The dream would be if they re-expand to Ro24 or somehow allow for a tiny bit of new blood so that the scene can stay interesting for a long time Ultimately the prize money and re-expanding is more critical for the medium/long-term prospects of the tournament, over having it in studio, at least for me. Seeing some fresh blood able to break through, as well as an incentive for our old favourites to stick around will go further in keeping interested eyes on it, and donating to Patreons Of course the ideal is to do both. Would have been nice if Blizzard had kept up some content like Warchests to help monetise tournaments too, but top level SC is still one of my favourite watches so effectively paying for it is a pretty good value proposition, and maybe one that could have been investigated earlier | ||

I think it was said at some point that the donated money will go to prize pool, but capping at 30k per season. But in term of the details, like if ALL the money will go to the prizepool or there will be a split, or what if the total is more than 90k for this year, ect. hasnt been confirmed yet. | ||

Wait, only $30k bonus per season?? Or is it $30k total max for 1st place? I get they may want to conserve money for future seasons and not use it all up, but the cap should probably be whatever brings the prize pool very close to what it was in 2022. | ||

I believe I heard its 30k total for each season, at least that what the current plan. I think they do the rough estimate on the current number, projected for the rest of the year and come up with this split. | ||

It used to be about 125k per season in total, and this season was 25k. So it would need about 300k of Patreon money per year, and we had about 100k so far? | ||
