So it's not tier 1? Tier 1 requires $75,000 prize pool so do we have to assume that the prize pool for sc2 is smaller than $75,000?

$200k in cash prizes and travel support. I guess most of it will be paying for flights and whatnot

Yeah. I'd expect something like 40-50k for sc2, 80k+ for heroes and the rest is travel and stuff.

MSI puts on great tournaments. I just wish they would create a consistent brand for them so it'd be appreciated.

Pretty weak that all the PAX Prime Badges are sold out already. Will there be a separate area to watch this like Blizzcon? Or do they really think people at PAX will sit down and watch SC2?

I'm hoping they have separate tickets and a separate area for this, but I haven't seen any information about tickets anywhere. Last year they did that for the LoL tournament at Prime so I think it might possible. I'd love to go watch this live, but I'm probably not going to buy Prime tickets just to see this.

I approve of ESL stepping up to the plate with this.

Yes, it's 200k USD in prizes AND travel support. For the actual prize pools: Heroes has 50k and SC2 has 25k.
