We will stream the showmatches starting in early February until the end of April. 12 man round robin tournament with five-game format = 66 showmatches or 330 games! Each game win will be worth slightly more than $9, so a 5-0 victory will be worth around $50! Players won't stream their games so people will have to follow our stream (two stream events a week, each one showing 3 showmatches / 15 games. Stream events will be on Fridays starting at 20 CET and Saturdays - time to be announced, maybe North American time, maybe European (before BSL). $5 subscription per month = 110 replays! So $15 over 3 months will bring you 330 replays! All revenue will go to players. | ||

ox, as someone who is barely active in the community anymore, you seemed to come out of nowhere and kept pouring in hours upon hours of work into these projects, and I am glad that you have a chance to do something as epic as this. Tons of respect for your work. Big props to Rus_Brain as always for being an incredible asset to and member of the foreign community <3 | ||

Yes Rus_Brain is the man although he is too modest to take any credit. Our Bonyth vs Dewalt showmatch will be dedicated to him and his wonderful e-sports fund / team. <3 | ||

I am still waiting to get my hands on our new graphics before making an official announcement on TL and Reddit about our tour. But we have scheduled and planned our event for the next three months. Big thanks to MyFleetingDream for helping me. I can share some information now in case anyone is interested. So our stream days/times will be: Fridays (starting at 19:00 CET) and Saturdays (starting at 23:00 CET). We will start streaming tour showmatches on February 5 (Fri) and February 6 (Sat) and continue every Friday and Saturday thereafter until the end of April. On each stream day, we will show one live showmatch and two preplayed showmatches. We will have community casters and so unlike our regular showmatch series, casting will not be open to the public. I will be observing/streaming and sometimes "casting"/moderating as necessary. Each show match will be five-games long. At the current prize pool, every single game in a show match is worth $10, and so a five game showmatch is worth $50. If we stream 3 showmatches in one day, that means about $150 will be on the line. Money will be up for grabs from the very beginning of the tour all the way to the end. This is very different from leagues and other events where the semi finals and grand finals determine the prize winners. According to our model, every single game is worth an equal percentage of the total prize pool. Players will play their preplayed showmatches around the time they will be shown so they will be "fresh". There are a lot of pros when it comes to non-live showmatches. Players perform better due to less lag and anxiety/stress, and can arrange the showmatches according to their own schedules. Live matches are extremely difficult to organize and play when the streamer/observer, players, casters and audiences have different time zones and there is the issue of game lag, especially in certain match ups (e.g., TvZ). But we tried our best to schedule enough live showmatches for everyone's pleasure (about 22 live showmatches, which is 1/3rd of all (66) showmatches scheduled). Each month we will offer 110 replays for $5 Twitch subscriptions for three months (i.e., $5 for 110 replays in February, $5 for 110 replays in March and $5 for 110 replays in April). All money will go towards prize pool. Players won't stream their games so everyone will have to follow my official stream. As the prize pool increases, every single game won will be worth more. Since we pay out players at the very end of the tournament, it is likely each game won will be worth more than $10. For example, if we reach $5000 prize pool, each game win will be worth approximately $15 and each five-game showmatch will be worth $75 (!) Even if a player loses a showmatch, but wins one or more games, he will be compensated. Suffice to say, I am very proud of our innovative, interesting and equitable prize system and looking forward to seeing how it affects the performance and strategies of our players. Thanks for reading~ | ||
