lol silly setup for an event. Last player is garanteed to play a single game for $100. 3rd last etc however have practically zero chance to win longest streak and need to win 3 games in a row to win last play standing.
Being first also sucks as there is a much higher chance the longest streak you set will be broken, if you are somewhere in the middle you can basically know for certain how many games are needed to have the longest streak (1 more then players left). As a result being in the middle or being last is definately favored moneywise over the other spots.

So what would be the point of going last if there was no chance to win anything?

Im sad for MKP, the won 4 matches, Vines 1, and Vines got 100Dollar

lol.

Would rly change the format, like:

"Each Win 10 Dollar"
"Last man standing 100 Dollar"
"Longest streak 100 Dollar"

Each win also gets you points to participate in our $20,000 LAN KOTH. So MKP > Vines in that situation

Err the second part makes no sense whatsoever but as for the first part Sure last place has no chance at winning the streak but 3rd last actually does have a chance because most of the previou events saw a win streak of 3 take home the prize. Being 3rd last also means you could play 3 Bo1 games for $100 you won't find much better return for your time investment in any other tournament.

$10 is barely worth the trouble of getting their paypal info. As Unstable mentioned MKP will pick up a lot of points towards the $20,000 KOTH for this effort and seeing it's his first attempt if he can repeat it if he comes back for a 2nd or 3rd run he will be in a strong position to get an invite to that event.
