Any ways hoping for some good games, at least the players point towards that being exactly the case.
He's not getting paid for any other tournaments he casts so I wouldnt exactly call that "abusing"

Not trying to downgrade this tour or Razer but there were already tournaments for SC2beta with much larger prize. But yeah, it's greaaaat that Razer jumped on SC2beta tour-wagon! Big news, indeed.

I really appreciate all the things that Day[9] has done for the starcraft community. I think it's sad if he doesn't get paid for commentating in these bigger tournaments. Does anyone know if I can donate money to him somehow?
Really excited about this tournament! ^^

yeah really : / (the grid looks super strong tho)

well it was the choice of organizers to make it last a month. If it was a one day even the prize size would look less odd.
But who knows maybe it turn into a regular thing with prize money growing largely slowly=))

badass, cant wait to see dimaga in action

Prize money is almost shameful. They don't even match half of Hello-Goodbye's community raised $1100+. 400 euro = $540

I don't quite get your logic.... Putting up over $500 is still pretty good. Seems like everybody wins imo. Players, fans, and razer gets publicity.

You actually can check the Day 9 daily thread I think it should be in there or pm him ^^.

The best players taken IMO! Very nice :D can't wait for this.
Gogo HasuObs !!! <3

Exciting! And yeah we should sort some kind of payment for day9. That guy delivers bigtime!
|
concidering we are still in Beta, i think the prize money is fair, besides they will grow when the game comes out

well he should be getting paid imo. hes more important than the players because he attracts viewers more than anyone and isnt that what its all about?

It's not about the prize money, it's about the name. ESL is a TV station that broadcasts games (comparable to OGN or MBC in Korea), Hello Goodbye is a community driven tournament, and Zotac cups are sponsored by gfx card company. Razer is a huge step for SC2.
Once Gillette, Adidas,Coca Cola and similar ( not PC oriented company's) get into the sponsor list, then you could start calling it esports. Razer is a on a good step to that objective.

hmm, interesting. Looks like only some of the group matches will be shoutcasted, but i guess i can live with that. Is there any drug we can give day9 so he just constantly comments sc2 24/7?^^

As you can see it's not like I disagree with you about that...
I was just saying that abuse is a bit of a strong word

I really hope White-Ra finishes first in group C. The groups were probably made at random but couldn't they have built a safety that whenever there are 2 people from the same country already in a group it isn't possible to have more? One group with 3 Swedes is a bit much for something like this don't you think?
