Infinity Seven fighting! excited about Thundertoss casting and the iS team participating!
also excited for QXC's participation
Gwin ain't a bad caster, but i feel like he need some more research on some players (and/or help from co-caster to fill in the blanks), i noticed during the WCS qualifier match broadcast from beyond gaming he was not informed that "Goswser" is pronounced "Gosu User." other than that, i think this will be a good stage for him to improve as a caster
Oh I didn't know you pronounced it that way, good to know!

I just realized that there's actually a fee for spectators? That's kinda lame. Grassroots/community endeavors like this shouldn't be charging people, I think.
I don't think it's unreasonable at all. 15 bucks for 3 days is a good deal and most probably don't mind helping a tournament like this recoup its losses.

Hopefully there won't be losses. We do everything in our power to live within our means for the GESL. For esports to be sustainable, it has to wean off the angel investors and VC money sooner than later. HomeStory Cup demonstrated the possibility; Lone Star Clash perfected the formula; and now Iron Squid reaffirmed the market-space for mid-major events.
If all goes well - we put on a great show, people love it, and it's all done for (comparatively) very little money.

The spectator fees are used to pay for outrageous prices equipment rental cost.

I think it's fine to charge, since this is your bigger than normal grassroots event. It's the cali version of lonestar and they also charged.
Agreed with both posts.

As a team manager, one would think you should know just how much eSports can cost.
When organizing a tournament at a big multipurpose arena type setting in Southern California, with lots of equipment costs, lots of pros to accomodate, casters to pay for, and a staff to hire, one would be inclined to ask how they can afford it all with such a modest spectator fee. $15 is nothing.
