That's good advice, you may end up having to go through a bunch of henchmen to get to the main villain. I'd say did 10-20 graves actually. Oh, and you are allowed to bet on your own team to win, it's betting on your own team to lose that is frowned upon. | ||

I hope Revival qualifies and then kick his ******* *** on Blizzcon, but it could be fun to watch if SoulKey can troll Nani better than Life did few weeks ago so I am not sure what could be funnier | ||

What fantasy world do you guys live in This has happened in professional football for at least the last 25 years lol. And its not just 500 bucks, but hundreds of thousands  Of course the teams do it hidden because it's a gray matter. | ||

I don't "think it's cute" like others have said, but I don't immediately see an issue. thought two: If Revival's opponents are (motivated by outside factors) to do better vs him do we have some harm? Maybe a little. Is there enough harm to call foul? No, players might already be focused on Revival without the bounty and/or it doesn't make enough of a difference that the rest of the games might suffer. Other random thoughts: - what if (for example) EG players had a contract clause that every time they beat a TL player they receive a bonus? - does it make a difference that Naniwa's bounty is designed FOR HIS BENEFIT? (what if it was Naniwa's fans putting up the bounty?) - how easily could rules against what he's doing be enforced? Overall... I don't have a problem with it. He's not betting or fixing a match. He's not putting up a harmful bounty. He's just being Naniwa. Also.. I hope Revival wins  Your first thought shouldn't be a concern, in sports players often get bonuses for winning a rivalry game. The second thought, it isn't uncommon for a pitcher in baseball to buy his fielder who made a brilliant play to save his no-hitter something nice and shiny. I've never heard of that practice being frowned upon Very easily, ban-hammer is like hitting the easy button. | ||

Plus he'll be at BlizzCon and get 0 prize money for it. :D | ||

 you need more reward um...maybe 5000$? or 10000$?"Nice that he has a sense of humor about it and can take it in stride. Honestly, now I really hope Revival wins anyway and we get a super hyped match against Naniwa. | ||

You can't bet on yourself because there is no way to prove that you aren't trying your best ie throwing the match. But betting on others is still okay. If I was a footballer I can bet on games not involving teams I'm on because I can't actually punt the match by virtue of not being on the field. Naniwa is offering a bounty to whoever beats Revival. It adds excitement since the stakes are raised. It adds story since he's calling out a desire for his "rival" to lose. And it will make their tie-breaker match deliciously fun to watch. Earlier in the thread map hacking was brought up, now homicide is being brought up. I'm honestly curious what other analogies will be brought up later to demonize a twitter joke... | ||
