Official Announcement #7 We have received a donation from SethN, an NYC LAN #1 participant and longtime BW player, my former teammate on the Rutgers BW team! I would like to extend an enormous thank you to him for donating $500 to the prize pool! This brings us to a total of $1416.01 + buy-ins! We have now officially exceeded the base funding from NYC LAN #1! I can't be more thankful and proud of our community for coming together to make this tournament as hype as possible. What we anticipated six months ago to be a small get-together has blown all of our wildest expectations time and again. We have now closed pre-sign up and have informed the venue about how many computers we will be reserving. You are still more than welcome to sign up, but you may not be guaranteed a computer space on the tournament. However, the order in which you sign up will give you a higher priority for available computer space depending on who signs up first. Long live Brood War! | ||

Most likely the former and depending on how many groups there are. | ||

I don't think this is weird at all. It's not random! It's New York City! Jealous & Co have worked hard to grow the community and make people excited about the tournament. I for one am excited to see and compete with my local Brood War compatriots. I don't watch BSL though I'm sure the players are amazing! | ||

Biggest LAN tournament since WCG 2010 still needs around 1000$ so we can have it next year too.. and I'm talking about Corrupted Cup ofc | ||

That we give them the money we raised? Stop whining and get real lol. You just jelly. Anyway, that tournament is different from this one in many ways, no point in comparing the two. | ||

Official Announcement #8! ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/3Fd225t.png) We are again blessed and thankful to... A secret organization named... "Revival of Brood War" Which has generously donated $500! Out of this sum, 80%, or $400 will be added to the prize pool, bringing us to a total of... $1816.01 + buy-ins for the prize pool! Just as before with eSports.fund, the $100 will be going towards expense coverage - and any unspent funds will be distributed to the winners. We now have more funds set aside for expenses than for the previous tournament, but as this is our second time around, we expect to spend less - and thus put more into players' hands! We are very thankful to Revival of Brood War and all of our generous donors and sponsors! --- A more minor announcement is that I will unfortunately no longer be attending the event. I will be handing over all of the funds and assets that I have collected over the past half-year over the course of the next few weeks as we migrate my responsibilities to Tim and SuGo, both of whom are prepared to continue organizing this event. I want to thank all of you that have made this experience enjoyable, everyone who supported us as an organization and me personally in your messages, and everyone who, regardless of minor drama or disagreements, behaved in a way that exemplifies what our community could be. Thank you all. This is my last announcement! Stay tuned for a new thread for the tournament, coming soon! Cheers ♡ | ||
