The teams are really being unrealistic and borderline disgusting.

Stuff like this is so stupid that it doesn't even bother me because i just think that the organizers are going to get punished for their own stupidity very very soon.

Well if there was a misunderstanding between the teams and the ESWC, it might be cleared quickly. ESWC committee dropped the attendance fee today. Now teams have no excuses anymore...

no excuses except the $170,000 owed from the 08/09 season?

I think this also has something to do with ESWC not paying the winning players. I remember some WC3 teams boycotted ESWC last year for that reason.

well, MLG charges ppl and you can buy your way in so I don't see to much of a difference. Sure this is more extreme and I say I also disagree but why has no1 been complaining about MLG? $70 is pretty steep for $5000. which is a fraction of what the total entry money adds up to be.
overall tho, glad to see these teams boycotting :-)

Because ESWC didn't pay price money in the past, went bankrupt, came back LAST YEAR and 1 year later wanted to charge people an entry fee.
MLG has been consistent on all fronts.
When you have a good history people will pay for your product.
When you don't people question it.

That is not the reason that the teams gave to explain their boycott. Indeed, unlike you, they are aware of the fact that the company which currently use the brand ESWC is not the company that went bankrupt a few years ago, leaving the prize unpaid.

It's part of the reason. They know ESWC is under new management, but the fact that they essentially are trying to buy the brand and everything good that comes with it (name recognition, fame, fond memories, etc), while ignoring the huge failure to pay out winners is something that cannot go unnoticed.
ESWC is under new management, and if that management wishes to continue to use ESWC's legacy as marketing, they should pay out those who were wronged. They're not legally obligated to, but it wouldn't hurt.

I still think the entrance fee is a sham. It's more than double the next highest and its giving others a chance to compete*
*If they're willing to pay
Stupid. (And yes I read the whole thread and the link to the official explanation.)

hah, i am fully aware that the company was bought, if you care, listen to the lo3 from a few weeks back where they talk about the whole thing, also they talked about eswc coming back on an episode about a year ago and about how they would have nothing to do with it until past dues were paid.

So Steve Jobs could buy the 1st place?

Yes!!! I can finally make it to the grand finals of big tourny!!!! I should just pay for first because im only diamond league but it's still nice to know that i can get a major unfair advantage by just spending some money... This seems like those Korean games that are Free to play but have a store where you spend real money to negate having to try or learn anything!.. This will be really cool for me but the only thing im not looking forward too is not being able to see some of the best players in the world.. Just diamond kids like me with money 
|
Don't you guys read? You need to APPLY first in order to get the option to play for 200$. They will take into account your past accomplishments online and on LANs. And NO you diamond guy couldn't buy your way into this tournament even with 2000$

Still arguing over something that was returned to its normal status today. You guys are pathetic and quite frankly, you should read more before talking like know-it-all.

Wow, really? You're pulling that card?
It's borderline disgusting because they're manipulating what the community sees and are deliberately trying to paint the organizers as the bad guys when they're ultimately not doing anything wrong.
Free speech is one thing...trying to slander an organization is entirely different.

I completely agree. IF they want to trash on ESWC because the previous managers didn't pay the winners - that's one thing. Obviously they have their bones to pick. But to basically say "Hey they are buying out slots to undeserving players" is slanderous. It's just not true - It's dishonest.
