It's always the low ranked players that no show. Because it clearly is about the money, saying its just because they want people to take it seriously is just public relations talk. | ||

It's always the low ranked players that no show. Maybe since they invited all of Kespa and ESF Koreans, even top NA GM's would think better of it when it comes to competing in a NA qualifier. | ||

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. It's not my $20 but because what MLG_Adam stated gives off the implication that he thinks we're all idiots . His justification is hardly any validation for the entry fee. If he had not said anything, I wouldnt have said anything at all and just told myself "cool, must have to do with casters/production fees etc". | ||

Many of the top tier pros from Korea came into stardom during highschool. If you have the time to practice SC2 enough to be world class then you probably don't have a job. So you really don't have any source of income unless your parents are generous. Keep in mind that Suppy said it took him 5 qualifiers to get into WCS last year, that's $100. Considering many college students don't have that kind of cash to blow on a video game pipe dream how many people do you think will give up after one or two qualifiers, or maybe not even try at all? | ||

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. It's not free because some people just want to go in there and play (they don't care if they win or not) against a pro player for fun. They don't take the tournament seriously and just want to fuck around and play against a famous player. MLG only wants you to enter if you legitimately think you have a chance of winning. The $20 is collateral (not sure if that's the right word) for idiots who don't take this seriously. Thy only want the best (people who actually think they can win) in their tourney, and it's entirely understandable to have an entry fee, since they have a limited number of qualifier spots. | ||

No, his reason is solid and used everywhere else in the world. Its called barrier to entry. Courts don't collect filing fees because it helps pay the staff, its to keep idiots from filing TROs every week and wasting the courts time. If they wanted money, they would charge more. | ||

Well alright. So... limiting the players to being Masters with # points or GM (I hardly think people who have invested such heavy time into the game would go off trolling on their chance for glory), and pocketing $20 if they do a no-show. Explain to me how wouldnt this create the same effect? | ||

Because then scrubs can still show up and not take it seriously. everyone does but unfortunately were not in a position to make any . i guess all we have to do is practice harder, right? Now you're getting it. | ||
