As expected !
Good job Snute !

Isn't it weird that the quality of the competition in this tournament is evidently lower but the prize pool is the same???
It almost seems like Blizzard is trying to manipulate and regulate the market rather than allowing free competition.

Congrats & Good luck to Snute & TheSTC

Probably because they´re communists.
Way to go Snute. Hope the Defoe-Zerg will go far and represent cuteness.

Prize pools have nothing to do with a free market in any way. There is no product being provided to the player or exchange of goods for services. Adam Smith would not approve of your theory. If anything, Blizzard is attempting to have a promote a skilled player pool in each time zone.
Basing the prize pool on the projected skill of the players is very silly when anyone from any region can compete in the event. Also, if you knock down the prize pool based on the community's perception of the skill level of the player pool, the high skilled players will simply move to a different region the community believe that the skill level is higher.

Without joking, the arguments for equal prize/region locking fall pretty closely along the lines of some economic policy arguments

Yes, but free market arguments do not apply to prize pools, since they are not driven by any market or interaction. Dream hack does not set it's prize pool based on MLG or IEM. The flattening of the prize pools is likely be to promote players to move to different regions, and have a more evenly distributed skill pool. I guess you could call that a skill market, but I think that is stretching the analogy.
Also, Happy Birthday!
