This is all great but the prize pool makes me sad given that it is TL organized.


I'm currently trying to increase it but I don't know who is in charge. With that said, TL, whoever is in charge of this event, please PM me. I'd like to sponsor this event and increase the prize pool!

Honestly, BigFan or Sayle should have just asked ppl for crowd funding or post a paypal link in this thread. Even 5 bucks from 100 people would give you 500. I will donate as well.

Series of 4 to start with from what I understand. I'm sure I read that in the OP, but I went and checked and it wasn't there. :s

Thanks for the offers of donations. I love seeing the enthusiasm and it's what I've could to expect from such an awesome community. However, we are not looking to supplement the prizepool at this moment.

Why are you turning down offers? What purpose does that serve? Your post is rather dismissive. It's not often people are willing to give away money with no strings attached.

haha ok,
i actually like that the prizepool gets the same but what about taking donations to keep making tourneys for a longer period ? this will help more than 1 tourney with a huge prizepool ,so i guess this answer my question that there are more tourneys planned not just one ?

At the moment we plan to hold four of these events, one for each Saturday this month.

How much of this will actually be cast?


It will be a live cast with two different streams/casting teams so we'll do as many games as we can.

Awesome tournament guys, I love the mappool with current maps, the commentators are great and the prizepool makes it attractive for the players to participate. The top foreign player's skills are pretty damn even and this makes a Scan-free tourny exciting. I'm really looking forward to it. Long live Brood War!

btw. I wonder if you guys got enough stamina to do those marathon-casts every week. If not, maybe a solution would be to just cast the higher rounds of the tournament; make the tournament start at 6pm but start the cast around 8pm or 9pm to cover ro16 up for example. its just an idea though

Indeed imo i feel it would be cool to see some hardworking bwplayer earn some money.

And if the prizepool gets large it will draw attention from many more players, i really hope they will let us donate

yes, you are right but times change so I thought it would be nice to have another tournament with a decent prize pool. I suspect crowd funding is difficult to organize. Thats probably why donations were not considered.

Another downside of donations is that it increases the expectancy of the following tournaments and would decrease their hype when the donations couldn't keep up.

But really, I hope that BW moves to a future where donations aren't even necessary (as they're not in this tournament).

Some posters have already stated some reasons why we aren't taking donations. The idea of donations came up during our internal discussions and this was the conclusion we reached in the end.

I think donations work well on big tours or one time events, re-occuring events don't work as well with donations.
