+ Show Spoiler [Sponsors] +
Who sponsors this tournament? - This tournament is paid for by the ad revenue from the Showcraft livestreams and generous donations from the community during SHOUTcraft Invitational 3. Of special mention is Colin Smith, after whom this tournament is named, who has donated an outstanding amount of money to this series not once, but twice.
+ Show Spoiler [Solving the problem of meaningless mat…] +
SHOUTcraft has always been about both entertaining the audience with star-studded matches and giving back to our pros, so to deal with this issue we will be trialling a "bounty" system. Players who have no chance of advancing (which will occur if they lose have lost their first 2 BO3s) will qualify for a $50 comeback bounty, if they are able to win their final BO3.
