The amount of money raised could also be a function of who is donating (ie., old school BWers who played during this era). I don't follow the foreign scene currently but was incredibly active when nearly all of these players were playing. That's precisely why I donated to this event and I imagine I'm not alone in that regard. And this is coming from the era where just getting a headset from SteelSeries or a mousepad from Qpad was a top 3 prize. But I think its also important to remember the BW scene had a lot of great eastern European players back in the day who made very little money with BW on top of their small wage (eg., Satanik, Gorky, Shaman, etc). I do like your final suggestion and would ove to see an 'active old school team' versus a 'new school team' on a combination of new/old maps. Get someone like Sayle to cast it and I would gladly throw some cash at that event.. | ||

Get someone like Sayle to cast it and I would gladly throw some cash at that event.. Old School vs New School. Sounds like a good tourney to me  Even in the TLS, the sort of tricky shenanigans old school players would throw at new school was always fun. | ||

Hell, I didn't know what was up with the Scan joke for awhile with all the secrecy surrounding the guy. Almost impossible to figure out correct usage of that moniker. | ||

Sziky is not really oldschool. At the time those players on the list were good, sziky was a low level player. | ||

Fact that he shouldnt play is right, since even inactive TechnicS would destroy this tournament. | ||
