Erehaimu Profile Joined August 2012 Argentina 23 Posts #3 Good luck again guys, and also don't mess up the prize pool number like last time. The last event stated a $500 dollar prize pool, I only got $100 for first.

Khainer Profile Joined May 2011 Netherlands 54 Posts #4 prize pool doesn't mean 1st takes all,

it means it will be distributed over a number of winners. #1 gets the highest usually. "Move or be moved" -Spawn

I've been to local LANs with a smaller prize pool than that with a $15-20 entry fee. It seems very steep, yes.... Sadly, from my experience it's the norm. That being said, the environment and entertainment that LANs produce for $20 is well worth it. Spend 10-12 hours bullshitting with people, watching games, etc. I've been to local LANs with a smaller prize pool than that with a $15-20 entry fee. It seems very steep, yes....

5-6 teams

25-35 players.

60 dollars to each player implying that first gets 300 dollars

The prizes are various cubes (there are many brands, some better than others) which generally are worth 15-25 bucks.



You don't have to compete for money. Most pro gamers don't even play for the money, they do it because it's fun. It's not common for people to go to a tournament and whatever is it solely for money. Refer to my post.

Prophanity Profile Joined January 2012 United States 130 Posts Last Edited: 2012-08-28 03:33:39 #15 I'm not in the area but thought I'd add some context for people complaining about the entrance fee:



Trip to the movies

Matinee ticket cost - $10

Popcorn/drink combo - $12

Candy - $4

Total: $26 on a cheap night, alone, for less than 2 hours of enjoyment.



Dinner with the laaaaaaady! (Taco Be....McDonal....Applebees?)

Dinner (yours) - $12

Dinner (hers) - $12

Appetizer - $6

Dessert - $6

Total: $36 for the two of you + listening to stories about her bitch friend wearing the same shoes ("that she DAMN WELL KNOWS I just bought!")



Drafting M:TG at FNM with your friends (What? I like the card art. Shut up.)

Entrance fee - $5

Pack fee - $12

Drinks - $4

Pizza - $6

The shit you always buy during and after the event like more packs - $10-200+

Total: $27 +~10-200 for several hours of fun with your friends and the potential to win a few hundred bucks in cards.



This tournament

Total: Priceless. Also, $20. Hours of fun with your friends and strangers with the potential to win a few hundred bucks in ACTUAL money.



Pay and play, people.



Edit: pay and play SC2, that is. You know.
