very awesome stuff! Good to see ESWC staying strong!
|
I never understand why tournaments demand money from players. 200 per player if I'm reading that correctly, why?
|
the same date as blizzcon?
|
glad to see DotA strong and LoL not being in there. SC2 prize money is so huge compared to other games... counter strike has to be split to 5 players!
|
This is the big French one, right?
Great prize pool! Here's hoping there'll be lots of good EU talent competing.

Another big tournament in October!
- GSL October (with the first final outside out of Korea!) & GSTL S1 finals
- Blizzcon 2011
- ESWC 2011
- IEM Guangzhou
- MLG Orlando
- IPL 3
Best SC2 month ever?

Yes which is extremely unfortunate. ESWC is taking place at Paris Games Week and these dates got fixed last year. Before the Blizzcon announcement. So we'll miss out some top tier players unfortunately. But since Blizzcon doesn't have that many players in their tournament, there should be more than enough top tier players competing in the tournament.

Tournaments usually demands a deposit for the same reason you put a deposit for anything (apartment rental, car purchase, hotel reservation) - make sure people show up and on time. The damage that a tournament incur from a no-show will never be recovered by the deposits, but it does give the players a personal, financial stake in getting to the tournament.

It is to ensure their attendance. Compared to travel and hotel costs, the fee isn't that much.

Well, the old ESWC went bankrupt a couple of years ago and prize money did not get paid out. Which sucks off course. But the brand got sold, and last year relaunched with an new tournament. Last years prize money got fully paid, including the Warcraft 3 tournament.
Btw. all old-ESWC events, except the last one (where they went bankrupt) got paid out.
All defending champions get invited for the 2011 event. LYN won last year the Wc3 tournament and I'm currently talking to him whether he will attend the event as Starcraft 2 player.

Also IEM New York is happening on the same weekend as MLG Orlando.
I also believe IeSF finals are taking place at the same time as IPL3

Sicko. Would be really awesome if one player could manage to win two tournamets. And which tournaments are going to colide? IEM and Orlando?
