It should read: "If you were involved in the game fixing scandal, you can't play". (it's a open event, so you don't need a korean progamer license to play)

Probably just to deal with the possibility that people, who, for whatever reason, want to cause the tournament trouble and show up for the qualifier and don't even know how to play the game.

is there any coverage from fomos or any other korean sites so we can get their reaction too?
|
Umm this is only for Korea... why do we care??
Even though "- Players all around the world can participate." You must be able to make it to Seoul. As far as just watching the games, GomTV apparently requires you to install their software on your computer and apparently that only works on Windows.

The Team Liquid site? I'm just disappointed to see that actually it's not truly a global event, it's a Korean event. We westerners are still lacking in SC2 tournies. I know MLG is putting one together, but not enough out there in general for people who are basically confined to certain geographic regions.

FUCK YA!! WOOOOOOOOT!!!!
I'm so pumped for this, I'll happily fork out $ for high quality streams, even it's the rediculous $50 they were asking for back in sc1
|
im pretty excited for this along with maybe seeing the return of the "storm observer"
streaming + money + commentating...gogo exports
|
Somewhere in Korea, Idra just pooped himself.
|
So any idea how much Gom is planning on charging for this? Not a chance in hell im paying $50

Ok so its NOT worldwide and NOT easily accessible. So looks like not such great news for western SC2 community. Kinda disappointed by this
The lowest price for a round trip from where i live to seoul is like $1300. Not to mention hotel fees and other expenses.

50$ for all the events is reasonable, but for each its way too much.

It seems like you cant even buy a copy of SC2 korea (to get qualified) unless you have a KSSN. Lolwut.

Probably going to be like Gom Season 3. Free low quality but you have to pay for HD.

Are things such as fazing considered bugs?

Usually it goes this way. Im fine with 10-15$ each event, but hopely it wont be some ridiculous amount.

And what would make it a truly global event?
The event needs to be hosted somewhere. GOM is mainly in Korea. It makes sense to be there. And no, don't say that they should just be played on B.net, that is a horrible idea for several reasons that have been already mentioned.
