Taxes kill prize pool funding. Can we talk about cryptocurrencies and other strategies to make HSC worthwhile for players? The amount of donations before was incredible because of how it measured the community's support and love. I'm sure this community also has people with expertise and skill sets as well that can contribute to keeping HSC alive and even growing. For example, PM the organizers to offer free labor to help build up a crypto prize pool, offer to be the no-name that informs players of un-official incentives, offer private non-taxable gifts to the prize pool, etc. Starcraft players are intelligent and so are Starcraft fans. This is my small contribution, a gamble that these words lead to a little more sweat or creativity that leads to a big return on the end product of this HSC. The hard line for Starcraft, as I see it, if we never want it to be a ded-game, is that there is never a decline. If a tournament's prize pool, lineup, audience numbers stay the same, each following year, okay, but we can never let it decline, or it might be a slippery slope to ded-game. | ||

Koreans led starcraft into being a broadcasted competitive e-sport, it's just plain wrong to not have them, for whatever reason. What HSC does for the community is impossible to pay sufficient gratitude for and much pride should be taken - enough pride to not even host an HSC without solid koreans AND solid foreigners in the mix.

Its not as easy as you make it sound would be the first step. I don't want to blow off everything you say but you are also making your life too easy. Who is telling you that there are no Koreans coming? I am the person in charge for invites and lets look at the past HSCs , shall we? 16: Patience, Stats, Zest, aLive, MMA, Impact, Solar, jjakji 15: Zest, ByuN, GuMiHo 14: Stats, Zest, Patience, MC (cancelled due to Kongdoo LoL), sOs, TY, aLive, Solar, Rogue 13: TruE (iirc, this was a GSL date - conflict and most of them could not attend) 12: MC, MMA, TOP, HyuN, ByuN & Reality cancelled. 11: PartinG, Rain, Patience, GuMiHo, Ryung, HyuN, Jaedong, Sacsri As you can see, in general we always have Koreans and the only reason for more or less Koreans is a) budget b) teams not willing to send players or c) schedule conflict. I don't know what you base your opinion of not having Koreans at HSC base on but I already confirmed: soO, MMA; Zest, INnoVation for example. | ||

Pretty sure you legally still have to pay taxes on income generated from crypto. Or are you saying they should evade taxes that way because it's easier | ||
