<h2>DON'T DONATE FOR NOW, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH EG NOT LIKING HIM TAKING DONATIONS. I believe donated money will be used towards a community event, or maybe returned to the donors if he can. </h2>- HnR)Insane
Recently, Poland showed great pride and patriotism when they raised money to send both Yayba and Draco to the WCG Grand Finals. This year's IEF tournament has been coined in advance by Dan Artosis as "the best LAN ever for Starcraft". They're planning on a full cadre of top rated non Koreans, Chinese, and of course, Korean pro gamers.
USA's own David "Louder" Fells has received an invite, but needs some help raising funds so he can have his ticket go from USA -> Korea (for IEF) -> China (for WCG GF). The price difference (what is needed) is $500 USD. His team, EG is already forking over the dough to send him to the WCG Grand Finals.
Being that IEF will be the greatest LAN ever, I'm here on behalf of a close friend of mine, and a lover of American Starcraft players to try and rally support for sending another American to IEF.
Are you impressed by Louder's amazing play at LAN events (3rd and 2nd place at WCG USA in 2008 and 2009, respectively) and want to see him compete at a high level among the world's finest competition? Are you a fan of the American Starcraft scene? Do you just want to support sending foreign players to large scale events? These are all excellent reasons to donate.
How Much Is Needed: $500 USD
How Can I donate?:
+ Show Spoiler +
To donate, you can paypal any amount to: hasuboy13@hotmail.comDon't donate for now, see top of this post! I'm acting as the coordinator for this project, since I'm both respected enough in the community and as a good friend of Louder's.
Deadline: His team, EG wants to be able to book the flight as soon as possible before rates increase, so the deadline will be October 23rd, 2009.
What if the amount is not met?: You can check the tournaments forum for recent events I have and am hosting - if the needed funds are not raised, and I've gotten too many donations to refund them, I'll put it towards a community event.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, don't hesitate to send me a PM. I hope that TL can rally some support to send Louder to IEF! If we raise enough money to send him, Louder promises to train as hard as possible to represent TL and the United States to perform to the best of his abilities.
Thank you all,
Xeris - on behalf of the USA National Team, and USA Starcraft!
Current Amount: $226

i would donate but i dont have a paypal 
gl to louder :D

I hope he can make it. He showed convincing results on LAN in the past and I am sure it's worth the money to send him over to Korea for this event. I wish you best of luck with this. Those 500$ will be raised in no time.

uh, im jealous, attending two such awesome events
GL louder.
|
ill definitely donate he helped me get tickets to wcg last year, real cool dude and such a strong toss now a days
|
I'll update progress on a daily basis ~

lol can i send a check duran?
|
I'd prefer paypal T_T;; checks take awhile plus I don't have a really friendly bank here in D.C to cash it - apparently there's no Wells Fargos here TT
|

I can't donate right now but I would love to in a couple days when I get some more money. Only 500 dollars? Pssh that should be easy for us. I can contribute like 20 no problem.
|
I'll support this if Louder does something for TL. I don't know what it would be but maybe some sort of pay-to-view showmatch would be a good fundraiser. I'd pay a few bucks to see some entertaining games, as long as they're actually entertaining.

Lol oh shit, thought it said OEF for a second.. i gotz trickedz

Representing the united states and TL on the global scale isn't doing something for TL?

That's what we're giving him money for. Something else would be like something integral mentioned, except it should be free. Or, a complete guide of his choice would be great imo.

500? This should be easy.

I will donate 100 bucks if he plays surfer4life (1v1), makes a FPVOD + commentary (i.e., while he's playing) of it, and posts it somewhere (preferrably youtube, but some other video hosting site works if there's one better for it).
Dunno if he considers it worth 100 bucks to do it.
Surfer's name on iccup is terran[scary], same with his name on east.

Uhm, I don't wanna break down on a good initiative but..
Aren't you a working man? Why should other people pay for your trip, when you'll be the one to enjoy it and cash the money if you win something?
500 bucks sounds like a reasonable amount to pay for yourself so you can enjoy a nice vacation in Korea with a lot of your friends.
It's not like you'd really be "representing the USA" with rekrul, inc and IdrA going.

Just because Louder works doesn't mean he just has $500 to drop on a trip. Have you considered that he has to deal with the other things working men have to deal with, I.E, supporting his family, paying bills, etc? I think it's pretty unfair for you to guess that just because he has a career that he somehow has money to spend on BW trips, and it's also unfair for you to tell him what he should do with his money. Pretty sure his kids need to be put through school, fed, etc... plus it's coming up on the holiday season which is the worst time of year for a parents' pocket

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?

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

*shrug*, I don't care either way about IEF too much. I just figured I'd be nice and donate if I got something I thought would be amusing to see :D

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.

right and if you read my op I sorta addressed that issue O_O;; IEF's supposed to be "the best LAN ever for SC", so it would be nice to have more Americans playing in it... I'm not going to argue any longer, it's not worth it - donate if you want to support USA gaming and see IEF live up to its hype!

we're at $226 btw, almost halfway!

Poland had a representative, no? And not for nothing, but I doubt that Yayba and Draco only play SC ever. I don't know anyone at this point in time who doesn't even work part-time. If the community raised nearly $6,000 for them, why is it unreasonable to ask for $500 to benefit a working father who also has this opportunity to play on the international stage? I'm sure Yayba and Draco will also be enjoying the trip to Chengdu with friends of theirs in the BW scene, and they will be able to cash in if they win anything.
In other words, I fail to see the difference here.

