Early bird entry is $20. Referal u get $5 off every referal. Were not looking to take a profit. We are trying to grow the e-sports and make a name for ourselves.

We have pro caster coming in. With pros soon to be announced participating. Also live streaming the finals. So there's a lot to do especially without sponsers.

not every one in Toronto play starcraft. SC players around Ontario who can afford the entry fee are mostly university students and have to pay travel fees themselves to go to big LAN events and such.
30 bucks means that we have to double all of our expense in the past O_O...

Great prize pool but i dont think most people play for money....

It's a thousand dollars in prize money...

30 isn't a lot of ask for a shot at it, couple of beers and burger? or sc2 turny. But I can understand the hesitation

but I will say the sweet spot is prob 10-15$ imho

How do you think you'll get to that level? By staying at home until "you're ready"? Honestly if you care about being good you should take your beatings, thats how competitive gaming goes, you don't just enter a tourney and "get it" even the first place guy got his rapings at one point.

Will be there with bells on

gotta love having a tournament run 5 minutes walking distance from my house.

I assume spectators (with no intention of playing) are welcome? My bronze league friends I'm sure would love to come but will never pay 30 dollars to get rolled xP

i can pay the fee, but i'm imagining how much i can do with just $30 lol. i will try to make it because i am a big supporter of the Toronto SC2 community.

30$ is a big fee.

If it's only a tournament where the top 3 people win money, there should be compensation for all the participants. (Prizes and raffles were mentioned?) Compensation as in...t-shirt or something you know...just so people would WANT to pay even though they know they would not win.

Also your flyer on your facebook page says 30$ early bird and 40$ fee.

I suggest you lowering your prize pool if you do not have sponsors, because if you expect to make it up by ticket sales I think you will be sadly mistaken

Haha I know, I played a toronto-area BW tournament back in the day, and beat people up until I got to lose to JF, despite only being D+. It's an unwise investment because I don't really play SC2 competitively
