The "paying more" was meant to be per season, and not per game. okay, let me put it that way: I get to see more games per season, so I pay more per season. Fine. The players play more games per season, so why don't they get more prize money per season? | ||

Since when did it become GOM's obligation to ensure that players are adequately compensated? Did I miss something? | ||

Fine. The players play more games per season, so why don't they get more prize money per season? gom ran out of funds? didn't feel it was necessary to be the sole supporter for pro players? wants to be greedy? who knows. The prizepool is still drastically more than other tournaments out there, and I see no reason why GSL have to pay so much better than other tourney organizers. what should matter to us is the quality of the game and service we paid for | ||

Didn't the prize pool improve for code a this season? Also gsl prize money is still higher than almost every foreign competition. First place in OSL one and a half years after it started was a lot lower than what gsl is atm. Maybe sc2 in korea is starting to be big enough that pro players don't have to rely on gsl prize money anymore. Really looking forward to gstl, and the thought of another WC gives me nerdchills already. Im pretty sure that the biggest souce of income for GSL is foreign subscriptions and sponsors. I think sc2 fanbase is growing faster outside of korea than inside, but i could be wrong and I dont have any stats to back that up  But it be very interesting to see exactly how many subscribers GSL has now. Havent found any info or numbers, have anyone else? | ||

And I agree, GSL is still worth every penny. However, GSL is clearly being a bit greedy here and sometimes you just got to call a spade a spade. | ||

Hope they find room for the World Championships, if only for Team Korea vs. the World again. Hands down my favorite event of SC2 so far, though being at Blizzcon for GSL October finals was pretty sweet, too | ||

If yes, was the subject broached with Mr Chae or his minders prior to the interview? If so, was it put in the 'don't ask' basket? | ||
