Fun? Dota? What is the world coming to when people are starting to talk such nonsense.

That sounds hilarious though. Hopefully you decided to join the rest of them.

He has got to get that cash money.

And qualifiers are fine, but not ones with 20 games per team each. Want to qualify for 4 four events, that's 80 hours of work for you just to get paid.

The more I think about this the more annoyed I get. You know what people who complain about having to travel to a lan a month should try? Finding and staying at an employer who is willing to pay them 100k+ while requiring them to work no more than 40 hours a week. n_n

Try working 20 hours just to be have the option to work more and get paid, maybe. If we look at StarLadder and another events, its not like the money is a sure thing or appears instantly.

They (should) get salaries from the teams they represent though. Tournaments being shitty about paying out is a whole other issue. Especially since a big part of the money is directly being paid by the viewers these days, it shouldn't be that big of a problem.
Apart from that, I believe what you are talking about is called attending university. Especially in the USA and England.

The biggest problem for Starladder was that the viewers were paying out the money. And then they had the whole Ukraine crisis thing happen and all of a sudden money going into Ukraine was a lot harder to get than normal. That I think we can call a legit problem, but some of the other tournaments not paying out is due to the old Esports model of 'fund last tournament with next tournament's sponsor money.'

The point is that events are trying to get the largest number of matches out of the teams "add value" to their tickets(over 150 dota matches). They do this by making massive qualifiers, which are online and limit cost to the people running the event. The teams then have to deal with getting their players to play the +20, which the team does not get paid for.

Its less about PPD bitching about working for EG, and more about PPD bitching events trying to milk the team for matches that won't pay out. The event runner keeps the majority of the profits from the ticket, while passing on the rest to only the top placing teams. Everyone else "works for free".

But that's just how competitions work? You still give a lot of exposure to your sponsors, which is what they pay for. Tournaments being really topheavy is a PR thing, players definitely split the price pools, etc. It's common place and somewhat openly discussed in games such as poker. There also was a "scandal" about it back in SC2 and people basically went all ESPORTS.
