I however think it is shameful and disgraceful for enterprises with large incomes and most likely decent profit, like TL and this domain company, to make a lottery with the measly prize of USD 2000. I think it should have been done for free for all members of the site. I believe it would be a petter PR action. My logic is that TL is able to pay monthly salaries for those clowns on the CSGO team which are probably not less than USD5000 per month for a clown. So such a company should be able to give the community USD2000 for free and make good impression for itself instead of selling lottery tickets. But that's none of my business I guess. | ||

You'd arrive the day before the tournaments and you'd be travelling home the day after, so you'd need 4 nights of hotel. The hotels at DreamHack are somewhere between $150-200 a night for anything that's remotely decent in the area that's not outside of the city. In addition, the ticket to DreamHack costs roughly $70 (it might be a little lower now that the dollar has become stronger), but in addition to that we'd get you access to hang out with us in backstage spaces, go on stage and whatnot. Lastly, depending on where in Europe you'd be from for this trip it could cost anything from $100 to $500. The average price I'd total up a little bit above what you're saying, and now you can times that by two due to us doing the exact same thing in the United States for the LCS. Now, that is one day shorter, but the hotels are also more pricey in Santa Monica. Looking forward to meet whoever wins, will be great fun! In all honesty, I like that you're defending the point, but trolls will be trolls and will never accept this anyways. No matter how much logic and effort you put into, people will just keep on disagreeing. For me, this is actually the trigger to finally buy my own domain, since I have never put any effort into getting my own site. Nice action! | ||

You really think TL players earn 5k+ USD per month in salary? | ||

No biggie. What email did you sign up with? I will have them manually check. We will be emailing users on the emails they signed up Namecheap with as well as announce them on the site! | ||
