This is way too much money to pay out for any gaming tournament, but I know why they're doing it: to lure the absolute best Korean superstars away from Brood War and Kespa. If this doesn't do it, I'm not sure what will, or if the most prominent players can ever be free from Kespa to begin with.

I'm also guessing that the prominent American and European players are going to have issues getting overseas and staying in Korea for a whole month. That's not cheap ($1000 LA to Seoul, plus whatever hotels would be). There has to be some disappointment about having another major Korean-centered tournament for those of us hoping for something a little more international. Maybe they will change the venue for next year's GomTV tournaments. Rotate it through the major SC2 countries.

At the same time as I complain, I also understand that big Korean SC2 tournaments are what's needed to get the energy away from Brood War and to break down Kespa, and I hope that we get to see a handful of the best Kespa players break away and start their careers anew in SC2. I'm also hoping that the results of this tournament help fuel legit American and European tournaments (rather than just privately funded b.net games as has been happening throughout beta and release so far whose efforts feel mostly amateur).

I hate that rule ----> - You chat (besides surrenderring).
and - A friend notification appears during the game.

Edit , that sounds stupid and too much hard.



(emphasis mine)

Really? It's the final match, the winner will get $80,000 and the loser with get $40,000 (or something like that). You have two friends in the audience with a laptop. If they both come online at the same time, your opponent is trying to cheese. One will come online every time your opponent expands. The other will come online if your opponent is heading to take out one of your expansions.

With proper planning, friend notifications are equivalent to friends sending you chat messages during the game. With this much money on the line, don't think people wouldn't abuse it if they could.

Great news indeed. Lots of SC2 too watch now as well. Considering it is a lot of cash every month it might make sense for the really good players to relocate to Korea if they feel they can get enough money from it to survive.

The global part I think comes from the fact everyone can tune in to watch and to participate you don't need a KESPA progamer license(just be in Korea).
Brood War forever!

I'm excited. Maybe we can see some new faces, and old ones alike. The first step towards eSports being up there!

Reading this again is just so heartening. Huge respect to Blizz. To all those people who were bitching about Blizz not caring or being uninterested in ESPORTS, where you at?

The prize money is completely ridiculous, I wonder how the SC;BW pros react to this, it must be a strong incentive for less successful players to switch. Talk about kick starting the SC2 pro scene.
