Invitation in Sweden and China, qualifiers in Korea. Hacker.PK won the qualifiers, but will play in the WCG qualifier final against FvW.MAXTILL on August 6th.

#27 why is it a dumb tournament? Sure the prize money is low, but that's because the WEF is normally only between Korea and China. This year they expanded it and invited NiP and fnatic. Also, winning $10,000 for a game is not bad.

it's awesome that DirecTV is currently backing e-Sports since they can easily pull $50,000 out of their gigantic wallets, but comparitively, this tournament should actually be taken more seriously.

I don't think there is such a thing as a "pointless tournament." All tournaments can determine your skill. Also, if you win you get cash, and I don't believe that's pointless. :)
