One assumes the venue has to be paid for, equipment hire and so forth too. No they aren't paying me, before you ask, I doubt anyone's getting paid for this. | ||

You can expect [...] a small surprise (really would like to announce it already but it just isn’t in a state yet where we can do it; lets just say it’s something nobody else did before, just a small thing though) I'm curious! When will it be announced? | ||

[–]primadog 2 points 15 minutes ago So the entry fees do not contribute to the charity effort? Cyanide_kcn[S] 1 point 2 minutes ago afaik it is to pay the location, the staff isn't paid at all, so don't worry. Even TB flies in on his own. The whole stream revenue as well as the sponsor's money will go towards charity I have a problem with the way this charity event is set up. In fact, I have three:
All it takes is one screw up for our community to turn against charitable efforts in its entirety. I hope the organizers would clarify and reconsider how they plan this event out. | ||

I appreciate your concerns but we mention what we do with the entrance tickets explicitly in the announcement: We try to keep the expenses as low as possible but there is some costs which you can’t avoid even if everyone organising it is doing it for free. This is mostly travel expenses for the Players and Casters and equipment rental, so parts of the sponsorship money and entrance ticket revenue will be used to cover those expenses, anything which is left will be also distributed accordingly. ... look up the "Tournament Details" section if you don't believe me... and yes it's been standing there all the time and not edited in just now. So yes unlike an online stream there is more overhead but about unlike what you claim we communicate them very transparently. | ||

Will you and the event organizers commit to a public listing of all costs, expense and revenue, of this event? Will you and the event organizers commit to donate all proceeds, excess of the costs and overhead, to charities outlined? I cannot recall a single charity event in StarCraft 2 scene with such significant listed overhead costs. It's up to you to demonstrate to the Community that this format is a better, more efficient form for charitable fundraising, in comparison to the traditional online charity drive. Failure to do so will only discredit your efforts. | ||
