You need to quit your job, live off of no money whatsoever (or hope you get laid off for those sick sick EI premiums) and then practice all day then HOPE you take a game off Nestea. Now all you need to do is bet Catz $200 dollars you take that game off Nestea and when it happens BAM you just earned yourself a couple weeks of Rice for Dinner High FIVE! | ||

Maybe that won't happen, but I prefer that events try to put systems in place to assure that only the people who give a shit sign up. That does not happen on their other cups and it will no way happen on this where a lot of high profile players sign in. | ||

That'll help everything! i don't get the complaining about $20. what the sc2 scene needs is to copy the poker tournament formats. 'buyins' for every event (micro-small-mid-high "stakes")... this way completely unknowns can grind it up from the bottom, building up a bankroll by winning micro/small buyin tournaments, playing with similiar skilled players (top pros wouldn't play in a 10-100 usd event obv). if you have the money you could play in any event. the rich noobs would be happy to play with the top pros, and the top pros would get the big money. you could move down in "stakes" if you have a bad streak, play smaller buyin events, etc... great for competition imo.  | ||

You don't think a bunch of dumb people from SC reddit won't sign up just to troll MLG? You really think that because some high level players sign up that will somehow decrease the chance of people trolling the qualifier bracket? | ||

If your scene/organizers takes these 5000 $ and run 50 region locked weekly cups with 100$ prize there you have your chance to strengthen your own scene. | ||

Could you be so kind as to explain to us what way there is to troll people? If you play shit or don't attend you're out after the first round of the tournament. So thats basically the whole case. And to prevent this MLG charges 20$...(or even more for multiple qualifiers?!) don't know what to think about it. | ||

While you are speculating, I am not "thinking something", but talk about things happening every week w/o any noteworthy problems. I don't think this discussions leads anywhere though. | ||

This keeps it to players who are willing to put down $20 to try, rather than any ass-hole who can figure out how to sign up to play with their gold league account. I don't think that's a big deal...I think mlg just wants to use that mlg credit thing. | ||

I don't think this discussions leads anywhere though. I see no problem with charging $20 to assure players are committed. It only benefits the event and if someone really cares, they will find $20. If they say "fuck it, thats to much money" then they didn't really care that much to begin with. | ||

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 their dream isn't even worth $20, then that's not much of a dream, is it? And this is exactly why the $20 is there. If you are dedicated and hardcore, you will do anything to shell out the $20 even if it means a week of ramen. | ||

They let their cups die and the major teams and orgs invested mostly the money abroad. Viewing culture promote "best play" (koreans) and fails to promote regional talent. That said, glgl to all participants I'll surely try to catch the broadcasts and will be VERY curious if they then show matches of LOCALS or KOREANS  | ||

It's a little greedy on MLGs end but i'd just think of it as supporting esports or something, no need to think of everything in a negative light the money would probably help fund more events etc | ||

Thats just such an unnecessary barrier of entry which hinders the development of an NA pro gaming scene. If trying to qualify is already connected to financial loss, i would just not participate. | ||
