Dude, i thought this was a spam bot thread Holy crap. So first place might win $300k and 2nd place $150k? This is amazing. A bit too sad that only 18 players will taste some of that money though. Even 24 would be a nicer way to spread it around. | ||

The deepest the Liquipedia Discord can trace it back is to this German article and a deleted tweet  https://www.gamesunit.de/artikel/esports-world-cup-mit-rekord-preisgeld-von-mehr-als-60-millionen-us-dollar-bestaetigt-196509.html https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLS-mPQWcAAFjkP.jpg | ||

These numbers seem to match the ones posted by Waxangel, so the $1,000,000 SC2 prize pool is very likely correct. | ||
