Big numbers attract sponsors and viewers. And keep in mind each team has 6-10 people on their main competitive roster. That's why you promote the 182k prize pool, and not numbers. But that 6-10 thing goes both ways, you'd be splitting 500$ 6-10 ways, which isn't really much. Better imo: 1st: 20k 2nd: 15k 3rd: 10k 4th: 5k 5-8: 2.5k 9-16: 1.5k 17-32: ~675$ If I did my math right, it comes out to about the same. And still, 20k would be at least 2k per person for first place, and that's assuming ten players. It's still definitely a large amount, and twice as many people are benefiting in this scenario. We're (hopefully) all college kids, I think more people should be benefiting than less, although obviously I don't decide this, and I do agree that a bigger first prize can certainly grab more viewers. But still, it's a very high end prize pool for an organization of college kids But I can definitely see why they'd do it. | ||

I know berkeley won, and Suppy only had two win two matches to do so. Korean universities are nothing to be feared. Respected, as much as we respect our North American colleagues, but they are not GSTL contenders we're talking about. As far as the second part, I think the big first prize is the big number to look at. You want to hype the finals with, 'competing for 40,000' which is essentially a GSL Code S first place finish. Big numbers big numbers big numbers. | ||

Same could go for America or Asia, although America would obviously be top two. But that's why I think different playoffs for each region make more sense, which would also bring the prize pool up to 100k plus or so. I 99k if you have three sets of "5-16" players and more if there are regional prizes for 3 + 4 place. Edit:tyvm xeris! | ||
