I received the sponsor money for the first two monthlies and have been working on paying it out today. I have at least added all the TLs from those monthlies to get paypal emails. If any team who has placed top 4 would like to talk to twitch about the hold up is then feel free to pm me on discord and I can put them in contact with them to talk.

I get that being a TO is thankless but you had 80 people signed up to basically give up their weekend to play this, why cancel when you come up 3 teams short?

I don't want to speak on behalf of essentials but from my understanding the 16 teams requirement was made by the sponsors. I'm not sure there would have been a prize pool for a 13 team tournament.

I understand contractually sponsors probably require that many signups to provide a prizepool, but alternatively the tournament could have still been offered without a prizepot. Admittedly this decreases the likelihood of top teams wanting to play and feeling baited in their signup, but it allows the teams that signed up to play tf2 to be able to play.

???????????????????????
seriously what the fuck are you talking about. plus the euros have been getting paid on the reg, so its pretty clear that late payments are the fault of the sponsors and not essentials itself. sure, what was promised is payment within 30 days of the cup itself, but being late isn't the same thing as no prize pool at all. people just jump on any stupid opportunity to be negative i guess
