A total of 4000 points will be given out at this particular event. During the Grand Finals, top StarCraft II and Heroes of the Storm players from around the world will be able to play on cutting-edge MSI GAMING products that help them showcase their skills and perform at their best.


Looks like it'll be a WCS Tier 2 event (>$25,000 prize pool)


So it's not tier 1? Tier 1 requires $75,000 prize pool so do we have to assume that the prize pool for sc2 is smaller than $75,000?

Or the amount of invites prevent it from being T1, one of the two or both maybe.

$200k in cash prizes and travel support.
I guess most of it will be paying for flights and whatnot

Yeah. I'd expect something like 40-50k for sc2, 80k+ for heroes and the rest is travel and stuff.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

MSI puts on great tournaments. I just wish they would create a consistent brand for them so it'd be appreciated.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

Pretty weak that all the PAX Prime Badges are sold out already. Will there be a separate area to watch this like Blizzcon? Or do they really think people at PAX will sit down and watch SC2?

I'm hoping they have separate tickets and a separate area for this, but I haven't seen any information about tickets anywhere. Last year they did that for the LoL tournament at Prime so I think it might possible. I'd love to go watch this live, but I'm probably not going to buy Prime tickets just to see this.

Yes, it's 200k USD in prizes AND travel support. For the actual prize pools: Heroes has 50k and SC2 has 25k.
