Very encouraging to see TPW/DF maps being used by tournaments. Competition is the best way of improving maps for top level play.

No ticket? What about for VODs? Are Wolfdor casting all of GSTL including this again, because it'd be nice to here Artosis's reaction to the first HOTS games.

Holy shit that is huge! Thanks GOM, you rock!

It's fine, the amount of prize money shouldn't even matter to the fans. It's a pre-season showmatch and I'm sure there are a ton of people that will be thrilled with the content.

Just blow proleagues prize pool out of the water for GSTL and everyone will be happy ^_^

Azubu could prove to be a tough opponent for StarTale, but with Life/Curious/Bomber they should be all right.

Good move by Gom - will be really cool to see some of the foreign maps, and the players getting some HoTS experience will be really valuable.

Amazingly low prize pool, it shows how far behind GSTL is to Proleague

It's a pre-season showmatch type thing, not the actual season... Read before you type.


No one cares what type of tournament it is, in the end a low prize pool whether it be a "showmatch" or a deathmatch will bring less preperation and overall a more poorer spectacle


Yeah you're right.

Those ZOTAC cups are a joke and should be stopped, they're not helping the gamers enough.

Dont get me started on Go4SC2.

Low prize more poorer!

+ Show Spoiler +
You're an idiot. It's a pre-season tournament for fun and warming up. As in, the actual GSTL is going to be bigger. As in, as John pointed out, ProLeague did it and you probably ate that shit up because it was KESPA, regardless of the fact they gave out NO prize pool.

Learn to read. Learn to comprehend. Learn to type.

Well I can't complain too much because it's free... though I think it's rather unnecessary and time away from the remaining days of WoL. There's still a major WoL tournament left in the year.
Someone call down the Thunder?

Yeah, it's a bit awkward that while some tournaments have already begun preparations for HoTS with pre-seasons and showmatches and whatnot, IPL still has a WoL tournament left. What's even more awkward, at least to me, with IPL6 is that there is a HoTS mini-tournament there as well.
Either way, I think this is pretty cool, and at least a few of the players that won't play at IPL6 can get started on HoTS to help their team out.

Why the hell do people care so much about prize money? just enjoy the games and show some love to GOM for doing this.
BTW with a format like this which is so crazy and aimed just give a good show a high prize pool is pointless IMO.
excellent!
