We invited Naniwa, were told he'd be in Korea at that time :[ Sounds like plans might have changed in the meantime. Perhaps I should just organise some kind of Naniwa-themed event as well XD

Hey hey hey now! My invite for Naniwa was one of the 1st to go out. Was responded to with the Korea excuse. I hear all pros are dodging my invites because of Nerchio <3 jk. I guess I should stop emailing invites to managers and go to the players themselves.

I thought I was following tourney ettiquette.

Good stuff TB.

Nerchio is a player I want to see more of. Heard hes pretty impressive but havent seen his play to much.

Cheers TB for this. And out of curiosity (if you're allowed to say), how many invites were sent out so far?

Also, obligatory fanboyism of "You should totally invite Spanishiwa" (assuming you haven't)

Prize distribution - This time, everyone is getting paid.

First Place - $1000
Second Place - $600
Third Place - $400
Fourth Place - $200

Knocked out in RO8 - $100

The philosophy of the SHOUTcraft Invitational is let's be honest, dirty stinking communist. It's about the redistribution of wealth. I take the streaming money from my gold league nonsense and redistribute it to players that don't suck. In keeping with that philosophy, I believe every pro should get paid for their time and as with the previous tournament, they will be paid promptly, not 6 months later.

I want to second this, and I am happy that you and the IPL have focused on having a sane prize money distribution. I am surprised that the horrible prize structure in for example GSL have gotten so little criticism.

Not a huge fan of getting $100 for getting knocked out (the jump from being knocked out in the RO8 to 4th place being the same amount as simply showing up is a bit odd), but I am a huge fan of totalbiscuit being an absolute baller. You rule sir.

They are not getting paid for being knocked out, they are paid for their time and for entertaining us, its their job

. Also being 4th means winning only one Bo5, so it's not so much bigger achievement than showing up in my eyes. I really like this distribution of prize pool. Looking forward to the tournament!

Wish I could but they are all in Korea and scheduling it is impossible :[ That's the problem with live events across 3 continents all in very different timezones.

if they are all unavailable you can invite grubby and drewbie as protoss
