Further, even Relic accepts it has to pay somebody, however grudgingly - it has simply chosen to pay somebody else. Have you done the Maff yet, Juan? Have you worked out what ESL are likely to be getting from the $18,000? Or do you think ESL are doing it for the love of the game?
A lot of sense in there, even if I do begrudgingly say so.
However your point about "doing the maths" isn't a very good one:
Total overall prize pool: $16467.65
using (€1 = $1.09) as calculated by myself, all based on public info etc etc...
$18000 (assumed funds) - $16467.65 = $1532.35
workings spread sheet
Which for 34 staffed events would be a bargain and therefore I assume Relic are putting MORE than $18000 into all this, especially if you consider Relic staff costs and other overheads if it was to be costed into the project.
I actually think ESL offer a lot more than another Ami run tourney as Ami run .org tournies are largely saturated in their market, and this has more potential to bring other players and fans in from elsewhere, which is priceless.
love it
