Just specify only "level 5-10" players on BNet or some other qualifier and you're done. I'm sure the dev team would give us that option if considering it. yeah if this would be for money ;P just don't let to enter guys without big enough amount of games played. If prizes would be small enough there wouldn't be much ppl wanting to create stats of 300-500? games to win 25-100$ and even after that they can be banned from such a weaker tournaments as being "too good"  | ||

No one should pay for entering a tournament, that is proven to be downhill of every sport, game, league, whatever. Sponsors are what provide money for leagues and in return they get big coverage. In huge costly sports we see sponsors and tickets since they are such an expensive sports. We don't see players paying or clubs paying do we? Then we have governing bodies that act as the brain of any sport, say fifa, uefa and they get their money from TV licenses and sponsors. As far as things like WWI go its obvious the money taken from tickets go to tournament winners, so it can be sustainable, otherwise its written doom all over it. | ||

You are going to try to play tournaments with weak opponents that are stupid enough to enter a pay tournament in which they are outclassed. People are going to be sandbagging. People are only going to play for money. The strongest people should play vs each other and they should win the money from a third party. There is going to be so much abuse. The top players are going to form a cartel. They enter one at a time into one of those tournaments so they have a free win and don't steal money from each other. Stuff like that. It's so obvious. Do you want Starcraft 2 to be a sport or not? It's not entertainment which you pay for. It's not supposed to be gambling either. Do you want it to be like Formula 1 where people have to buy a seat in a car? Otherwise, it's not just a zero sum game. You mention a rake. People are going to lose money overall from playing Starcraft 2. That's bad. There should be money to be won. Not money to be lost. Esports should copy chess, not poker. Stop crying, if you don't think you can win: don't enter. Leave the money games to the big boys. | ||

As far as things like WWI go its obvious the money taken from tickets go to tournament winners, so it can be sustainable, otherwise its written doom all over it. You make no sense. People paying to enter a tournament has pretty much never been the downfall of anything to my knowledge, so you should really back that up with some sources. Sports become huge and costly usually because of things like travel, needing large venues since they attract a large amount of interest, needing good equipment, etc. Anything you can play online doesn't have those associated costs, so they don't need sponsors. If all sports and games could have "sit'n'go" type tournaments like FA described, it would very likely trigger a major advancement in the skill of all of them, since it allows A) more people to play, B) more games to occur, C) easier access to large groups of players, and D) easier aquisition of incentives for winning. When you rely on sponsors to generate money for tournaments, you severely limit the amount of paying tournaments availible. Without the money incentive, player skill advancement tends to slow and there are very few venues for them to accurately test their skill against others with the added pressure you get from playing in tournaments. I'm sorry, but all of you complaining about FA's suggestions have yet to bring up any good reasons for not having it. If you don't want to spend money, or to have your money taken by better players, then stick to the free tourneys they could easily offer right alongside the paid ones. | ||
