Yeah bro encouraging people to beat Revival has a negative consequence because it gives them an advantage over Revival. Clearly they will try harder than they otherwise would have. /sarcasm | ||

I actually had no idea that Nani could still not make it to Blizzcon but now I know. Nani's move has ensured that a match that was destined to be high pressure and well viewed will be higher pressure and even better viewed. Props to him. | ||

Personaly I think it's a great thing. We want the best matches possible and more incentative is only positive for getting better matches. Naniwa's own motivation for offering the bounty is completely irrelevant. That's why i say it doesn't make sense to have rules against it. You are free to offer how many incentitives you want .. as long as you don't "benefit" from it?? Or is it simply because naniwa got conflicting interests? So do the teams of the players in revivals group. But no one is giving away any money for free, there is always a calculated reward even if not monetary. I read through every post in this thread and from what i can see it's one idealist arguing against it.. and every form of competition with money as a motivation afaik. Well the world doesn't work like that and there's not even anything bad about it. There's no altruism anywhere but that doesn't mean caring about something/someone is less real simply because we get get something out of it which is the reason we care in the first place. | ||

Liquipedia has no groups so far and it should normally have it if they had already been announced. Personally I think it would be pretty unsportsmanlike from both Taeja himself and also Team Liquid (who should be able to make him play) if Taeja forfeited this match, seeing how much it still matters for other players. | ||

Clearly they will try harder than they otherwise would have. /sarcasm That's the worst argument yet. If it wouldn't make a difference, why would he offer the $500 to begin with? This is a gray area because the next step is someone in a similar situation like Revivals groupmates going and asking money from someone in Naniwas position. What if Select said, "make it 600", Nani says no and Select ends up losing? It's a very slippery slope and there should definitely be clear rules governing this kind of thing. What if in one of the other groups there's a similar situation, or next season? What if those players want money to have a "reason to try your best" as Nani puts it too? What if one of the players says "well fuck preparing for my other matches, I'll only focus on Revival now"? This is setting some kind of precedent that you should pay people to actually have them to their best. Bottom line, whenever you're offering bounties our 3rd party players start throwing money at groups to get results they want, you're in a gray area. We have to very carefully look at what IS and ISN'T ok. This is nothing more or less than paying people to take out your competition in tournaments. I'm not even saying this is wrong, but we certainly need to be very careful. Also, let's be very clear that this is different from adding money to the prizepool. All the players in a group should have equal incentive to play. It's not like Revival gets the money otherwise. That's a very clear distinction. | ||

And the counter-offer doesn't have to be anything like offering bounties for people to lose (obviously a big no no). But I would really like to see something more like announcing that EG will be paying Revival a per-match victory bounty. Naniwa pays $500 to anyone who can beat Revival, so EG counters by saying they will pay Revival per win. That would create some great hype; every game would be amazing. And if Revival puts together a string of victories, it creates a really awesome dynamic between Revival and Naniwa that transcends the games played. It would really create some fun and entertaining storylines. | ||
