pool spot if they didnt have money to travel or something like that last year. So before at least anyone from the beginning of the year had a shot at pool play to accumulate points. Now if you aren't in the 139 now you don't have even a shimmer of hope of making pool play


139 is not a small number. Unless they royally fuck up the selection of the 139 players there no way any of those left will be in a position to actually qualify in a top 8 spot.

I'm a bit confused about the process, I'm not invited and I really think that after going to 4 MLGs last year, finishing top 100 in pts (obviously not much but still something), qualifying for IEM NY, winning a $1000 LAN, I'm one of the top 139 players (after hearing about other players that got invited).

Wondering if MLG could explain a bit more what they took into account. Not trying to be too butthurt but MLG has screwed me over quite a few times now..

Wholeheartedly agree,
I support Pokebunny's right to pwn noobs!
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Thats the reason why i wont watch this tournament.
Every tournament organizer always says that theres a chance for "cinderella stories", like when NaNi won MLG etc. But NaNi WAS already in a big team, who could afford to send him over to the US.
Now they are PAYING 32 trips to the US, but ONLY for top tier players, who are already in good teams who could afford anyways to send them over. All those unknown players, who also train their ass off, but had not yet the chance to show some results, dont even get considered. Thats just the most crappy idea of 2012 (imho).

It was so nice to see Feast perform in IEM, Trimaster winning vs Idra, ... those players ARE actually there, they just need some chances. I havent seen the list of the players but i can just say blindly that 70% of those "invited" players just had the luck to be in a well known team since the start of Sc2.

Sorry this is not the way to bring on eSports. Completly ignoring new talents.

"But hey, when they're so good, they can rob a bank an pay for the trip themselfes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
MLG is getting more and more dislikable to me.
life is like fighting a dinosaur.. it's pretty hard.

http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/2012-pro-circuit-dates-and-starcraft-2-winter-championship-prize-money/


Greetings, everyone! We hope you’re ready for 2012 to begin in earnest, because it’s time to play.

Last week, we announced the first details of our new structure for StarCraft 2: four Seasons, with the Winter Season comprised of Invitation-Only Online Qualifiers, leading to a live Arena, with everything culminating in a live Championship in Columbus, OH. The Online Qualifiers directly impact Arena participation and Championship seeding. The Arena adds another level of live competition and strengthens Championship Pool Play. The Championships are still the insane test of skill you’ve come to know and love, and now there's even more on the line.

Before we get to the fun stuff (meaning the prize money), there’s an important bit of information we’d like to get out to everyone. While we can’t yet announce the cities in which the Spring, Summer and Fall Championships will take place, we can tell you the dates. We know you need to start making plans, and we want to give you the info you need to do so. Dates for the Online Qualifiers, Arenas, and all other segments leading up to each Season’s Championship, will be announced later. We'll also be bringing you info on additional Pro Circuit games and prizing for future Championship events. For now, here are the dates of all the Championships themselves.


2012 Season Championship Dates


Winter Championship: March 23-25
Spring Championship: June 8-10
Summer Championship: August 24-26
Fall Championship: November 2-4

Got your calendars marked? Excellent. Now, on to details about the Winter StarCraft 2 Season. We have invited 139 of the world’s best players to compete in the Regional Online Qualifiers (Confirmed Player List coming soon), and the Top 8 from each Region (NA/EU/KR) will be flown, all expenses paid, to NYC to compete live in the Winter Arena, alongside the Top 8 finishers from MLG Providence ’11. The Top 16 from this Arena will be flown, all expenses paid, to the Winter Championship, where they will go straight into Pool Play. The bottom 16 will go into Open Winners Round 5, where it’s just a quick two-win hop into the Championship Bracket. But what’s at stake?


StarCraft 2 Winter Championship Prize Money


$76,000 in total

1st Place: $25,000
2nd Place: $15,000
3rd Place: $9,000
4th Place: $5,500
5th/6th Place: $3,500 each
7th/8th Place: $2,250 each
9th- 12th Place: $1,500 each
13th-16th Place: $1,000 each

You did indeed read that right. It's no longer the Top 8 that will win prize money at the Championship: it's the Top 16. And Consolation matches are now gone. 256 Players will compete for $76k, split among 16 players, with $25k for 1st alone; that’s five times what it was for 1st Place at a Pro Circuit event last year. All competitors should know that acing the Online Qualifiers and then the Arena will give you an incredibly significant advantage in the Championship, where a ton of money is up for grabs.


Full StarCraft 2 Winter Season Schedule


Regional Online Qualfiers: First two weeks of February
Winter Arena: Feb 24-26, New York, NY
Winter Championship: March 23-25, Columbus, OH

We will have even more information for you soon, including the rules, format and Map Pool for the Online Qualifiers and Arena. We'll also be providing full information about all the other games that will be on the Pro Circuit. For now, if you're a StarCraft 2 player, we hope you're ready. There's a lot more at stake now. And keep in mind, this is just Winter. Who knows what glory Spring will bring? Welcome to the MLG 2012 Pro Circuit.

Nice to see MLG have a payout for more players and a nice prize pool that is not too top heavy! Cannot wait for this MLG season to unfold.

God... I can't believe "extended series" is still there.... Maybe instead of a 2-0 lead, they get map pick for every match? That sounds way better then starting 0-2 in a bo5, which is almost impossible (unless drg) to come back from.
FoTG fighting!
