No worries, this IEM provides prize money to top 24, with the minimum being $600. Not every tournament is DreamHack, which only gives to top 4. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IEM_Season_VII_-_Global_Challenge_Cologne | ||

 Is not that i don't like the guy or think he "makes to much money and will be the Fatality of starcraft" but i really, really hate how he tries to do in depth analysis of something by framing it into a generic template and not actually analyzing the strategy and strategic choices based on current meta game. I fell like instead of hiring him they could have gone for about 2 "unknown" European casters and maybe it would have cost a little bit less, the final 8 will likely best 80% Tastosis anyway so if you need some more casters for the open bracket/less important matches ... etc why not pick the up and coming guys, they need to find a new biterdam tbh and its not like they afford hiring one of the "big casting duos" atm. Meh... I'm hating too much today. At least the lineup is insane, not all the Europeans i would like to see tho and that kinda of makes me sad panda, but still. | ||

I feel spoiled. So many good tournaments around these days, with stacked lineups and great casting and everything. | ||
