On a related note, if it turns out that there is a viable structure in place, it would be good to have FPL back again. | ||

Not a lot of people are going to be to happy doing that when they can’t understand what the web page says.Hmm I guess I could do it but what would it be used for anyway? As for balloons I need to go register somewhere where there is no english and that's all hassle. Loads of things get cloud sourced today so it must be pretty simple to make a secure English language team Liquid donates fund. The problem would be firstly whether enough people are willing to donate to actually make a significant contribution for Sonic and secondly if for some reason it didn’t happen we probably wouldn’t be able to get money back. But I guess if that was the case the money could just go towards the next SRT/SSL. I wouldn’t be to unhappy with that.

People that aren’t say the top 20 players aren’t going to get many people on their streams and aren’t going to get many donations so probably will have a tougher time making a living from playing Broodwar. I guess there will all ways be amateurs coming through who play for fun and just want the chance to play against the famous players. But if they can’t make enough money to make a career from it then they’re not going to play enough to get up to the level. None of them need it. Bisu and Sea especially are earning big bucks on Afreeca. The way the old structure worked the teams where what ensured the new players could come through and get enough playing time. | ||

People could also just donate to the Snipealot twitch stream, who is already giving most of his donations (except equipment upgrades and maintenance) to Sonic via Paypal as I understand it. Donating money to Sonic is probably the easiest and best solution to support the Korean BW scene at the moment. | ||
