Is there a reason for this change?



I could forsee that the IEM World Championship this season could be only Koreans How come all the IEM events this year are international (7 american, 4 euro, 2 asia, 1 korea for example), whereas last year it was only region... I.E. IEM NA was only available to NA players, etc.Is there a reason for this change?I could forsee that the IEM World Championship this season could be only Koreans twitter.com/xerislight -- follow me~~

Not sure why they switched to doing all Global Challenges this year instead of some Global Challenges and some region specific tournaments. Guess this way the tournaments are all open to the best players from around the world.

Speaking of prize pools, is it 100% confirmed that only SC2 will be played in Sao Paulo? If so this leaves a pretty large prize pool for the Season VI World Championship, rivaling the sums awarded at NASL, MLG Providence, GSL etc. Thanks for keeping us updated m0s1n0Speaking of prize pools, is it 100% confirmed that only SC2 will be played in Sao Paulo?

I think it mostly had to do with the difference in skill level between the regions. The Americas has always been behind everyone else, with the exception a few such as Rapha in QL and EG.WoW pulling an upset two seasons ago, and Asia expect for RTS, weren't necessarily the strongest contenders in other games. So my guess is that instead of rewarding spots to say the Americas, just for the sake of having an American qualifiers, they are simply doing it all international and having everyone earn their spots by going through the best of the best.

Yeah, it is 100% sure that there will only be played SC2. If i am not predicting wrong every IEM Event will feature the game. So the IEM will have more than 150.000 US-Dollar (World Finals prediction about 50.000 US-Dollar) in the prize pool.
