if you whine about lag when you play on american server as european, your just braindead ^^ there is litaraly no lag
"Literally no delay" is not very smart to write since it's completely incorrect. There's quite a bit delay even playing on EU servers from EU, and possibly double delay when playing on NA. Just by worker stacking offline, on EU, and on NA you'll notice quite a big difference between them.

just wanted to tell you that your comment on consuming a ton of enrgy for nothing is only partialy correct if we asume that energy required to verify money, in mainstream money case goverment and central bank aparatus - which too spends lot of energy 'for nothing' - debatable if it is for nothing. Apart mining those servers do verification of transactions which require to solve big problems so you would need put effort to verify, thus discouraging scaming, i think it is a LOT LESS WASTED ENERGY THAN IN OLDSCHOOL MONEY WHERE A LOT OFF GOVERNMENT OFFICE COMPUTERS ARE SITTING THERE WHILE EMPLOYEES CHECK THEIR FACEBOOK.
Best of 7, win by 2, would be way cooler than best of 9. You could build in a tie at like best of 10 or 12 as well if you wanted. But I'd assume they already locked down the format and aren't going to change it by now.
I like that they went with bo7 as the format. It's not too short, it's not too long. There's only so many build orders that really work against a particular opponent, and we're guaranteed at least 4 epic games. The only thing that could be better is if they added some offrace/arcade/fun exhibition games.

I can't see it being a huge issue really. I expect Naniwa or Scarlett will immediately turn most/all of them into actual money as soon as they get them; much like the TL store does. I'd be hugely surprised if they were held onto as actual bitcoins. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for the sponsors but a lot safer that way.

Lol, pros whine more than anyone else. It's their living therefore it's more important to them.
