more money~

#1 what are you talking about $24,000 is a good amount of money for first place..although it seems kind of dumb that theres apparently no 2nd or 3rd place winners. oh and why alternate and HaHa instead of gameplay/mouz??

sick!!

$24k first prize?? I thot it's only $12k.. It's affordable trip if you're from neighbouring countries. I think these days the prize purse should be at least $30k for a professional event. Let's just see next year if there'll be more funds coming from other parties since CGS has been shut down totally :)) That tennis dude Djokovic recently juz won $1.4 million for a shanghai tourney.. WTF ..

They'll have 16 teams so at least mouz, GP, fnatic, SK, mYm, virtus, ATS (both squads) etc. Might be a good tournament :O

Does source get new professional tournaments every day like 1.6? NAHHHH BRO

"You sir, are an ignorant SOB who will not get anyhere in the eSports community."

one thing tho , k23 had a rooster change with its most noticable fragger from WCG leave the team for studies .... guess gotfrag missed it

BANKAI!

i wonder how long would it take for a top team to claim their money back...

#24

Yes, one of the k23 players has left the project right after WCG, but the team has already found a replacement and will attend upcoming ASUS Autumn 2008 event as well as Rekrut...
