Just curious what exactly makes up the entire 200k USD prize that's described in the OP. According to the site, the total cash prize across all games is ~80k USD if add the prize pool from all games. I'm assuming the cash listed on there is total for the game and not what first place takes home. Is 'other prizes' a blanket statement to include air travel, hotel, etc for players going to the event or something else?
This seems very cool either way but reading 200k total prize money then not being able to see what makes up that 200k seems kinda off compared to other tournaments imo.
As for 13k seeming low as a few people have pointed out, SC2 is still the 2nd largest cash prize pool behind LoL which is still just under 65k prize, roughly 13k per player.

This is great, though I'm not so sure about giving priority in signing up to players with higher ladder rank....

Especially since many players will have to make expensive trips. The flights and hotels are covered already. How would you guys distribute it? 100,000 HKD (~13,000 USD) in total among 8 players. 1st place: 50,000 2nd place: 20,000 3rd-4rth place: 7500 5th-8th place: 3750 Keep in mind, because of the double elimination format, it would be like this: 1st: 2nd: 3rd: 4th: 5th/6th: 7th/8th: Yours is suitable for single elim. 1st: 40,000 2nd: 20,000 3rd: 12,000 4th: 8,000 5th/6th: 6,000 7th/8th: 4,000

That information differs from the official site information linked in the OP http://hkesports.com/games/ . Assuming ESFI's numbers are correct since its closer to the advertised 190k total, I'd assume FIFA gets the same as SSFIV and CSGO at $1288, bringing it to a grand total of $81,664, still well shy of the 190k. FIFA is listed on the official site as getting the same prize as SSFIV.

Business class round trip. :o Though I think the players wouldn't have minded if the trip was just economy class with the excess money being poured into the prize pool. ^.^"

I guess Major cant compete for NA, it only has the US/Canadian flag!
I guess he can be the pirate.

I like how they're using the money. Cover travel/stay so you aren't discouraging players from participating.
Too bad Jim's out.
