It's mother-fungalling MarineLorD. On another note: didn't realise this tournament existed until I stumbled upon this article, and now I'm actually quite hyped about it, so job well done TL ! <3 | ||

If a player from KR does not advance to Ro4, he likely will lose money if no reimbursement from team. Asus Rog doesn't attract players outside EU=12 koreans players out of 32? I can't imagine how many would there be if it did. | ||

I can't imagine how many would there be if it did. 12 Koreans but only 2 NA players with MaSa being the single solitary NA player who even signed up for the NA qualifier. If you're not European and your team (if you have one) doesn't pay your travel and hotel expenses this event is a net financial loss unless you make top 4 (and only top 8 get paid with to begin with). Apparently that's good enough to keep NA away from Finland even though they could get WCS points there unlike Koreans. | ||

Not gonna be easy milk run for Serral, as it looks like it'll be very soon a flight and fight against heavy concentrations of Koreans, and contrary to year 2018 they all have surely made their own individual Serral-studies. How much boost (or extra pressure?) Serral may get from competing on the home grounds, we will see. Interesting tourny. I'm mildly hyped.  | ||

While there is considerable difference in level of competition between the God-King and his closest courtiers, these guys can possibly make some damage to Serral's run only by psychological factors involved in those match-ups. Third one in the group is then Innovation, The GOAT of SC2. You can expect anything from him. | ||

Well, it's not that appealing for american players, it's true; Scarlett, however, tried to qualify, Neeb was invited and Special declined. Kelazhur, Cham, Future and Astrea are maybe the ones who can think to compete against such a field but there's too few money to justify such a gamble. Non european presence, especially korean, is instead massive; Dark definitely didn't choose not to go because koreans disregard ASUS Rog. | ||

If a player from KR does not advance to Ro4, he likely will lose money if no reimbursement from team. Dark's team has western based sponsors, so the exhibition on an international event is should exactly be what Dark is sponsored for. But I think he still can skip this since he is set for GSLvsWorld and Blizzcon. | ||

There's no comparison with ASUS ROG, which requires flying around the world on your own dime with no guarantee of getting paid against tough competition and a top prize of only $10k. | ||

It's practically more like being a guest than a competitor. There's no comparison with ASUS ROG, which requires flying around the world on your own dime with no guarantee of getting paid against tough competition and a top prize of only $10k. Actually the WCG starcraft competition was only a performace match,not a formal competition, and i think its host Tencent wants to use the fame of traditional esports to introduce its own mobile games; According to some people at the spot, they bought the ticket to watch Warcraft III but they were led to the field of mobile games. In my view, the starcraft match in this WCG can't be taken for comparison because there is nothing attractive except for the prize. | ||
