- Every game will be played in "Starcraft II - Wings of Liberty Age 12+".
Does that mean that every1 will have to play on a Korean client? in US SC2 is 13+ i think (Teen rating)? I bought a Digital download so i don't really know.
And you need a Korean BNet ID i assume ? Would be weird for a Global tournament to force them to play on korean clients.
either way .. amazing |

| I hope they are strict on the disqualification rules, so it doesnt become like CS, where a team is allowed to show up 2 hours after the game is about to start... |

| GomTV are to be broadcasting five days a week, imagine how many commercials and marketing they can do. I don't think this will be a short term thing. |

This is indeed very good for esports !
Blizzard tries to bruteforce the scene in korea by making a huge prizepool... will it work ? I sure do think so.
The younger "wanna be pros" will have the choice between
broodwar: old game, not huge prize pools, hard to get very good, already crowded by amazing players (flash, etc.). Still, it may remain more interesting to watch/play for some people.
sc2: young game, huge prize pools, no established scene, etc.
Honestly, I trully believe this will work. But in Korea.
What about the foreign scene ? Did it just die here ? I mean... nothing can compete with this in terms of prize pools... Will the good players from Europe, USA have the balls to go to Korea like Idra etc. ?
Here we are not talking about "playing all the day when cming back from college/work and seeing no gf/friend/family". This is a whole new way of life.
Let's take TLO for example. Will he move to Korea ? Or fall in the progaming scene oblivion, winning small tournaments there and there but not being a great name of the world of sc2 progaming ? |

I think we're here, but this is good news anyway! 
It seems this is only for Koreans though (aside from possibly Idra, Tasteless, and Artosis). I was hoping it would be really Global though.  Is Tasteless commentating this? If so... ^_^ |

How are they going to get observers?
There's no observers functionality in SC2 yet.
Have you even played SC2 or ever watched a stream yet? There is built in observer function, and it ROCKS! |

I feel like the korean prelims seperates the diehards from the one step lower than diehards.
If the die hard pro gamers in the foreign scene are serious enough to dedicate most of their life to practice, then traveling to korea for the prelims/participating isn't a problem.Last edit: 2010-08-06 00:03:16 |
