I was really hoping Kiwi and Sonkie would get through, but good job to Nilk for making it through even though he has been inactive for nearly a year.

Why is the prizemoney the same in America as in Europe and Asia? With not nearly as many good players as Europe and Asia have America shouldn't get as much prizemoney imo.

You should tell blizzard that. They do not really separate what is Asian, european or Americas scene. To them it's 3 qualifiers with 2 top players from last year and top 6 from ladder. They grant for all region the equal amount of money. Although on the other hand only 2 players from the Americas will go while other Region it's 3.
