Not very detailed but pretty spot on.

I don't agree about one thing. He brings up that there are too many tournaments as a problem, then he also brings up that sc2 is too top based and the middle class is dying. Doesn't having a lot of tournaments mean that people have more chances of getting money because the top players are split between the many tournaments? I agree with the rest tho.
Koreans should go the fuck back to Korea.

I don't think you got his point

I agree with this man.

I made a typo back there.
I generally agree with the article, it's just that the two I mentioned kinda weakens eachother's effect.

The point the article makes is tournaments are too top heavy as opposed to spreading the prizepool out where top8 receive similar money.

I understand that, it's just that if there are more tournaments that means more chances of getting in the top 3-4, therefore getting money

Well no, as it says, for tournaments to be competitive with each other they all invite the current top pros to create as much hype as they can, leaving little from for non Koreans to have a spot in the top16/top8 etc. So say dreamhack which has 10k euros trying to enter it or whatever has a top16 all Korean right? It's not the Korean pros who need the money, its the non Korean pros.

Pretty good read, makes a lot of sense
