It's because EU and NA have been given equality with Korea, despite the fact that both regions are much worse, that all the Koreans are coming. Korea has been well and truly screwed over in this whole thing and yet people are still moaning. How many NA/EU players are going to be making $1500 at least for doing NOTHING this season? Of course they would, the talent pool of KR is just so much bigger than the 32 or even 64 players a single tournament system can support. Giving an extra 20k to the winner because that's what GSL used to give wouldn't change jack shit. | ||

If the audience for blizzard is outside of Korea, why should the money go to subsidizing the Korean scene? To ensure that they will stay the strongest forever? | ||

Well what was WCS last year then? There was equality last year, except that time they didn't allow the Koreans out of their own shooting gallery until the final stages. | ||

(While in Korea there are idk, atleast 200 fulltime progamers, there are a lot less i guess in NA and Europe) | ||

What are these guys supposed to do about literally everything else in there lives. Why would blizz make a new global league and only make it viable to play in for part of code S. 1500 over two and a half months means ramen and parents basement. Love that they are trying but a multi billion dollar corporation cant give out a little more? almost 2 million a year isn't enough? lol. My rent: $300/mo Phone: $50/mo Car Insurance: $100/mo That means after the $750/mo I still have $300 for food. Now idk where you live, but ramen isn't that expensive.  | ||

People, just because you would have done something different, doesn't make it the "worst decision ever". Personally, I would have given EU/NA challenger a bit more, but there's nothing to whine about at all - they listened! Give them credit for once, when they deserve it! (Yes, $20,000 for a GSL winner seems low compared to other years, but remember that whoever wins a GSL qualifies for a tournament with a bigger prizepool. So it's good. | ||

More I read about the WCS, more I dislike it. Old GSL and individual leagues were better. | ||

And korean 1st~5th finisher will be at least 5~8th at season final,which means they earn at least $7,500 I think it's not bad for a lot of Korean player. | ||

I really, REALLY hope at the GSL finals mangosix will surprise the winners with additional checks for finalists - checks only having mangosix logos and devoid of any WCS graphics. The fact that Code S / OSL title gives less moneys compared to almost every premier weekend tournament out there makes me sad. | ||
