Oh you sneaky Blizzard this might actually work even for the koreans that hate you. Now this is advertisment in the right direction and trying to kill of BW at the same time.
read the line above. It said "disgraced" SC1 players. Probably means those who have cheated in the past.

Sorry I don't think I made it clear, but I think they were referring to those
who were involved in the scandal not just any other sc1 players.

I think we are all missing the point...
The huge cash prize pools will draw the best players, which will draw spectators, which will draw sponsorships... alot of the big corporations in korea will probably say "the hell with KeSPA" and jump ship to whatever GOM/Blizz have planned...
This is definitely the beginning of the end for BW... SDM comments on his twitter how nobody plays SC2 in his PC Bang.. I guarantee you this will change that...
AFAIK the BW tourneys don't come close to this in terms of cash for the players.. the BW players will definitely consider resigning those contracts...

The Tournament Cash prize is up to 200,000,000 Won(roughly around $200,000) for the Open tournament. After the Open tournament, until end of 2010, it is planned to give out up to $600,000 in cash prizes(it will be a monthly $100,000 tournament according to the readers from the playxp Which if I read correctly after the Open tournament a monthly 100k tournament untill atleast 6 of those tourneys (up to 600k whereas 1 month is given 100k) omfg <----
Offline qualifiers are on the 4th of September, the ro64 begins on the 10th. (thanks GTR). So soon. Sc2 was released 1 week ago and in 1 month the offline qualifiers start :o All games starting ro64 will be broadcasted through Gom TV. English commentary?
The 2011 GSL has four format. 1) GSL: The Upper and Lower League 2) World Championship: top 4 players from each region of B.net 3) Ladder Tournament: Top 200 players of each B.net region competing for cash prizes. 4) Blizzard Cup: Top 8 players will be invited to play best of 5 with playoff system.
The league plans to involve all the gamers in the world and stream all the games Hope I can reach top200 of Eu region (long way to go ><).

This is excellent news. SC2's competitive scene will no doubt be heavily influenced by this.
