It's an on going process (sp?). It will be a stream, but thats all I dare say atm = P

They should lower the entry price for progamers, get Day9 and someone almost as awesome as him, and get a really good quality stream. Do it like DH did, that was one hell of a tourney.
|
well, they cant be trusted. They haven't paid out the last year pricemoney for the css tournament yet.
|
Hope they will get day9 to cast this, please don't get TB he is horribad

Also the price can be payed out in hardware, not cash only AFAIK.

There was one private css compo hosted by hellfragger. But the Hellfragger league playoff for css was hosted by tg, and the pricemoney on there behalf haven't been paid out yet, and from what I know, it wont be either.

Holy crap that is one hell of an entrance fee. Unless you think you can make top3 I guess it isn't worth the effort to go.

You are wrong, Hellfragger is the ones responsible for paying out the price.

Do you have a source for that Roflhaxx? I think roddern played in the compo, so I guess he knows better than you(unless you are a TG - official or something).
Also, the casual player go there for the experience, but I don't think the same is for the pro-gamers that also want to earn some money.
|
The source-tournament created an unique situation afaik, since it wasn't TGs own tournament. I know there have been some trouble with the payment there. But afaik its in the making = )

You are right Quakie.
They did pay out in cheap hardware, but the players didn't want anything to do with that. I hope they pay out, but I have learned by now that esport is a shady business, so I don't expect anything.
Nevertheless, I hope and think it will be a great tournament for sc2, looks like they take it more serious. Just need to lower the entry fee.

The entry fee will most likely be 50% less, trying to fix that as we speak = )
