Looks similar to the 1 Year anniversary tournament though but that is NOTHING to complain about. | ||

QFT. I honestly don't get the complaining about $5 for an entire tournament. I pay 3 times that amount on a subscription to watch Football matches. Hell actually going to a stadium costs me more money than I've ever spent on SC2. edit: I guess everything is relative, but I can't imagine $5 being much for something you enjoy watching. | ||

Where there's a will there's a way. "Mommy, can I borrow your credit card?" "What for son?" "I want to watch Koreans kill each other in videogames." "You're grounded." Were you never a kid or something? Getting your parents to pay for random shit on the internet is hardly an easy thing for many of them. | ||

Kids have it so easy these days... can't you go to a gas station and buy like a pre-paid $20 MasterCard or something... | ||

Even assuming that people who spend any sizable length of time watching Starcraft can afford $5 no problem doesn't mean that $5 is "nothing." People can spend their own money at their own discretion, and if they judge $5 to be an unreasonable price for a specific product, then that's their choice. | ||

Not sure how much Paypal's policy has changed, but I owned a paypal account at the age of 14 and was paying most of my stuff online with it. edit: No I was 15, I have it for 7 years now. Point still stands though, once a service accepts a method other than creditcard things get a lot easier to make purchases. Which is great, because that means kids at least aren't paying for their porn. | ||

In the US pretty-much every standard free checking account comes with a debit card that acts as a VISA card or a master card linked to your bank account. I think at 15 I had one, and that was 10 years ago. | ||

Were you never a kid or something? Getting your parents to pay for random shit on the internet is hardly an easy thing for many of them. How about "Mom, can you help me pay this $5 on the net so I can watch some entertaining professional games? Cut that from my monthly allowance/ I'll do the dishes some other chore not being done / I'll cut down on my youtube watching / I'll ace my next paper / etc etc etc." If the kid is mature enough to read through TL forums (not that much required), they can find a way to get $5 paid online for them. The average SC2 player is probably in their teens so they have every capacity to be resourceful in getting $5 paid over the net. It may not be as simple as adults taking out their wallets but don't make it sound like this is something incredibly difficult... | ||
