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

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. Well, the companies behind it can inject quite a lot of money in it if they want to.
