Seems like everyone is a loser here - fans, players, and NASL. I'm sure MC wouldn't mind a virtually guaranteed $20k-$40k. | ||

For instance, Boxer participating in a tournament generates interest which generates ad revenue (a lot more than NA and EU players). A 2000$ stipend may barely cover travel expenses if only economy options are taken. But what about paying them for their celebrity status? Famous people are payed large sums to make commencement speeches, to give you an example. You get what you pay for. $2000 doesn't pay for much these days. Thats why tournaments got something called a prize pool.... | ||

We cannot further esports by ourselves, we need to have the best competition at every single event we can. Those people make their living out of that. I think it's not the fact that they do not want to see esports grow, but mainly that they have to keep an eye on the financial aspect. There are financial interests involved, from all sides, and that surely doesn't make things easier. Sure, just doing things for the community is great, but you have to consider the fact that everyone of them is an individual person who needs food, a place to live and a future. It's easy to be a part of the community. You just have your normal job and life, and at evening you turn on your pc and watch a stream. That doesn't mean you deserve anything from them, because it's them who are investing their lifes, not you. | ||

A lot of people want to see the best players play against their home grown players. It's why foreign teams are signing NBA players for exorbitant sums during the lockout. The Turkish team that is signing Kobe pays him far more than what they pay their native Turkish players because their fans want to see the best. | ||

Offering a 1000 dollar travel stipend in addition to increasing the base prize would cover the travel costs and that's pretty fair. Giving additional benefits to the Koreans only would be very unfair to the rest of the players in the League. | ||

Nothing wrong per se, but there's a ton of people that thought Boxer@Anaheim was completely awesome. Personally, it would have been a significantly lesser tournament without him, from a entertainment/fan perspective. | ||

HuK who seems to be all over the world these days). there is more than enough sponsorship available, imo, its just they are not doing what they can to get these sponsors | ||

Look at the traffic between MLG Dallas and MLG Columbus. Then Look at MLG Anaheim. The traffic has gotten exponentially higher for subsequent MLGs and that's due to the Koreans/Boxer. | ||
