[IEM]IEM World Championship to be $100,000 winner-takes-all tournament
In an announcement announcement released by IEM:
"To celebrate our 50th IEM event, we’ve turned up the heat for our World Championship event in Katowice, Poland. Sixteen of the world’s best StarCraft II professional players will battle it out, with only one taking home any of our US$100,000 prize money. As if that wasn’t tough enough, competitors will only have one chance to prove themselves: the single elimination bracket will allow for no mistakes.

"I can understand why they want to try it, however I'm not a fan of top heavy prizepools. A decent spread to as many players as possible is fairer, and a better reward for the time invested into the game." - Eddie