I didn't get home until 1:50 AM so I'm not watching them yet. Will watch them tomorrow after work as a treat 
http://livestream.com/louder - go to on demand. Louder's officially my hero for doing this so quickly, so I will be donating the money to the community event instead since he's not allowed to accept donations apparently.
|
Ya - I can confirm... dropping a drama bomb:
So Artosis said he needs to confirm the player list for IEF by today, and that Louder needed to buy his ticket, so we assumed we'd get up to the $500, and after talking to EG apparently they literally wouldn't let him go if he got any donations. On top of that they said if he accepted donations to go to IEF they wouldn't pay for his flight to China.
All in all, I guess EG shafted him T__T;.
I need to think about what to do now.

If we raised the money to send Louder, you could interpret it as EG being the villains that are not supporting their players thus forcing the community to do so for them. And do you seriously think that EG are blind enough not to notice what was going on in case we lied?

I will say here what I said to EG - nobody thinks teams have unlimited budgets. In fact, it's pretty rare for teams outside Korea to give money to SC players at all, in general. Rather than be thrilled that the community is willing to support players, the decision is based on the notion that this is equivalent to EG begging for money. I don't think that's accurate and I don't think most people would. But it's the team's decision and I'll respect it.
To be clear I was given no ultimatum about China. I was simply given the impression that if I accepted these donations and used them for IEF there would be consequences.

im just saying, if Louder said he came up with the money to go somehow, borrowed it from someone or anything, how would they know we gave it.
Im not saying EG are the villains, quite frankly i dont see what they are playing at, they are already sending him to wcg, and im sure everyone understands that they cant cover every event out there, how is this putting them in a bad light? In my eyes not letting him go is worse publicity than not being able to send him themselves, these days its rare for a team to have any money to send players anywhere, I hope they understand how much sending someone to wcg finals means to the bw comunity, its no small thing. let the man go.

Sadly i agree.
As Louder said, nobody thinks their budget is unlimited.
Or a good budget at all, or lots of money at all in foreign starcraft.
The fans of E.G's team member Louder, fans of the team of E.G wants to help them.
And all they get is a hit with a baseball bat ,Worms Armageddon style.

I'm with these folks. EG's fucked for doing this. I hope they take the time to think about how this makes them look to the community.

so will EG pay for your flight? If so then what's the problem?

ok i see it, so louder needs tickets from chengdu to seoul and back? And he needs $500 for it?
|
EG paying for trip to Chengdu... the price difference of... US -> Korea -> China is $500 ... he got invited to IEF, so really wants to go (for obvious reasons)...
Point is, IEF player list needs to be confirmed by the end of today - and it was looking like we'd for sure be able to get the $500 needed... so when he asked EG, they said they literally wouldn't let him go if he accepted community donations. Then I guess they said that basically he needs to choose IEF or WCG and that he couldn't go to both - even if the community was (and is) willing to pay for the trip to IEF.
He basically got shafted by EG T__T!
|
Just playing devil's advocate here, but EG is paying for Louder to go to China which is pretty crazy seeing as there is no money to be made in starcraft so that is pretty cool. It is unfortunate though that they are being stubborn and not allowing him to take donations for IEG.
|
Is it out of the question to borrow the money or something? Family and relatives might be able to help out
|
T T im not even going to the DC lan becasue they dont want to send me .. atlest Louder gets a nice trip to china to smash faces!!
oh well ~
|
EG sends their dota team everywhere afaik
|
wtf jake ! i thought you were going ??? O_O!;

Sponsoring Louder's trip to WCG: Wow EG is pretty cool! Nice team
Not letting Louder raise $500 to also hit up IEF: Wow suddenly lost all respect for EG
Sums up my feelings.

TT i know.. sadly no one will listen.. 
the biggest truth about what u said.. a american will win the D.C Lan money.. when WCG and IEF we will get raped.. great experence but.. top koreans like bisu stork jaedong.. Going to be near impossible to top3 ^^

re: the last page of posts
I'm just really confused about how anyone thought that any of this makes sense.

depends the order you get your news i guess.
if you got the news the other way around it'd be:
Not letting Louder raise $500 to hit up IEF: Wow, no respect for EG
However, Sponsoring Louder's trip to WCG: Wow, EG is pretty cool! Nice team

Why doesn't Louder pay for it himself, take it out of the kids college fund or something?
Then the community donates $500 to Louder's kids college fund.
I... am a genius.

Louder has placed top 3 at every LAN he's ever played: WCG USA 08, US Open, WCG USA 09, DC LAN...
Obv it's not like he's gonna be winning IEF or WCG Grand Final, but he has a much better track record than most players, so he seems like a pretty attractive choice if you want to have a decent shot at placing well at an event.

I've just emailed all the people who donated - I will either refund the money or use it towards a community event, I will post after I have responses from each of the donors.

You're free to edit the original post if you want Xeris, although doing so will break the bigness of the red. You can MSN me if you want me to restore it or edit it and keep it that way.

Lol this is stupid, I mean it is dumb they can't pay for him, but louder made a good point, we don't expect them to send everyone everywhere. They already forked over a few thousand dollars but its really gay they won't let us send him if we want.
