But now with the amount of tournaments going down with the prize pool staying about the same players income will drastically increase. Sponsors are really going to need to step up or many pretty good players will only make around 5kish a year. The top will still make money, but the middle of the pack will suffer. And with Brood War pro's coming in, 2012 will have many more potential players, with less prize pool. And that was still the same exact case in BW, and hell its the exact same case in the foreigner SC2 scene. Making a life out of tourney wins is unsustainable for everybody except the very top. What players want are good showings so that they can get sponsorships | ||

If the BW pros switch, it'll likely be because their competitions decided to include SC2 or switch to it (a full switch being unlikely). Which either means OGN and them partner up with GOM or GOM has a competitor and it needs to up its game. Either way BW pros switching will be good for SC2, especially SC2 in Korea. Anyways, I really like the longer format. It's going to be far more digestible especially to newer viewers, and we're going to see some epic storylines. And it more like the Broodwar tournaments now... just wish GSTL was more like proleague though. | ||

O.O MIND = BLOWN Mmm, if you scroll to the bottom of the Ticket Info page, you can see the full details, it explains what the extra features you're paying for. 5 Individual Light passes are $14.99 x 5 = $74.95 Meanwhile an annual Light pass is $69.99. | ||

Time = Money, twice the time & same money = less money overall in the game. but another way to look at is that the players have to play 1/2 less? But I can understand the frustration since GSL is the only tourney in Korea | ||
