Holy crap that's a massive prizepool compared to the standard. That's like the standard 1st place prize, which was the ONLY prize, is the third place prize.

You know anything about the sponsor? What is it?

Sky and a number of other players have them as their head sponsor on their streams.

Sick with the new prize pools. Going to be a whole lot of games to cover. Glad he's switched up the map pool a tiny bit too.

Still not a fan of how there's no break between semis and finals, or Ro8.

Can we get some word on how the twitch ad money contributes to Sonics activities?

The twitch money goes to sonic, sonic spends some of it on SRTs. I think some of it was spent bringing players to SSL as well but I'm not entirely sure. The income from snipealot2 helps sonic spend less of his own money(but he still spends a lot from what I understand) running tournaments.

The whole process is rather complicated, but here it is:

Step 1: I receive money from twitch on my korean registered paypal account
Step 2: I transfer an amount equal to 95% of the amount received to sonics bank account. This number is 95% due to paypal fees and currency fluctuations
Step 3: I transfer the money from my Korean paypal account to my Norwegian paypal account. This is done because of really really shitty rules by paypal korea where they won't accept my alien registration status(basically only Korean citizens can transfer money from a Korean paypal account to a Korean bank account)
Step 4: I transfer the money from my Norwegian paypal account to my Norwegian bank account

I've been told twitch has finally managed to change my partner registered paypal address though, so from next month I might be able to avoid getting hit by double paypal fees.

When is the next full-blown SSL? Were they happy with how the finals turned out for the last one?

I posted it earlier but Sonic has been in negotiation with a company for sponsoring.

Yesterday he posted an update about it how it's moving forward. He also talks about casters, I'm assuming Kim Carrier + LSW again. Also he is getting more help with organization, learned from SSL8 etc. The thing I was most interested in was that he has searched (or companies has shown interested, google translate doesn't make it clear here) for more than 400 companies.

현재 6.1일 결승 끝나고 난 이후로.
지금까지 스폰서 작업만 소닉TV 직원 및 저 포함. 총 400개가 넘는 업체를 선청해서 제안서를 넣었습니다.
그중 말이 잘 된곳들은 미팅을 계속 적으로 하고 있으며, 9차 스타리그 관련해서 질문 하시는분들이 많은데
무조건 진행 할겁니다.
8차때보다 좀더 화려한 엔트리와. 기술력이라던가 업그레이드 된 부분들이 많이 있습니다.
아직 미확정이지만. 추가 되는 해설진들과 캐스터 및. 여러분들이 생각하시는것보다 더 많은걸 준비하고 있으니 기대 해주시구요!
저번 7차가 12월 1일. 아이템베이 스폰 받은게 이번년 2월이었습니다. 총 3개월이 걸렸던거죠.
지금 8차 6.1결승이 끝난 이후로. 이제 한달 반 되어 갑니다.
정말 스폰서에 대한 답이 안나오면. 신발팜 사장님한테 어필하면 충분히 진행 될수 있는 부분 있으니. ㅋㅋ
걱정마시구.
지금 현재를 즐겨주시면 될것 같습니다.
감사합니다~!!^^

Here's a rough translation. The post suggests that he has sent proposals to all of those companies but hasn't specifically set up anything yet.

Presently, after the conclusion of the previous finals on June 1st, we have been meeting with potential sponsors for SonicTV. We have submitted proposals to over 400 companies. We are continuing to meet with the ones which are well-received. For the many people asking about the 9th Sonic Starleague, know that it will progress as planned.

Compared to the 8th league, the entries will be more impressive and the production values will be upgraded.

Although it is unconfirmed, we are also adding commentators and casters. We are preparing more things than you realize, so please wait for us!

The 7th SSL ended on December 1st, and the ItemBay sponsorship was set up this year in February. It took around three months. The 8th SSL ended on June 1st, so it has only been a month and a half. If we absolutely can't find a sponsor, we can always ask the Sinbalfarm president (keke).

Please don't worry and just enjoy the present.

Thank you~!!^^
