Would be good if you edited your earlier statement, then.

They pay out, tough kinda slow. There rand-dollar exchange rates are also wrong but I guess you can't expect them tbh.

Just to let you guys know - I don't know if the casters have delay between them, but listening live it sounds like they are just talking over each other - though it is unintentional, it sounds really awful.
Hope you can fix it!

nvm, how stupid i am.
edit: since I got made a post, might as well use it.
can't believe how little attention this tournament series is getting. in my opinion, it is walking the best way I've seen up till now of promoting their local scene and keeping the credibility of being a tournament that supports competitive gaming. the players in their scene get a chance to show their play without being kicked out in the first round by some international star, yet they do not exclude good players from participating.

Thanks for the strong words JustPassingBy, we are working hard on getting exposure and as time goes on we are slowly getting to a point where we feel we are getting the recognition our tournaments deserve.
