Is it out of place to wonder why they increase the prize pool after the same people keep winning, and you can kind of allude to who's going to win *cough* Luvnest *cough*. I'd like to get some ESL action without having to verse the best of the best, no money needs to be involved. Just my opinion.

It's a competitive event, the players are competitors, it's meant to be a spectacle in the same vein as a sporting spectacle. It's all about the best of the best, people trying their hardest to beat them.

Please try and apply your logic in the proper context.

There may end up being more casual ESL tournaments that aren't for money and encourage more casual players, in fact I'm 95% sure there will be. But that'd be a separate ball game and a different context.

edit: also I was waiting for the spark that starts off the comment chain, for that line of arguing please refer to the massive thread night posted, where the vast majority of people had the 'competitive' line of reasoning I share. Can someone link it please? To stop the same debate happening again.
