I was not aware the Defense paid out for wins in frequent flyer miles. | ||

I could personally pay for KP to go. But what do they get out of it? Not enough to make it worth it and it means you have to pay for everyone. You can't just say 'Fnatic, pay for your flights because you guys run a real business' and then 'KP, we'll pay for you because you can't start acting like responsible adults for long enough to find a sponsor'. | ||

We can't 'afford' everything. If I was able to I would give out $5 billion and have every team in the world attend. I would also have a hover craft shuttle me from the hotel to the venue. | ||

I was not aware the Defense paid out for wins in frequent flyer miles. Kaipi will likely announce having a sponsor very soon, as others said in this thread they wouldn't be allowed to play in Starladder if they couldn't prove they can make it to the LAN finals. Maybe waiting to finalize their roster before doing so. Kaipi isn't gonna be MLG's first choice of a foreign team to invite but getting Chinese teams to these events isn't easy. | ||

Is this like a version of the hyperloop, or will the Chinese teams be traveling by orbital cannon? #myfutureisbetter | ||
