If you wanna win money in this tournament, you gotta go to South Korea though.

Where can I download this game?

Anyway isn't Korea, Republic ofKorea boycotting Starcraft II ?
▼
Noorgrin 5 Aug 2010, 18:06
who cares tbh... if SC2 continues like that in Europe and United States of America, i am confident it will take esports on another level in those regions... so we're having our own "pro-scene".

already heard EuroSport will broadcast ESL IEM Starcraft II matches, for example... but not confirmed yet...

Roach 5 Aug 2010, 18:19
I couldn't care less if they are but SC2 wont even come near to how popular SC is/was in Korea.
Only time will tell what is te become of this game esports wise but I certainly hope Korea will eventually join in anyway.

fredd 5 Aug 2010, 19:24
aslong as kespa and blizzard are still in a war over IP rights, it probably won't. and even then, nothing will beat the excitement of brood war, not even bigger prize money.

Kespa kind of is, but Kespa and GOM aren't really friendly. Wouldn't be suprised if Kespa kept current BW progamers from attending this somehow like they did with past GOM tournaments
