I like their choice, rather go try to dominate a foreign tournament and get free money that this slow and tiring thing.
SOOOOOOO MANY BANELINGS!

WCS would be a more prestigious tournament I think, but IEM probably has more money.

I wonder if they'll regret it should WCS turn out to be really prestigious.

well, they are really highly favored to be top 3 at IEM, which means thousands of dollars in the pocket, in a way shorter period of time.
+ they are in a foreign event which might look more appealling to them compared to WCS ( they are kind of used to GOM studio :o ) and it gives them (and their sponsors) more exposure

WCS has more money. But it was already stated many times that for MVP didn't go for the tournament. LG was running a promotional events at Gamescom and MVP had committed to that long before the schedule for WCS was out. As for MC, SK is a foreign team so they probably wanted exposure in foreign events as well. Plus MC did take the IEM World Championship last year for 35K.

Yeah the problem is that IEM was long planned, and then WCS suddenly is scheduled for the same days, i hope blizzard learned from this.

well, that blows... sort of takes the wind out of having WCS as true World Cup of SC2 if two of the biggest Koreans stars aren't going to be there.


Totally agree on this. A final without mvp and mc is just not a real final... Sure if they failed to qualify but the choose to forfeit their spots

Meaning the tournament failed since something else was more important. Thus its no real world cup.

*PARODY*

To: MVP, MC
From: Blizzard Entertainment
RE: Dropping out of Korea WCS

Dearest MVP and MC,

We're so sorry to hear that you decided not to attend the WCS Korea which of course is sponsored by Blizzard. You know, the company that makes SC2. We're additionally sorry to hear you've chosen to attend Gamescon in Germany instead.

We hold no ill will against you for this decision. The fact that all your accounts on Battle.net have been summarily cancelled was an unrelated event. Additionally, you may wish to ask Gamescon for a Heart of the Swarm beta invite since apparently you think their newb tournament is more important then ours.

Best of luck,

Blizzard Entertainment

doesn't WCS have 6 seeds, 1 from each country?

mvp would just be seeded directly to the championship no?
