Dumbest thing I've read all day. And I've been browsing the internet for a few hours now.

Seems practical. Unless you dont want to admit that youre wanting to profit off of this. Don't be a clown, MGL does not need to $5000 they would get from those players in any way. If you don't want to risk your $20, don't play. If you invested the time to get that good, back it up with $20. If not, move on and let someone who cares try out. | ||

Errr... then what's the problem of giving the money back to the players that show up then? | ||

I'm a casual watcher, I havent even touched HoTS outside of playing campaign and few custosm on my friends copy. If, according to MLG_Adam, that is the sole reason, wouldnt it be beneficial for my method rather than pocketing a cool $20 with the reason being "its incase they no show and dont take the tournament seriously"? If they have other justifiable reasons to charge the $20, then they should state it rather than giving off a poor reason or not say anything at all. By what you state, I still dont see why my idea isnt impractical. Enlighten me. | ||

Will GSL qualifiers are free. They don't charge people 20$ to attempt to qualify. They make a limit of points in masters to even be able to sign up. | ||

He gave a reason and entry fees are nothing new. Everyone charges them for everything. As I stated before, my local pick up, armature lacrosse league charges $35 and the prize pool is $250 per person. The prize pool comes from sponsors(a local pizza chain and some other stuff). If people aren't invested enough to pay $20, then they didn't need to compete anyways. | ||

If you have any shot of getting through qualifiers, you have $20 to spare. | ||
