PendjiIt's kinda sad how the bigger TF2 gets, the more shady the involvement of money gets. This is what, second time a team signs up for qualifiers, only to win money and not go? Shouldn't it be a requirement to actually show intentions of going to the fucking event beyond "eh maybe lol"?
This is basically a 'fuck you' to TF2 getting more of a presence at Dreamhack in favor of someone winning money. N e a t.
Yeah some people may think it's shitty by them, but at the end of the day if the current prem teams are getting beaten by a bunch of inactive, albeit very good, players then they don't really deserve the money. It's nice having all these games to cast/watch but if the desire was that the top active teams attend the LAN without the chance of people choking 4 tournaments in a row (Publiclir), the money should have just been given to the teams. Then have showmatches or something to promote the tournament.
