If price money is your way of attracting viewers or players, then going $100 -> $250 won't change a thing (or $1000 for that matter). People are not flying in from all over the world, or coming to earn money. 500SEK works well if it is just symbolic, and for a student it is still a nice bit of pocket change. Overall it was a nice event and I enjoyed it. Congratulations to Maddelisk. I think what he means is that the prize pool is not really coherent with the overall production quality. For a university tournament, it's extremely well produced : booths, animations for each players, members of The GD Studio casting on a real casting table, animation for the map picks, hosts, etc... We might expect a higher prize pool with all that. | ||

We did this with absolutely 0 budget and a lot of help from Komplett.se and QPAD – the prize pool was actually there just to get the tournament on Liquipedia ![]() | ||

And don't worry, it's not a criticism, it was really fun to watch. Congratulations for the organization and your casting is really cool ! Plus, 4000 viewers for a students tournament with only MaddeLisk as a well-known player is huge. | ||

Also we (as in me too!) got sweet trophies :D. | ||

But huge props to Qpad for supporting us and providing additional prizes. | ||
