I've had this idea kicking around in my head for a couple seasons now. I think it would be a cool idea to have a community run tournament with the prizes being ESEA fees and servers for the top however many teams you had money for. This could maybe replace the Newbie Mix teams KevinIsPwn was running (not sure if that happened this season). The pros of this being that you wouldn't be spending as much money and it would go to teams already doing well and less likely to die, and also that a tournament can get people more excited than just a team drive. The cons that I can think of would just be that there's less total teams being paid for but I think the hype around the event could convince more teams to sign up for esea anyways.
I don't really have any means of making this happen right now just wanted to know people's thoughts.
