Agree with Rage. This is just charity and there are other (better) options to support.

Good luck though, it's not like I think the idea is bad.

I'm waiting for the immediate second, not because I doubt your word, but because it's not only reliant upon you, and I don't know if Surfer will do something weird and refuse to play or whatever. He can be a bit unpredictable at times ^^. I don't anticipate that he will, but then I'm not surfer...

I expect that you will win (since he's 144-206 C), but from the point of getting the money it does not matter either way.


Do you want me to tell him you'll be looking for him, or would you rather just find him w/o him knowing in advance?

Well, I don't know the details of the situation, so I may be wrong, but I'll take a crack at this...

WCG is recognized as an international tournament where you represent your country, so donating to send someone as your representative is different than sponsoring a random USA player to play in an individual tournament IEF.

edit: To be clear, I'm not saying you're doing the wrong thing here, just guessing at why people see it differently. Not sure if TL should have an official policy about this donation stuff.

I can start streaming again, as long as people can live with an audio-free stream. Too much noise in my house to have the audio going

What if this guy committed to donating any money won to a future tournament? Seems like that would be a cool way to reward the community for donating and giving him the experience.
