And no trophy? I mean, come on! I don't know if anyone here watches motocross/supercross, but the Lites class (125cc, 250f) where the younger guys work their way into a decent sponsorship still rewards a damn big trophy and a respectable purse for the top finishers. There needs to be more incentive to win Code A, otherwise people will just put in enough effort to get to the Up/Down and then drop their effort (and subsequent entertainment value of the match) towards the finals. | ||

The problem is that if you let the winner of Code A get the spot of the worst Code S player, you will have to figure out who exactly the worst Code S player is. Therefore imho the current system is fine. I do however agree that the Code A should get more recognition in the form of more prize money and a trophy. | ||

Code A needs more prize money though - to encourage people from outside Korea to take the plunge and go to Korea there needs to be some serious incentive.. | ||

No trophy, no seeding into Code S, no recognition. Like, there is no motivation for getting first place. The final of Code A is about as consequential as the final of WCG Korea, in which the champion gets only bragging rights. If Code A winner got bigger prizes than Code S last placing players, then those "bad" players might want to lose on purpose on Code S, to gain the possibility of rolling Code A players and have a better chance at winning the prize than on Code S, this would completely mess up the system, so I agree with what they're doing, even if it IS kinda sad. Or even WORSE, once I win Code A, I'll lose on purpose on the up and down matches, and roll the Code A all over again, sounds awful. Maybe a trophy though, for some emotional value. | ||

Technically (going by points, obviously it's not the same in practice right now) the bottom Code S player should be better than the top Code A player. If you combine the two codes into one then the top Code A player would be 33rd overall. Looking at it this way, it's perfectly understandable why ogsJookto would get the same prize money as ogsTOP. Although I can also see the other side, given that Jookto played only 2 games to be eliminated and receive his prize money, whereas TOP had to play several sets against different players in order to receive his. | ||

Win code A = 1k, but you also get a near-free ticket to get into code S which is MINIMUM 1k each season. | ||
