Even just one would make this tournament so much more exciting in both story line and gameplay. It would also give the first prize to the korean player. So what if there are no koreans? If you want koreans, go watch GSL. It's on practically every day. | ||

Giving the first place prize to a korean player is a bad thing somehow? Many of the koreans on tonight's weekly would have been favored to win this entire tournament (and probably would have won), yet they get a much smaller prize pool for a much harder tournament (nothing against ESV they are doing a fantastic job and hopefully will continue to grow). I prefer seeing the better players win the better money and those are the kind of tournaments I watch/support, GSL, MLG, and Korean Weekly are the must see tournaments for me. The invites for this tournament appear to be more popularity contest than merit, nothing necessarily wrong with that, it just isn't the type of tournament I prefer to watch (though I did catch a fair amount of this tournament, mostly because it was just on when I was looking for something to watch). That doesn't mean I'm some kind of elitist and refuse to watch anything without koreans, I just think if the logistics are feasible it would certainly not hurt for TB to throw in one or two popular or up and coming korean players. This is all just my opinion of course, feel free to disagree with it. | ||

This is all just my opinion of course, feel free to disagree with it. Lets just calculate what this exactly means (24h clock, i didn't check the timezones exactly): 1. For EU the tournament starts around 12:00 2. For US the tournament starts around 4:00 3. For KR the tournament starts around 20:00 Now lets assume the finals start 4 hours after the tournament start on day2 (Semi finals, Bronze Match, then finals, no delays): 1. For EU it's 16:00 2. For US it's 8:00 3. For KR it's 0:00 No matter how you shift the tournament, there is no time which is ok for all 3 timezones, especially when it comes to delays or such. Make it earlier and players from the US can't participate. Make it later and players from Korea can't participate. However, TB is planning on doing a special for korea, so lets wait and see what awesomeness he has planned. | ||
