Tournaments should just stack packets of dollar bills on the podium instead of the trophy for the players to take them immediately after their elimination or victory. Problem solved.


Red Bull used to do this. WEC in China in 2014 did as well, when EG won they gave them a suitcase with 100k in it and said good luck. It didn't make it past customs.

Wait, what, the customs just took the money and that was it? Or they just had to declare it?

No idea. You can't bring more than 20000 CNY (~3k USD) in cash in and out of China without doing some declaration stuff I have no idea how works. I attended WEC (the event with the infamous EG suitcase) and didn't know about this, so in order to prevent having to deal with customs/possible confiscations or unexpected problems I ended up handing over ~$13k usd in cash to a tournament admin for bank transfer later. Carrying that much cash alone is pretty scary, trusting a stranger with that much cash is scary, and waiting 3 months for the tournament to pay out through bank transfer is also scary. Cash is just annoying, either you need to know in advance how certain customs procedures work and also sometimes banks are just closed due to national holidays so even if you win cash you might not be able to deposit it for a while

I just hope they don't screw up the event like last time.
