Luviseeing that people on reddit prioritize a 4 minutes long sfm animation over a 3 days long international tournament disappoints me (it means "it makes me extremely mad").
But still, one can waste his money however he wants, i'm not gonna complain any longer.
It isn't that people are prioritizing SFM over LAN, people making that decision more than likely aren't interested in LAN/Comp TF2 at all. It might be a different scenario if the person was an active esea player who tunes into championships for entertainment, but we're talking about players who don't view the game like that even after the matchmaking update, it's in no way fair to try and demoralize someone just because they spend money based on their interests.
I do agree money would have much more impact being donated to a teams travel, but i'm friends with mecha and he's very passionate about his work. He shouldn't have set himself up to be copyright-striken but he just took steps to fix it, and people enjoy his work so they support it. It's the communities choice to support comp, not responsibility.
