How the hell do teams like TSL disband due to a lack of sponsors but NSH is going strong?!

Because NSH is not a team it is HoSeo Game Academy which is a part of Seoul HoSeo Technical College.

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

It's actually pretty high for what is essentially a showmatch series....

That's not a lot of money, even for a show match. Double or triple it, IMO.


but..but proleague did their pre match without prize money

I think it's a good thing.

Considering the teams with strong players won't want to dedicate them to HotS (Code A/S player), it would give teams with fewer Code A/S players an unfair advantage in terms of practicing, and it's also a beta, so there are lots of balance changes.

To put a lot of money on the line in a biased tournament with a lot of uncertainty and potential to be more "broken" than a not beta (although only marginally) seems silly.

MLG is doing it, and it's absurd. Making players who are playing in major WoL tournaments play random HotS matches against often people who are only playing HotS, with racial imbalances, resulting in a lot of players making it through who probably wouldn't have won if it wasn't for those factors.

A HotS beta team tournament isn't something which should have a lot of money on the line when major WoL tournaments are also happening.
HOLY CHECK!

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


Mackus made a mistake comparing event to proleague, but still low prize pool.

Go AxiomAcer, I guess it makes since that both Crank and Miya have been playing a ton of HoTS on their streams so they should be prepared.

Cool stuff! Looking forward to this pre-season and wonder if there will be any players that have been practicing HotS enough to provide some shock upsets?

Western mapmaking fighting! :D

In all seriousness though -- this is the direction these things need to be taking, and the transition from WoL to HotS will require some uncomfortableness for a lot of people ranging from organizers to players to mappers. It will be a joint effort to bring amazing games to eSports and I am excited for it.
