From this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=406770 Are the prize pools the same between the leagues? Yes. All of the regional leagues will have identical prize pools and point distribution. The prize pool breakdown for the remaining part of 2013 is as follows: Each Regional WCS League - $100,000 Each Global Season Finals - $150,000 WCS Global Finals at BlizzCon - $250,000 | ||

Players must notify MLG their intent to participate in the America region by end of day on April 8th. Anyone know how to notify MLG? | ||

The top player might earn more from the further stages but the CodeA guys won't :/ | ||

The prize purse breakdown WCS Europe is proposing to players can be seen below, although it was noted that it is not final yet. 1st place: $35,000 2nd place. $15,000 3rd/4th place: $8,000 5th place: $4,000 6th place: $3,500 7th place: $3,000 8th place: $2,500 9th-12th place: $1,450 13th-16th place: $1,000 17th-24th place: $500 25th-32nd place: $300 This better be not GSL distribution. Players from Code A up to Ro16 players are short 75657$ of prize money. ( And those none of those players are eligible for the global season finals either ). That kind of distribution would be basically saying .. "time to buy yourself US tickets" to any ESF team that doesnt have multiple CodeS ro4 candidates. | ||

No idea I hope they let us know soon. I mean it does sound like the first stage (at least for NA) is going to be pure invitational like every other tournament, but I could (hopefully) am wrong about this. | ||

Not sure what tournaments you are talking about, but last year there were a lot of open bracket qualifiers. Which is why i hate this so much. It seems like it is pure invites and no open qualification at all. | ||

I feel for the Code S Koreans then =\ | ||

Also added risk comes from them having to pay their own travel expenses. I always thought that code A ESF players might make the jump, but not Kespa. | ||

And are the other korean players from WW coming with him ? I'm ok with 4 koreans amongst 32 players, not so much but a good additional value for the competition. Still I really want they increase the korean prize pool and/or the slot distribution for the global finals. | ||

And, I heard people like Artosis saying that teams with Korean sponsors had laws against players playing outside of Korea, and that hell would freeze over before such a thing happened. I hope they do, though, because, then, Morhaime's "plan" to encourage lazy non Koreans with jobs and/or school to take the game more seriously will come to fruition. | ||
