Okay, but my point is that teamkills can be weird, especially with the mindgames involved, and that it's impossible to determine why he decided to go 1-base carriers, which is normally the dumbest thing to do ever. Even though I think Fenix is more to blame than TT1 in this situation, I must remind you that it is TT1 himself that insisted on the fact that he used a 1-base carrier stategy in that game -- it was in fact one of his arguments. Which can only mean that he considers that he didn't played that game seriously. | ||

Because that would mean Nestea basically donated $30K to Losira in order to keep the peace O.O | ||

However, assuming this is against tournament rules, there's a reason it's against the rules and players run the risk of losing the prize money altogether, let alone being dropped by their sponsors and / or team, if caught. I think the solution is for the tournaments to readjust the allocation of the prize money so that it's not so top heavy. However, they use the size of the 1st place prize to promote the tournament, so there's only so far they can go. | ||

I don't think games should be thrown but I think deal making is 100% fine If it truly made no difference and players still played at 110% then yeah, I wouldn't have a problem with it at all. It's just tough for me to believe that every player who made deals would try as hard as if they hadn't made a deal. I mean somewhere in the back of your head, if you know you're going to make an extra thousand bucks for the win then I would imagine you're going to play a little bit harder. I could be way off base as you're the pro here and I definitely respect your opinion. Oh and I'm a big fan, love your work!!! | ||

Actually, looking back through the quotes, you're the one who brought up TT1/Fenix in this particular singular discussion that arose out of Kaitlin's comment. | ||

Because that would mean Nestea basically donated $30K to Losira in order to keep the peace O.O It wouldn't surprise me. Only a few seconds after being completely crushed 4-0, Losira was all smiles. So either they split or Losira takes an ass beating better than anyone I've ever seen. | ||

I guess the story doesn't add to the argument, but it is related and may be part of the reason I definitely have no problem with this. | ||

I don't think NesTea would chop with Losira, mostly because NesTea was the heavy favorite and Losira didn't really have a chance. However, it wouldn't surprise me at all if MVP and NesTea made a deal to split 60/40 or 55/45 at the Blizzcon finals if they both get there. | ||

In the U.S. at least, how does this prize money splitting work out in the way of taxes? Expect the tournament to report the total amount of the prize winnings for first place as being paid to the first place player. If winner's tax return doesn't report the amount of income reported to the IRS by the tournament, they get IRS to deal with. Those who think there is no way to prove it can pay attention to this. | ||
