Also, it's about time IdrA dominated but with some good Koreans and just Protoss players in general I am unsure. | ||

I always thought Carmac was a blessing for the scene. Carmac why so cool ? On October 01 2011 12:31 Carmac wrote: Where does the total prize purse go to one person? DreamHack Valencia, where Thorzain comes, makes 4-5 in the finals against DRG after beating Hero and HuK, but still go home with 0€ in the pocket. | ||

It doesn't feature any of the power houses from any of the regions. Sure the tournament only got one of the best zergs "Dimaga" in EU and one of the best terran "Strelok" in EU. US only got the best player "Idra" attending. The Chinese only got there best players. And Rain, JYP, Puma, Revival not top Koreans really? Yea the line-up sure do look weak  | ||

Yeah, when he says "White dude" he is referring to the time when he made Moon says "Korean owns white dude" back in IEM a year ago. | ||

At the same time, I'm not surprised that it's not attracting the huge powerhouse players. IEM has a significantly smaller prize fund than other major SC2 tournaments. The GSL prize fund is approximately $150,000 for example. NASL season 2 is going on right now ($100,000 prize fund), and IPL 3 starts the day after IEM ends ($100,000 prize pool in that too). With only a 21k prize fund at IEM, the players that can't make every event are probably more likely to choose one of the other events over IEM.

At Dreamhack, it was only an 8 player invitational compared with big tournaments like MLG, so having only a prize for 1st makes more sense in this case than others, I think. | ||
