No love for StrifeCro? Haha. But yeah when tournaments aren't mindful of other events going on I'm sure it makes it really tough on the players who want to participate.

Yea I definitely feel for ya man, its just a combination of an extremely tight deadline and very short term notice of the event, so we did what we had to do.
Things will be different for the next IEM events for sure.

I think The semifinals will be IdrA vs Select and Killer vs Fenix, I'm guessing IdrA will go through the Winners and Select through the loser Bracket

There is no prize money per-say, its more of $600 dollars towards travel cost for both of the winners. We are not allowed to offer prize money for this.
|
Where is Liquid'Tyler? 
|
just 2 spots hmm...
Idra select?
|
Idra/Select are in the same side of the bracket, so it will be harder for both of them to make it.

Is that $600 per player, or $600 total for the top 2?

Why is this called Americas Championchip when its just a qualifier for GC? American Championchip is comming later this Season, isn't it?
|
Ahh IEM... the major tournament that is so often overlooked. Looking forward to it!
Edit: And just to clarify what I mean by that... IEM is not mentioned nearly as much as tournaments like NASL, MLG and Dreamhack, but it gets people from around the world just like they do.

Its called that because of championship bracket. Americas refers to North, South, and Central America. There will be an IEM in NYC later this year.

So that's $600+at least $600 which is the prize money for 13th-16th place at gamescom?
|
Heh we wish, but unfortunately that's not the way intel wants to do it. $600 for 13th-16th is the travel money As every player who shows up to gamescom is guaranteed $600.
