I'm not sure if the convertible thing is a joke

But still how do I get one???

Am I mistaken or didn't Parting get $25000 for winning last year? Not ~$5000?

Not a joke haha, that plushy is indeed "convertible", slide a zipper at the bottom, pull the inside layer out, a Zergling is now a Baneling.

That was my first thought too haha "So....more money for PartinG?"

Is China the only region with prize money for WCG qualifiers? I didn't see any on Liquipedia.

Oh god, I laughed harder than I should've at that.

Glad to see Blizzard helping the Chinese scene. But we all know the plushie is the real important thing, right?
