This. Is. Awesome. Looking for Keen to roll through to the finals ^^
Also, will Khaldor be casting any of these matches or do the times conflict with GSL, I know he's not in the streamers section but I just wanted to double check. |

| That is quite a line-up. A nice mixture of old guard and new talent—looking forward to your show. |

| Was just wondering about the KSL since the team games got over. This is going to be soooo sweet. StC vs Choya again, setting up some rivalries in league already? Keen vs Leenock, Jjakji vs Youngwha too much good action ^^ |

I believe MC will have to play from Europe, as the KSL is always live. |

I'm confused by this tournament.
Is there a prize besides money?
I read the liquidpedia that the prize pool is literally 150 dollars....
What's the point of wasting so much effort on something that's literally worthless?

| Will be interested to see how well Finale can do. After his 3kill against oGs against Terrans, I'm expecting him to do well against Gumiho, even if he doesn't win. |

I'm working on getting the specifics for this particular event as far as prizes go, but a lot of times they do it for pride and exposure. |

For the KSL in general, most players either do it to get a feel for tournaments (new players especially), or to get most importantly some exposure.
Then you get players like MC who just want some easy cash  |

I really dont think exposure is an issue these days. There are a million and a half tournaments around the world for starcraft 2.
99% of which has a prizepool greater than 150 dollars. If this is the best the KSL can muster, I feel that it is a travesty to the hardworking players. They deserve better!

And if they wanted better they could easily decline their invitation and someone else would fill in. The prize money is clearly not an issue to them so they accepted the invite. I don't see why you're trying to create a problem when there really isn't any. Tournaments have to keep in mind sustainability as well. Yes the prize money is lower than what we're used to but, so what? The winners of this tournament could also be playing for seeds into a Final type tournament with a higher prize pool which seems to be the norm these days.
Players were cool with it and they went ahead. |

I'm not informed as to the reason Slayers and TSL are not involved, but I can certainly inquire after it. |
