 Its pretty damn tough to recieve supernova by just playing MTTs on stars id say a lot of strictly mtt players that I talk with regularly, would more than agree.  Giving away the supernova benifits for almost nothing in terms of how long it takes to aquire over a year is pretty rediculous, even worse just to one specific country.  It takes away a ton of value of having that VIP level for those who already have it, and taken time to get it.

 I don't really get the fuss.  SN is only good for 2months if you achieve it through this offer and there is no real value in someone who doesnt play a ton of volume in cash / STT's putting in the effort to get to SN for two months.  It will give a few gold / plat grinders the shot at being SN for a while and they will get their extra FPP per VPP for 2 months and entry into the freebie tournaments.  Other than that I don't really see what is to be gained by being supernova for 2 months.  Fair enough if it was a permanent move to SN it would be a big deal but it isn't and it sounds better on the surface than it really is.

yeah funny how they dont do this for the US players, who make up probably 65% of their player base.

thanks stars!

There are better promotions than to give supernova vip levels to one specific target market, and exculde everyone else thats pretty unquestionable thats not reasonable to its Pokerstars other customers/players.

LOL at stars comparing the 100k fpp giveaway for playing in the main event which is 10k dollars with something that can be achieved playing micro stakes in a week.

$184 at an exact rate for your fpps.  40% more rakeback than plat star for 2 months and by then I'd be a supernova anyway.  I'd say it's pretty shitty.
