Nice prize pool! (USD I assume?)
SKorea should dominate as usual, however I have a little hope for China and Taiwan. Still only 6 spots, will be surprised if non-SKorea take more than 1.
Seed to take it all =D! |

| 60K USD is a pretty good price money sum for the Asian Championship. It will be nice to see how the rest of Asia can fare against Koreans Last edit: 2012-08-21 15:50:30 |

I think it is $60K for the NA and EU Championship as well. Global looks to be $100K+. |

Wait, I just looked at the pages and it says NA gets 7 seeds while Europe gets 6? There can be no fucking way right that NA alone would get more seeds than EU? |

Edit: I guess they both get the same number of seeds 9 EU has more you have to look at who already qualified for it.

| I'd be more sore about Australia/NZ getting two spots. We would've had none if we didn't have our own continental championship and had to compete with a wider region. Maybe one of the South American spots, but even that I doubt our zergs could pull off. |

I think it's really weak considering that's prize pool not prize for 1st place. |

I guess this will be an all-Korean top six... I'm okay with that, though. |

You have to consider how much they have already put into the nationals prize money wise and they are doing five continentals. I believe someone said they have given out at least 400,000$ already from nationals alone. |
