The money is the same for the continent. Continental Finals - $50.000 (CS 1.6), $30.000 (WoW) Continental Finals - $50.000 (CS 1.6), $30.000 (WoW) Global challanges are for everyone. It's just that there will be 2 of them in NA and 1 in Europe i guess

"Keep in mind that Global Challenges are open to anyone, meaning teams from Asia can attend challenges in North America." I like how most of the Europeans can't read and just start hating on North America. :P

Most people just notice the numbers and skip the text, that's (sadly) how it works.

Yeah, that's unfortunate, especially when you guys at HLTV.org take the time to write these nice articles. You clearly mentioned anyone can attend the global challenges, because you knew people would react that way. It still happened. lol

It doesn't change the fact that making 2 global challenge in america is retarded, what if it was source and most global challenge were in asia (while almost all source teams are in america).

Yeah having 3 events in NA and 3 in EU is totally retarded. We should probably have 5 events in EU and have the world finals at the North Pole. [/sarcasm] Oh and as a side note there's a new article Nix0n made for you, if you ever decide to read this entire article and want to read another. :D
