P.S. Anyway I won't buy these portraits. I won't play better if I equip some pro player's photo on my icon, and I don't see fun in wearing another REAL man's face as my avatar. I have bought announcers and co-op commander at once though. | ||

But you have to say 80% or 70% of proceeds go to players/tournaments. I can't just take it on faith. Really? I was expecting 5$ for each portrait since some of the money went to the player(s). | ||

It works for Valve because they do. As well, the more I think about it the more I can't find myself interested in it because of what I mentioned. Why would I buy something now if I don't receive it until after Blizzcon? Let me support my favorite player in attendance as he plays, not after he's won/lost. Edit: Also would you really expect to pay $90 for a portrait pack? I mean cmon man. | ||

Pretty sure he meant 5$/portrait as single buy, not a package deal at 5$/portrait * 16 =80$ | ||

Pretty poor value for $10 imo, considering what a Battle Pass for The International gets you (three custom cosmetics, taunts, weather effects, music packs, cursor pack, ward, emoticon pack, new courier, an HUD... Plus access to quests, community challenges, among many other things). Now compare that to 16 player portraits. Anyway, I wonder if they'll release sales figures... But I would have thought it'd be quite universally known by now that esports doesn't sell in these situations unless you provide in-game items that people can use. Stuff like custom unit skins or custom doodads, etc instead of a pure esports thing. Just comparing previous numbers of crowdfunding in Dota 2 tournaments with similar little to offer bundles... I'd expect this to be able to raise $50k-$200k, which probably 25%~ goes towards the players, so not big in the grand scheme of things, the money raised would do much better in any tournament that is not Blizzcon S:. Unfortunately seems like a little too late kind of thing. | ||
