GOM is still way more professional than any foreign tournament.

It doesn't cost 1000 Euros to travel from Ireland to sweden, rather 50-60 euros (excl. accommodation)

LOL!, with age come experience, Kespa may be better in the sack

Fun for those who watch MLG and like to see broodwar players in MLG. Altough it feels like MLG is trying to get a monopoly on the pro scene, and the Dreamhack "friends" thing is just there because they know that dreamhack will happen anyway, with our without sc2.

There will be a MLG/KesPA vs IPL/GSL clash which will kill esports

What? Why would you exclude accomodation. There's no way you're going to get from Ireland to Sweden and back (including taxi/train to the airport in Ireland/Stockholm) pay for three day's accomodation, plus a pass for Dreamhack and food while you are there for less than 600 euros, and that's if you stay somewhere really shitty and eat crappy food and don't see any of Stockholm while you're there.
The Plane tickets also cost way, way more than you said.

For example are charging 241 euros for a return trip from Dublin to Stockholm.

I would not call KeSPA more professional than GOM. ._.
They've both made some pretty boneheaded moves in the past.

First of all, traveling in Europe rarely costs 1000 euros. I can get a flight ticket to Stockolm for about 400 euros, add hotel etc still not even close to 1000 euros.
Then, I never really was an MC fan so I didn't go see him at IEM or Dreamhack. However I'm a very big fan of some Kespa players and if some of them could participate at IEM/Dreamhack, I would most certainly go in order to meet them.
About the US being a much better place to visit, well that's a retarded thing to say. You know different people like different things/places! (crazy I know)

Yup, but WCG was the first International tournament that KeSPA players competed in. Makes perfect sense considering Samsung is the major sponsor.

You sir are a master at finding overpriced air tickets.

If this means that GSL players can't compete at MLG then that's horrible but we should all wait for more details before speculating the worst case scenario.

You find me a decent place to stay in Stockholm for four nights (you need to arrive a day early obviously or you miss the first day), a flight there and back for less than 700/800 euros total. Plus you then need a Dreamhack pass and money for airport travel or parking and money for food and travel while you're there. Plus some Dreamhack's aren't even in Stockholm they're in another part of Sweden meaning you need to either rent a car or get a train to whereever the actual event is. There's no way you can do all that cheaply. Believe me I considered it from the UK many times but in the end it adds up to as much if not more than a normal holiday.

Kespa players are there outside of MLG main event. But when they will finally be able to compete in it then it will be a time when NA players will be drooping after first round.
