Hello!

As we plan events for 2026 (yes, slight spoiler) and 2027, I make the request for monetary support to Fireside via either:

• Subscribing to us on Twitch (we receive 50% of all Twitch subscriptions)
  
• Pledging a monthly amount to our Fourthwall Memberships platform (we receive everything - tax)
  
• Fireside Merch!
  
• Donating via our website

We use all of our proceeds towards our events. We maintain a full finances transparency sheet (last updated after Denver) here.

Most, if not all our budget accumulated via these multiple sources went towards:

• Physgun Fireside Denver 2025 Prize Pool
  
• Helping lessen the financial burden of volunteer staff attending the Denver LAN
  
• Retroactively compensating people for their years of work at Fireside (the majority of this went to everyone at Fireside. Me, antlers, resin, and lacy barely took any of this
  
• Website and server upkeep

If we are compensated for coverage of other tournaments, we also primarily focus on paying our broadcast talent. After our coverage of the MGE.TF 1v1 World Championship, each caster and producer were rewarded over $100 each for their work over the weekend. IIRC Fireside took a very small cut of the amount, of which is pooled towards an event in the future.

Thank you!

hey so me and bethnicz are working on another lore video (probably our last one together) and we're looking for any footage any people recorded of wg eu at any of the lans they've been in

if you're willing to help us out reach out to me on discord - siyo_.

thanks

seems like more of the issue is that there's no people willing to run/organize the tournament in eu. there's always a willing team that will organize/run the tournament in north america because there's personal investment into the format/tournament itself (e.g. mge/jump fortress but tbh idk if jump fortress is NA based) but you don't really see it in EU. just my two cents though

To teams awaiting prize money:

Thank you for your patience during the time we took to get payouts for the tournament done, and apologies that it took so long. I've gotten word that payouts have occurred for the majority of teams since last Friday coming into today. If you have not received your prize payout by Friday, hit me up on Discord (siyo_.)

Thanks again!

plinko being the head admin of 6s is a great change. plinko truly cares about the scene and i think many will come to appreciate him in the head admin role and he's one of the more reasonable and community facing admins from that of the past. Excited to see what comes next

Update on this: We are putting the finishing touches on Part 1 of 3 (Part 3 is kinda half a part tbh). Hoping to upload within the next month.

would you say your PIM is attempting to be similar to that of counter strike's HLTV rating or vlr.gg's valorant player rating?
