It's a smart move, considering top 8 qualify is already fucked up and random I'm glad not too many random people will participate with this fee in place  | ||

They want to weed out weaker players, they are using a "massive" (lol) 10 dollar fee as the means. As stated, if you have a problem with the fee you have no chance of winning. | ||

Someone needs an ass kicking. Absolutely 0 respect for the e-sports community. This is a giant kick in the face to Competitors. We make your tournament and you want us to pay you. I was really looking forward to this.. and out of principal i may not give in. I just thought that... maybe some of my games.. my contribution to playing in this tournament would be enough.. but apparently you want $10 as well. EDIT--Biggest copy paste fail ever. | ||

It's 10,000$ for a 1,500$ prize pool, if you consider the 500$ traveling refund for the winner.

I would like to hear your logical argument as to why they should not profit (or charge $10 for that matter) off the open bracket. It helps to weed out the players who do not necessarily think they stand a chance. They also need to pay the admins since organizing and running a 1024 person tourny does take people's time and I can assure you, is not enjoyable. Demanding 10$ because it give you a possible seed into the next season of the NASL and even a direct seed to the grand finals is alright, but arguing over the organization cost is stupid. Every tournament has organizatorial costs, but you don't see them hand out 10-15% of the entry fees they rake in. | ||

I hope this is a troll post... If not, I can't believe how egotistical you are being. They are giving everyone the privilege of participating in a 16 man tournament against some of the best players in the world for one of the biggest prize pools, and you feel entitled to be a part of it? How about you be thankful they are hosting it... or worst comes to worst just man up and pay the very insignificant amount of money. Can you seriously not spare 10 dollars? Just order water instead of soda the next few times you eat out... my god. Now that I am done typing all of that out... I'm pretty sure I actually responded to a troll, because that is just laughably ridiculous otherwise. | ||

I just don't see the reasoning for mandating a $10 fee when it could be out of 1024 people, single elimination. $10 for a chance of being eliminated after 1 series, along with essentially no return for second place if you happen to make it far. I simply don't see the justification in a $10 entrance fee for an open tournament like this. Maybe if it was 64 people max. Not 1024. Im sure somewhere in all this people have made these points, but 1) Top 8 get rewarded by qualifying for next NASL. So it isn't 1 out of 1024 who gets rewarded. 2) If you're at the level of skill we're talking about here, you don't talk about "chances are". Your destiny is in your hands. That's what a competition of this caliber is all about. 8 very good players will make it through this tournament. 3) 10$ limits who is going to enter. People who aren't good enough (me) won't enter if they have to pay, whereas why on earth WOULDN'T I give it a shot if it was free? They don't want 1024 competitors, that's just more work. Let the best play and the rest watch. 4) NASL makes money. Yay! 5) Seriously, it's TEN DOLLARS In what universe did people honestly think this would be free? | ||

Actually nvm i think this is awsome. ANd i really dont udnerstand people complaining about the $10 entry fee. ESPECIALLY the hypocritical people who say this "hurts" esports when you are the cheap ass who cant afford a $10 entrance fee... do you think you are helping esports? It costs money to run and host these events, how do people not realize these things? Esports is a business at the end of the day... They dont let u watch NBA, NFL, MLS, games for free.. why do u think that is? Cause they have bills to pay.... /cry | ||
