CS:GO team is complete bullshit right now and DotA 2 team(while it lasted) hasn't really performed that good either. Don't know about other teams but yeah, they gotta fix the existing teams before announcing a new one.
There could always be a TeamLiquid World of Tanks team. I think they don't have one in that yet.

You have to transfer a domain name ( website ) to namecheap in order to get into the pot of people that are able to win the contest.
Now call me crazy, but how many people do you think on TL ( all of them ) actually own his/her own website and are willing/able to transfer their sites.
In my opinion a bit far fetched marketing strategy there boys It seems pretty awesome to me that you can spend $3.98 and win a trip that's worth more than a few thousand dollars, no?
if you're advocating that it's a good idea to buy the service for a chance to win the prize, that's pretty fucking dubious. It's a nice bonus if you already need this service but to act like it's a good deal to just spend $4 just to enter the content for a chance to win a trip, well, yikes.

I don't understand. How can we get a dinner with Team Liquid's players when Team Liquid don't even have a dota team anymore?

I'm already a namecheap customer. Am I disqualified?

Are any of the coaching prizes transferable to starcraft? Or street fighter? I would love the chance to play with knuckledu or xian and get real help on a game I actually play.

I want to make a website called theworldisround.net, which is devoted to making fun of flat-earthers and circlejerking on the forums about how the world is clearly round.

Well, it's a lottery ticket with the extra bonus that you could use (or transfer) a domain name.
If you don't like lottery, then...
In these times where entering a """contest""" means retweeting + following a twitter account or sharing a facebook page.........

If I hadn't already re-registered my domain in the last week or so... It is tempting though

Niiiice! If you get 250 people from the site to buy new domains you've made up for the cost of the so called prize. Nice giveaway, no doubt about it!
This a very nice, a Borat approve! <- read in Borat's voice

Thank you! It seems like you care about the cost, so I'll shed some light on it:
DreamHack is a 3-day event where the hotels are very experience. You'd arrive the day before the tournaments and you'd be travelling home the day after, so you'd need 4 nights of hotel. The hotels at DreamHack are somewhere between $150-200 a night for anything that's remotely decent in the area that's not outside of the city. In addition, the ticket to DreamHack costs roughly $70 (it might be a little lower now that the dollar has become stronger), but in addition to that we'd get you access to hang out with us in backstage spaces, go on stage and whatnot. Lastly, depending on where in Europe you'd be from for this trip it could cost anything from $100 to $500. The average price I'd total up a little bit above what you're saying, and now you can times that by two due to us doing the exact same thing in the United States for the LCS. Now, that is one day shorter, but the hotels are also more pricey in Santa Monica.
Looking forward to meet whoever wins, will be great fun!

You got me wrong. I couldn't care less about the cost.
I however think it is shameful and disgraceful for enterprises with large incomes and most likely decent profit, like TL and this domain company, to make a lottery with the measly prize of USD 2000. I think it should have been done for free for all members of the site. I believe it would be a petter PR action. My logic is that TL is able to pay monthly salaries for those clowns on the CSGO team which are probably not less than USD5000 per month for a clown. So such a company should be able to give the community USD2000 for free and make good impression for itself instead of selling lottery tickets.
But that's none of my business I guess.

In all honesty, I like that you're defending the point, but trolls will be trolls and will never accept this anyways. No matter how much logic and effort you put into, people will just keep on disagreeing.
For me, this is actually the trigger to finally buy my own domain, since I have never put any effort into getting my own site.
Nice action!

You really think TL players earn 5k+ USD per month in salary?

he's probably basing it off the fact that skadoodle got a $20k signing bonus and of the rumors that TL players got a bonus
