You are not playing the tournament and I'm pretty sure the players would prefer a more even distribution and more chances at money. The prizepool and its distribution should not matter to spectators.

Obviously I'm not playing the tournament. The prize pool is obviously a matter to spectators. Production value matters, of course, but a $100,000 has more on the line than, say, a $1000 tournament and to me, the common spectator who I guess you guys are trying to appeal to, the higher the prize pool the higher the stakes, and the higher the excitement form e.

If players prefer a more even distribution why don't you just give them $2000 each and let them play some games then be on their way? I know you want some exciting show matches but that's just how I feel.

better players = better competition = more excitement. If there are nice games most of people won't care about prize pool. Take a look at MLG, they give 5k$ to the winner and they still have great tournaments

I am trying to figure out how anyone could think that saying what you just said is reasonable.

"Why don't you just give everyone $2000 each", oh I dunno, maybe because money is a pretty fucking good motivation for competitive gaming?

Also, if you look at how the tournament + showmatch ended..
$7k for Idra
$3k for SeleCT
$2k for White-Ra
$1k for Dimaga, Elfi and SjoW.
Only Huk and Ret went home without prize money.
When it comes to prize distribution in tournaments... that's pretty good!

I REALLY enjoyed the show matches, the banted in the Idra vs Huk and even at the end with dAppollo was pretty sweet. Hope more tournaments do this kind of setup. Excellent showing.
