The format will be proleague style with 4 games then ace match for the first round and winners league for the second round (this is king of fight style right?). Then, 1st place from each group plays at the live final at the Taiwan Open conference, and the 3rd place match will be casted online I think.
The first qualifier will be best of five: 4 games of 1v1 and 1 Ace game (player repeatable), and the second qualifier will be a 4v4 King of fight. After the 2 qualifiers, the 1st place of each group will compete for the final, and the 2nd place of each group will also compete for the runner-up match. The runner-up match will be hosted online in July, and the final match will be hosted in Taiwan at the Taiwan Open conference. The top 2 teams in Asia will be on the stage, bringing you some awesome Starcraft II games!
Apologies, you are correct it is $40,000. The last 6k is allocated as 2k for 4th, and 1k for 5th-8th. Part of the prize pool for 1st and 2nd is an expenses paid trip to Taiwan for the finals (Which for 10 players + 2 Managers would be quite a significant amount anyway.)
Yes MVP are favorites, but iG are quite good and relatively unknown (I am personally curious as to how they will stack up), and the Taiwan Teams are fairly stacked as well.
The teams are from Asian countries only, which is basically KR walk-over. Yes, China has been improving, but every country including TW is miles behind KR.
JazBas - the only person who makes a dent from Blizzcon 2011 for AU XiGua - at least GSL code a MacSed - at least GSL code a Sen - at least GSL code a
Good job for the hosting country to take the advantage of having 2 teams in.

*Note: JazBas went on the take 3rd in that event and Iaguz and MaFia tied for 5th
EDIT: just wanna note this isnt a stab at incontrol, its just to make people aware the other teams arent the push overs the masses assume them to be
Sorry, but incontrol =/= MVP's best players and im pretty sure even incontrol would agree with me. DRG could all kill everyone in the tournament in a row.

DRG? Even TAiLS can do it.
(except maybe for SEn)

It's great that tournaments in Asia feature teams from various countries, and not only korean team, but seriously 50k $ for a tournament with such little top players seems like a huge waste of money. Makes it quite a ridiculous event IMO.

You will have your chance to cheer them on tonight as they take on Japan!
Just a reminder that tonight we will have iG vs Singapore/Malaysia as well as Taiwan Blue vs Japan. I was sent the match ups last night (I will not reveal them as it will spoil results) and there looks to be some very good games!
And yes, MVP can only use Keen, SC, Noblesse, Genius and DRG, so if you are a MVP fan, you will see their best lineup each week. Schedule and team rosters are all accessible on the ASiT website (in the OP), teams can only use players listed there.
