Traveling to Poland to play in an open qualifier in a winner take all championship is more risky, but obviously a lot of players wanted a chance to come because the region qualifiers were completely stacked, especially the korean qualifier. I think this tournament is guna be so much fun to watch, and I'll be happy for whoever wins the 100k and sad for the runner up who misses out on it all it's definitely going to change someone's life for the better though and that's a good thing. I am hoping that it isn't someone who already has won tons of prize money in their career though like Jaedong or MC, but i'm very excited to see how this turns out  I bet that a lot of that 90% would have decided not to go anyways even if they won the qualifier though. It's cool to get flight paid for and get to participate in a foreign country, but no good Korean team will let a ProLeague player prioritize this tournament over even a single ProLeague match. It's losing practice time in exchange for a neat experience. Aka not worth it. | ||

(I am sorry but I cant see any of these players winning the whole thing) :/ Jaedong or Dear can't win the whole thing? be real of course they can. They also have decent equity in this event, more than enough to attend especially considering their teams are almost certainly taking care of them. Jaedong or Dear's spot in the open qualifier is probably worth like $5k in equity just for example. Perhaps more. | ||

It's losing practice time in exchange for a neat experience. Aka not worth it. Isn't that an odd thing to say when five IEM Katowice participants play in Proleague, with two of them (sOs and Rogue) seeing heavy rotation for a team that is semi-realistically gunning for the top spot? And herO is the best player on a bad team. All of them will miss at least one Proleague match, if not two (because of travel time/lack of time to prepare). Or does "good Korean team" mean only teams who didn't have players qualify? | ||
