So let me get this straight. Live Finals at Caesars Palace. What the heck? There's no other real details other than the stream game times. Do we just show up? I like the fact Goswser got an invite. You guys basically gave a JD a personal invitation to run loose. In before people use this as a JD is going to take over the world preview.

It's live as in the games are broadcast live from there with the players present. It is a private event. These players qualified after topping 700 registered players from over the past three months. A few of them were Top 16 invites, but many qualified.

It says 15k in prizes, But the top 3 mentioned only make up 8k, even with the 4th-6th getting less than 4th, so lets say 800, thats still ~2k in prizes unaccounted for, so are the rest gear/computers and such and aren't listed? I don't really mind either way, just curious, and shall be entertaining tournament to watch as well I'm sure!

EG-TL has a proleague match on the 8th. I guess JD and Puma will be unavailable?

Apparently, that's actually very important information.

Pretty cool event that seems to have gotten no real hype, which is strange when it looks pretty cool.

No terrans apart from Puma and he hasn't looked that great lately tt

Yes, Jaedong and PuMa won't be available for the Proleague match against SKT... and maybe even the match against KT if they need to be flown out 2+ days prior to the event...

I lol'd... but this is true. 2 games at once for MC might be a bit too much for MC to handle.
