I can jump in and confirm that Marm is an adult-ass adult and I would 1000% trust him with money. I am going to be donating some amount to this cause, just have to figure out how much.

viperis there a gofund.me page up or a paypal that donations can be sent to for the time being?

Its a saturday night and ive been drinking so I'm deferring most questions for now. I will, however, say that by early next week at the latest a more official post with a gofundme will be created. Ive already figured out our total costs and am working woth several different people/orgs on getting us over there.

As a side note I would really appreciate banny not commenting on this endeavor any more as he has no information from anyone involved and is speaking from a purely speculative/ignorant space.

Checking in on here, seeing where the hype is. Great community if they are willing to back teams, shows that the community doesn't want their game to go away, keep the fight alive guys and there will always be a scene!

Also, side thought, I used to run some tournament organizing companies (even built a few communities around them). If you guys really want this to survive and be an amazing place and you're willing to crowd fund, should check into finding companies that will host tournaments regularly.

If you guys really want this to survive and be an amazing place and you're willing to crowd fund, should check into finding companies that will host tournaments regularly.

I mean, it seems like we already have those companies in place, although I guess it depends on what you mean by "regularly." As far as I know TF2's been a part of the i-series for quite a while now, for which we crowdfund top teams once a year. Recently we also held an event of similar caliber in California with the ESA Rewind LAN, about which Wade, one of the main organizers, has said:

WadeESAI'm sure I'm forgetting so many people but I just want to say how much I truly enjoyed making this event a possibility. I would love to have a Rewind 2.0 and don't see a reason why it wouldnt happen!

So I guess we're doing okay?

That makes potentially two international LANs per year. We're a very generous community, but without external financial support I don't think we can feasibly fund top teams to fly between continents more than twice a year.

On a much smaller scale, shoutout to FACEiT for setting up their small biweekly online tournaments in both NA and EU.

I don't really know how much money you need but I guess setting up a fundraiser and doing a few showmatches could really do some work. I would definitely throw in some money at least.

Another thing, I'm not entirely sure but I think you cannot pay with paypal at gofundme so setting up an alternative where people who don't own a credit card or so can donate as well would be beneficial I guess.

glad that we have people willing to do the lans and stuff, but I think they meant like, weekly or monthly online tournaments. like Razer used to do, or the monthly melee or rivalcade rumble for overwatch.

faceit still does those to my knowledge, but no $. i think the difficulty is i don't know if they ever crowdfund for online stuff, and generally participation dies out after a few tries and the company leaves.

While banny had valid comments about how both yight and dingo have been scummy in the past, addressing the whole team as a bunch of scammers is such a shitty way to put it down
I hope that gnomercy does get to go to LAN tho, it's gonna be fun to see players other than froyo/evl duke it out with the euros for a change

KonceptJarlowWouldn't this almost be every team sponsored?If an org picked Gnomercy up, then Meat Market would be the only alive team in invite that's not sponsored

Also if an org does pick up these guys for i61 I will happily push whatever I'm doing aside temporarily and write an article ready for our editors to look at

FROYOTECH counts as a not sponsored team?
