each win is $20. if its a 3-0 the winning team gets $60. if its 3-1 then 1 team will win $60 and the losing team will win $20. There is no subtraction. Hence a min of $60 given out.
ahhha, i didnt know that GaB was the abbreviation for guns n broaches when i watched them spam them in that 2v2 tourney, it just clicked for me and now im even more amused. i hope they spam it in this showmatch!

Would be funny if teams started to sell wins to share the 20$ for each game. D:

Lol yeah a 3-2 split would guarantee both teams $50 instead of a 3-0 where one team would get $60 and the other one $0

I don't understand why the cash prize distribution even matters from a spectator point of view... I just want to see fun, cool ass games and I'm going to love watching live with the team audio at the same time...
As long as the players think its worth the prize cash to do the event then i have no problems what so ever with the setup...

I know its sucks we had to postpone the GaB.Showmatch series but there are 3 big events that are going to be keeping Team.GaB busy... I added a "Good Events Coming Up" Calendar on the Main page of GaB Showmatch Web Site... I will always try to put the events i know that Destiny and MiniGun are in but sometimes i'll add events that i just like and willbe watching...
I am also going to keep the Voting Poll open for the 1st Map of the Showmatch until we have some new dates of the event...
