Prize Pool[edit]

Scarlett with the first place prize

$60,000 and seven berths in the World Championship in Shanghai are spread among the players as seen below:

Scarlett and ViBE finished 1st and 2nd, but since they had already qualified for the World Championship (by winning the Canada and USA Nationals, respectively), seeds will be awarded to the 8th and 9th place finishers. The 9th place finisher will be determined by a single-elimination consolation bracket between the players who are eliminated in Losers Bracket Round 4.

Suppy received a seed after Ostojiy decided not to attend the 2012 Battle.net World Championship to focus on schoolwork.^[1]
