There's little to no chance for this to be somewhat serious, at least in the eyes of the mass. If you want any chance to realize your plans, you will need good partners and must form a network. Therefore gaining trust with key persons is of utmost importance. Since it's nearly impossible to do that within the Korean community, I'd try to reach out to reputable people with some kind of influence and start small at first. Learn to walk before you run. You'd probably be best off either funding ZZZero (BSL), Qikz (STPL), RUS_Brain (RCG, Jeez Weekly), Face (BWCL) or this guy from the Have At Yous, whose name I can't remember. The list isn't mutually exclusive and it doesn't need to be more than a few bucks to stress out that there is something. Then go from there. It's a quid pro quo and your approach to just jump in there with that kind of money promised sounds insane. Because, let's be frank, it is, even if you do have the money. On the outside chance that you are serious and do have the money, keep in mind we have had our fair share of impostors going around. Google for the mmm-Scheme of Heme or Eywa's hockey card magic. Just my few words to you speaking from 10+ years of working with some leagues, portals and servers. | ||

Rus_brain actually posted a financial report for RCG2019, detailing all these costs. It was around 14k for flying everyone out iirc. | ||

I was under the impression this person wanted ASL-like, which is multiple weeks leading big tournament. And while Rusbrain did a tournament, if you want a production crew, casters, etc. and to fly everyone to korea, it's probably much different. It's possible to hold a tournament at a LAN cafe where everyone pays for their time and the LAN cafe donates some redbull and TO barely spends money, but that's not really fitting for a $100,000 tournament. Flying everyone out is also, one of many costs. Flying, hotels, food (stipends), parties, an arena or studio costs (which also adds on all of the staff for that, you can't just have volunteers), staff organizers (all the same costs, again, but probably for cheap, even with labor being volunteer).... operational costs of a tournament in a place get very expensive. | ||

Well his last post was only yesterday so, maybe a bit early to say he stopped posting? If it's a troll or not, whatever but i would say if it's a real suggestion : Dude do a few tournies with $1000 or so winning prize to build up your name, reputation and experience.Don't go giving away $100k in a tourney without any hosting experience lol. | ||

You started doing things when I stopped doing things. To be fair, I wouldn't know who Qikz was, if his league and the BWCL beta would not have collided by accident, doesn't mean disrespect or anything. I hope I have not started a "this Have At You guy" trend, I swear I can come up with more stupid nick names. | ||
