consumonnflufIs a big prize pool really needed? I would say the pride in winning a high level LAN is priceless.Big prize pool = more incentive to be there and win = better games = bigger lan
= more money in the scene = more attractive to sponsors

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? ;)

DollyTeams that win the international (iseries) get remembered, even if they weren't good in the seasons, even if around Christmas there are teams of godlike proportions who then fold or slip in skill because of other issues

JoshdumanAlthough I'm pretty new here, I saw this post and it got me thinking. I have a fair deal of experience with fundraising type events (around 20 hosted), and I find that actual involvement tends to bring better results than just selling something (I.e. hosting a golf outing vs selling candy bars). Suppose there was some kind of online event held, where people could pay like 20 (or more) dollars to play sixes comp game with one (maybe two?) pro player and other people who paid. I mean, one game would raise about 200 dollars, and price is still pretty low. I just have a feeling that a good number of people would love a chance to interact with the actual players.
I don't really know what processes are currently used, though, so this could be a silly suggestion for all I know.
RONIN (then Ascent) raised more than 3/4 of their fundraiser for i55 off one or two showmatches against nR/TLR

was wondering about the lack of support for geoh, for my money he was the best pocket on lan.
regardless, I think the all star statistics lineup was spot on to what I would've picked

lighthousethis seems like the best place to put this, so i just wanna say i think one highlight at this event is eXtine. hes doing an absolutely outstanding job. i see interviews when watching professional sports and tbh i think eXtine is whipping out questions way better than any of the sports people do. keep lookin good and laying down those awesome questions, youre doing amazing.
nice
