I'm aware it's not much money to an investor, i'm very aware but there's no evidence this is the case until it's actually said at least.
Nevertheless the figures don't even add up to me, how is putting up 400k just in prize money alone going to get a profit, any time soon? There's no sponsors (ones that seem to be massively endorsing and involved at least as far as i know), and the subscriptions for 3 months cannot add up to the prize money plus other costs. Maybe the stream ads help but still... you could say it's a more long term thing but still, i can't see this to be very good unless some changes happen in the future. They are putting up way more than established leagues like ESL and MLG, with i believe smaller audiences and focused on only 1 game. Not to mention SC2 eSports is already a crowded market.
However this is just speculating on the business plan now so i'll stop
When there's a history of non-payments and scams i don't think this is much of a big question though. If it's seriously an investor then why not say it, we don't need to know who or any details. The fact it's just being dodged as a question is weird.

I think it isn't just the fact that the NASL is dodging this question alone that is worrying but the way in which they dodge this question. Basically all of their responses have been two sentence sarcastic blerbs which in response to a serious issue is kind of frustrating. Also I feel like they keep trying to minimize the situation and pretend the question isn't relevant which is insulting. I hope they stop bull shitting soon.
