Just to throw a suggestion out there while we're on the fundraiser topic
If we threw all our fundraiser money into a massive prizepool (which this amazing community could easily raise $50k+ for) instead of into the teams, how likely is it that bigger orgs would be willing to sponsor these teams and pay for travel expenses so they can go overseas to sell their brand? That is, after all, their end-game; publicise their brand/sponsors. Even Australian orgs have the potential backing to at least pay travel expenses. The prizepool would be large enough and distributed well enough to justify it IMO.
Just look at overwatch. Not a great game, but it has lots of money in it and, as a result, big orgs.
Thoughts?
e: @yuki I'm sure you could put in a good word at Tempo Storm ayy? ;)
