I am kind of glad that some Koreans are coming over to NA otherwise polt would just crush the tournament. Violet could also win if he is in NA.
He's not just a step ahead he's dubstep ahead, just look at all his bases

I think Violet is in korea playing GSTL for Azubu... but im sure with how current prize money is distributed - GSTL ( and also proleague) might be willing to take a longer break so their players can bring all that WCS money home.

I for one also think its a shame GSL is actually getting a DECREASE in prizepool.

Someone make a reddit thread get it upvoted 1500+ to get blizzards attention please

Sooo, if MGL/WCS Code (U)S is using the double-elim group format, will they implement extended series?

Only half joking about that. I think as long as it's not a bunch of BO1, then it'll be 'acceptable' for the first round.

I can't imagine a single second that GSL prizepool will decrease.

Eh, how is the GSL pricepool Blizzards responsibility?

If we assume that GOM was able to run these tournaments with higher pricepools without the direct help from Blizzard, they should be able to raise the pricepool in this case too - that is, if they feel the need to.

I don't think people understand that GSL still has the piles of money they've been stockpiling over the past few years. I'm half-joking, but will GSL give out the usual sum plus the WCS amount for the seasons they host?

I realllllly hope those regionals allow press and audience. They completely crippled the northeast fanbase with those arenas, and I as a journalist would like to be able to attend these.

good format though, i like.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

This. If this is the prizepool that Blizzard is providing, then GOM is giving nothing in rewards? And if GOM wanted to also throw in to the prizepool as well, why would Blizzard stop them? This all doesn't make sense to me. Like the format, though.

Because GSL merged with WCS KR and hypothetically has some money to spare now if Blizzard provides the whole prize pool for WCS KR while MLG and ESL still run their own tournaments besides WCS NA/EU.

you guys forget that gom expands and will host tourneys for other games. i really think blizzard will pay for sc2 and the rest of the money from gom will go into world of tanks and maybe dota2.
its a shame but i guess that will happen.

If GSL is really getting shafted in terms of prize money, I would be very pissed at Blizzard.

I can guarantee you all the prize money for World of Tanks is coming from the game developer.

Wow 20k difference from first and 2nd

Could have been slightly better done I would think

Have you not been paying attention? All WCS tournaments are supposed to have approx the same distribution.

i have, and it's a joke

the competition in korea is much tougher than it is in NA/EU...so someone who makes it to Code S RO16, for example, shouldn't make as much money as someone who makes it to RO16 in NA
