The prizes will be divided in a 40% / 25% / 15% / 10% manner, with the remaining 10% being split between the two players of the most entertaining game in the tournament. I like this change  The prize pool is almost hitting $600 US! | ||

This mindset is kind of why people like Sziky are justified in being upset. The donations are cool and all, but my donation money is going strictly to current players. If any of these players are bit by the BW bug and return then it'd be a great thing and more the reason for donating money at that point. Right now with the BW community so small it's a lot of the same people putting in money and it can't go to everything. To say it's an embarrassment comes off as rather disrespectful imo. | ||

Right now with the BW community so small it's a lot of the same people putting in money and it can't go to everything. To say it's an embarrassment comes off as rather disrespectful imo. It's a redundant argument. Any type of tournament (E-sports or other sports) gets a different type of exposure in terms of magnitude. If people are more interested in watching a tournament like this, it's only natural that the prizepool is bigger. Sponsors are the ones that increase the prizepool and more people watching means more exposure. In case of donations, any tournament organizer can ask for donations to make a prizepool bigger. The popularity of an event determines the prizepool which is honestly fine by me. Seems to me like some people that watch current BW (which is pretty much dead) are just jealous? Can't find any other reason to whine about the prizepool, which isn't even big atm. If you want to compare it to MMA for example, big known fighters get huge participation checks, even when they're past their prime. Youngsters who are much better now get way less. This is just how it works. I'm not at all interested in watching a BW tournament with current players whom I don't know at all. But this tournament is gonna be a lot of fun for me to watch (even if it is from VODs) because I've met, played with and am friends with several players in the tournament. Getting old players to play and giving them appropriate reward for it is a good thing. They are the pioneers of pro-gaming outside Korea after all. | ||
