If the funds are used correctly then this could be quite something.

I mean there is a lot of rich people, but the reason why people are rich is that they dont spend money on something that's not going to give them a return. That's where the questioning the believability comes into play.

I mainly wanted to know that that it is an actual company that has some kind of reputation they are risking if they don't pay out. We've had cases with sponsors that people didn't really look into into, and it later turned out that the companies essentially didn't exists. If this is a huge company worth billions, chances are that the tournament will actually happen, and the price money will be paid out (eventually).

Good investment? Not sure. It's no doubt a high risk investment though, so good to have a large bank to draw from.

So yeah, looking forward to this! Hopefully we'll see Koreans vs foreigners!

Divide 1.5 mil by 5 and you get 300k per player :D

That's assuming they have a winner gets it all format, which I hope it's not.

It is not a april fools joke.

In CS:GO this news made it 2 days ago into the media. 1.5 Million $ there, highest prize pool ever.

Alibaba is larger then amazon now, just made the biggest enter at the NY stock exchange ever and one of the largest companies in china.
This is legit.

The question now: WCS Global?
