Shakuras produced the epic finale to the best series in SC2 history between DRG and MMA. However Calm before the Storm and Terminus are both awful. The former is basically an enforced 15 minute no rush snooze fest while the later has some disgusting positional imbalance given certain spawn positions. EDIT: I also like the point bought up that inviting 12 players or whatever then just handing them atleast $1000 when they can lose every game they play is... a bit poor. On the one hand I like the idea of not having an incredibly top heavy prize pool and spreading it out a bit more but on the other getting a grand for potentially not winning one map... hmm, easy money i guess. Pvp is broken on Tal Darim (at a professional level obv). For that sole reason it should be removed. Shakura's small choke in the middle favors terran too much in tvz. There is also only one attack path (by ground). | ||

I think a more balanced and spread out prize-pool that still rewards those who do well but don't get 1st place is much better. Please IGN restructure your prize pool before the event Rewarding people for actually winning sounds like a good idea in competitive gaming I think. | ||

Please IGN restructure your prize pool before the event It has always been my goal to reward people for both their time in coming to our events as well as for succeeding. I believe this prize structure does that as well as creates a large incentive for placing 1st. | ||

I agree, but if I'm a player who plays through group play, and then through the bracket slaying other players, and then get a crap matchup like zvz and there's 24K on the line? Thats a bit absurd. Sure, the winner should be rewarded, but that type of money is really heavy. I think in a smaller tournament that type of percentage would work, but for a weekend long event it seems pretty nuts. | ||

I know you're not trolling, but you should know that most people would consider that to be "match fixing." At best that's disingenous, at worst it's out right cheating. | ||

Here's hoping it will be at one of the MGM properties... (I bet one of the Harrahs properties though  ) Haven't been to Vegas in a few months, and this makes it well worth it. | ||
