Just my 2c, still a very interesting read!
Where the hell are the SEA tournaments! >:
Yeah, I'm looking forward to Australia & China developing high level scenes. Perhaps, in a few years, we'll have "grand slam" champions for players who win in all 4 regions.

tbh Dreamhack valencia's prize pool was nearly 3 times that of IEM cologne and kiev and the player pool wasnt that much easier but I dont know what makes a premier tournament

pretty much this, an invitational event with 8 players is "not enough" to be on that list
he actually won his first title in North America. MLG Anaheim (2011) was the first offline event in North America to allow Koreans to attend, thus beginning the tradition of Korean progamers coming to America to show off their talents and take all the prize money.
Umm.. Did you mean Columbus? I wouldn't have cared normally but i'm from Ohio, and MMA winning MLG columbus is one of my top memorable moments in esports (it's really the first thing that got me to be really really into esports)
Other than that, great thread! Life only taking 98 days to win all 3, i doubt that's ever gonna be beaten.

It wasn't defined as a Premier tournament though so he doesn't qualify. Same reason DRG shouldn't be on that list.

It probably should have been a premier tournament, the reason it was not counted was because it was 100% invites.
