Well, I guess he won't be able to attend...


Serral plans on attending ESL Spring and EWC and he sounded rather confident that he could.

What does it even mean that the qualifiers will have $750K? My understanding is there are qualifiers at the very end after the first fourteen players are already decided. Are they really gonna put 750000 into that last qualifier that decides the last two players after presumably the top 14 performing players were already decided?

Oh, good point... hmm...
Maybe everyone who qualified (gets to the first round of the tournament) gets some money too?
That IS a ton of money for qualifiers, holy. The main tourny is only $1 million lol

Hmm wait is it 750k? It's $60 million for all the games, $760k for all the qualifiers.
So for SC2 maybe it'd end up being just around $13k for qualifiers?

The leaked image, I believe in the thread above, said for qualifier 500k and then 250k below that, specifically for SC2

The image looked real enough but I don’t know how to make sense of it

Oh holy crap you're right. That's weird. Maybe it was taken down to be edited further.
It wouldn't seem to make sense with the main tourny actually being $1 million... Even other games' qualifiers don't give as much. Maybe it was supposed to be $50k and $25k for qualifiers. Maybe $50k awarded to those who made it (for example, those who had enough EPT points get a prize for making it in), and $25k for open qualifiers.

Cool that SC2 has a bigger pool than Rocket League this year though! I think it was smaller last year and Rocket League was more around $1 mil.

Well, to be a smart-ass, they already have the Qualifier for ESW, which are the ESL Global Final and IEM, so the prize pool for the "qualifier" are 75k x 3 + 500k = 735k.

Wait, there's a ESL Global Final? Or you just mean IEM Kato which had $500k?
And where is the other $75k * 3 coming from, sorry i don't really understand how the circuit works lol

I mean the ESL Seasonal tournament Main Event (Fall/Winter/Spring), winner of Fall and Winter (Serral and Clem) are qualified into EWC, and top 4 in Spring will be qualified as well. So they do serve as "qualifier" in a sense.

I don't know if this is 100% accurate, but here's the official Prize pool breakdown for each game: https://gall.dcinside.com/mgallery/board/view/?id=dota&no=46164&page=1

These numbers seem to match the ones posted by Waxangel, so the $1,000,000 SC2 prize pool is very likely correct.


There will be a "Mobile Legends Women" tournament with 500k on the line in Saudi Arabia. Now that is interesting.

You got some numbers turned around IMO.

7,5 million are for qualifiers. 5 of those for DotA alone.
SC2 has 750k which probably is counting everything ESL does since ESL works for Saudi

Serral's military service is in the athlete corps which allow them to have days dedicated to travel for competition reasons, he has likely reserved them for EPT Dallas and EWC, hence he wasn't playing in anything else in recent times, like StarsWar qualifiers.

Yeah given some of those tournies gave direct tickets to this event I suppose they very much are qualifiers too, although it feels a bit weird for big Premier tournies to be classed as such

Even the World Cyber Games used to have mobile and "kid games". And the EWC still covers basically the full lineup except for 1v1 Shooters, but considering that Quake is the only one left and is the most closed Esports ever...yeah, no.

Yeah. I will give this event a pass.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Yeah it actually kinda sucks cus the top SC2 players are like millionaires or half millionaires
We could use a few more % just for those in the top #15-30 range to help sustain the scene's size

But i think they'll give a pretty nice amount to the 18 who qualify so that's not bad
