2*2.5 > 3*1.5 though. And in 2015 making Code S was less than 800$, that's a huge increase (although that was probably because of GOM).
Still, a 3rd season would have been great.

Wow Losira vs Choya??? That's amazing, I wish I could watch, I really miss the Choya bounce.
Whatever happened to Khaldor, anyways? I stopped watching SC2 for awhile and when I popped in again, it seemed like he'd completely disappeared.

Switched to Heroes of the Storm (although he casted SC2 at Gfinity events this year, but that was like 4 times in one year).
E: So I did some math and it seems we'll get 3 to 4 BO5 per day in Code A. Seems fair.

Oh, cool! Glad to know he's still active somewhere. Thanks.

MC had a sick coaching staff and still didn't make it through. I blame the guy with the glasses, whoever that may be.

Yes but theres only 16 players in Code S. The overall price pool is barely higher then the 2015 GSLs and lower than 2014 GSLs. The new "higher" pricepool for 2016 comes at the price of only 16 players really benefiting of it and also Koreans cant participate in any non korean tournament. Plus the added risk of only 2 seasons per year so its easier to miss out on it. To me it seems Blizzard pretty much screwed the korean professionals.

Code S is 32 players and the prize pool per season for GSL is much higher than 2014 and 2015, especially in Code A.

Overall prize pool of GSL in 2016 = $154k Code S x 2 + $50k Code A S1 + $40k Code A S2 = $438k
Overall prize pool of GSL in 2015 = $84k Code S x 3 + $8.6k Code A x2 = $269.2k
The bigger problem isn't about money, it's about overall less tournaments to play in.

450k is also what 3 2014 GSLs had in prices. So its still only an increase compared to 2015 where Gom probably had economical troubles. I expect weekend tournament viewership to decrease drastically thanks to blizzards dickmove. So maybe we only have to endure this bullshit for 1 season

You need to realize that if "viewership decreases drastically thanks to Blizzards dickmove", the next step isn't going to be "bring back the Koreans in weekend tournaments". The next step is going to be "no SC2 in weekend tournaments at all".

Now I`m just wondering why every thread topics moves on to game bashing and blaming Blizzard.
