If does, Naniwa and Revival play a tiebreaker vs each other and the winner goes to Blizzcon and automatically gets $5,000 for attending, more for winning. Naniwa offering money to the player who knocks revival out of IEM. | ||

I don't have a fix for it off the top of my head but I am just saying the format blizzard has made has resulted in this situation. Therefore I think Naniwa has every right on his own to offer an incentive for players in Revivals group to play. | ||

And since Taeja reportedly forfeited that group, well... | ||

No, I'm asking if it sounds like a good idea ![]() I don't mind the system (confusing, but whatever) what I do mind is payout distribution. Enough money needs to flow to the lower brackets so that it doesn't feel like a waste without gimping the top of the bracket too much to make the competition feel like its not real. So, for example, if you get $100 for every game you win, you'll fight hard for at least a 2:1 when faced off against a tough opponent. But if you end up stuck in Code B you still at least try hard every single map despite knowing you can't go to Blizzcon. Payout system changes once you get out of the qualifier/challenger of course, but I was asking the thread in general if that would be a fair way of getting money to the amateurs. | ||

Pretty sure its only if Revival comes in first in the group, I definitely could be wrong though EDIT: I am wrong, didn't realize liquipedia separated 9th-16th and 17th-24th and even though they give the same amount of points | ||
