At the media day held on the 4th, a few things were announced that may pique the interest of people;
- Opening Day (8th December) will begin with EG-Liquid taking on KT Rolster, followed by STX Soul vs SK Telecom T1. The next day will have reigning champions CJ ENTUS against Woongjin Stars, and Team 8 vs Samsung KHAN.
- There is a total prize pool of 300,000,000 KRW for the whole season (approximately $275,000 USD). It is the largest prize pool offered for Proleague in its history.
- The new maps to be used this round are Planet S, Caldeum, Arkanoid and Bifrost. It is unknown which ladder maps have made the cut.
- Games will broadcast at mid-day on OGN during weekends, while SPOTV begins their broadcast at 5pm KST on Monday and Tuesdays.Last edit: 2012-12-04 22:13:44 |

I'd thought that proleague was doing worse since they switched to Sc2, but the highest prizepool might suggest otherwise? |

iNcontroL has been rumored to be TLEG's ace player.
With that said, really cool they're upping the price pools a lot. That's a quite crazy sum right there.

This shit just keeps getting insane!! EG-TL have an awesome chance of doing well in this as well, considering it's all SC2 and they have decent squads. No wonder EG are sending over the big guns to the EG Lab (EG Korean House) if the prize fund is $275,000!!!!!
And to top it off they are opening up vs KT!!!
Flash vs Hero/Taeja/IdrA/Stephano....oh please make that happen!
New maps going be interesting, i hope EG send it's players over pretty quickly so they can practice on these maps ASAP

| The diablo theme map is Caldeum, not Planet S I guess, Caldeum is the city name in Act II of Diablo III. |

Blizzard might has helped with prizepool? Don't know for sure though.

Well, the companies behind it can inject quite a lot of money in it if they want to. The real question is whether the investment will pay off for them enough to continue doing so.
Btw foreigners so lucky, getting the easiest opponent in the first round.  Last edit: 2012-12-04 21:22:58 |

| But Taeja, HerO and Demuslim are all going to be at NASL. Not sure this is going to work out as well for EG.Liquid as one would like to see. Other news, I'll be watching this :D. |
