Just curious what exactly makes up the entire 200k USD prize that's described in the OP. According to the site, the total cash prize across all games is ~80k USD if add the prize pool from all games. I'm assuming the cash listed on there is total for the game and not what first place takes home. Is 'other prizes' a blanket statement to include air travel, hotel, etc for players going to the event or something else?

This seems very cool either way but reading 200k total prize money then not being able to see what makes up that 200k seems kinda off compared to other tournaments imo.

As for 13k seeming low as a few people have pointed out, SC2 is still the 2nd largest cash prize pool behind LoL which is still just under 65k prize, roughly 13k per player.

This is great, though I'm not so sure about giving priority in signing up to players with higher ladder rank....
There's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep trying till you run out of cake.

75% of the total prize pool for first place seems kind of silly. Especially since many players will have to make expensive trips.


The flights and hotels are covered already. How would you guys distribute it? 100,000 HKD (~13,000 USD) in total among 8 players.


1st place: 50,000
2nd place: 20,000
3rd-4rth place: 7500
5th-8th place: 3750


Keep in mind, because of the double elimination format, it would be like this:

1st:
2nd:
3rd:
4th:
5th/6th:
7th/8th:

Yours is suitable for single elim.

1st: 40,000
2nd: 20,000
3rd: 12,000
4th: 8,000
5th/6th: 6,000
7th/8th: 4,000

That information differs from the official site information linked in the OP http://hkesports.com/games/ . Assuming ESFI's numbers are correct since its closer to the advertised 190k total, I'd assume FIFA gets the same as SSFIV and CSGO at $1288, bringing it to a grand total of $81,664, still well shy of the 190k. FIFA is listed on the official site as getting the same prize as SSFIV.

Business class round trip. :o
Though I think the players wouldn't have minded if the trip was just economy class with the excess money being poured into the prize pool. ^.^"

Pretty sick. But too bad they insist on players from each region.

Only 2.5 days left to register for the event! I made a post about this on reddit as well: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1iw2cs/25_days_left_to_signup_for_the_1st_hong_kong/

I have updated some of the casters as well as the qualifier dates/times and the map pool.

I like how they're using the money. Cover travel/stay so you aren't discouraging players from participating.

Too bad Jim's out.
