We've got top level NA players dying to go to LAN but we can't figure out a way to send them. Two years in a row. That sucks.

I'm not sure I disagree, but you also have to consider that this isn't, like, a failed fundraiser or anything. They decided they didn't want to ask for help. I'd like to know why exactly they were uncomfortable with that, but either way, at least we've got one cohesive NA team going this year.

"hey guys give us $7k+ while we have no incentives to give, might still not be worth spectating, and on top of that the prizepot in no way makes up for any of that."
asking for that much under current circumstances is essentially asking you guys for a free vacation with nothing in return

And that is a very fair point.
But
Maybe we can count how many people complain once i63 rolls around that there's no real competition for Froyo. I don't know what rosters the other teams are bringing but.. you know. And then maybe we can ask these folks on Twitter or whatever if they could dig up five bucks to donate, if it could have helped. Maybe I'm totally off here, who knows. Kids threw down thousands of bucks so Grant can make a second YouTube channel for guitar and habib can bother his parents. We DEFINITELY have folks out there thinking "Damn dude it's too bad Ascent can't go to LAN"
For the first big GXL I think it was, dashner didn't want to make a fundraiser to go. Same deal. He was like "Well why would people donate with no reason to" etc, convincing himself it wasn't worth trying, or that nobody cared, he felt bad etc. Well I convinced him to make one, the goal was met very quickly, and he made it and the show was awesome. You don't know until you try.
This is the TF2 community. Have we all forgotten about what we can accomplish when we try hard enough?

Land on Earth, people donated for b4nny to go because everybody knows they are going to dominate every single 6s team there, and I mean dominate. If there were no perks, the goal would have been achieved for quite the same period, really.

Mate, I only donated in order to watch Se7en give b4nny (allah forgive me for saying that treacherous man's name) a good kick in his knickers!

understandable, but i still want to add
even if you can't really contest froyo yet, it's always fun to see na teams play eu teams, even if theyre not at the top. especially if the eu scene gets as rolled as everyone is expecting it to, it would have been nice to see how the rest of the scene stacks up. i mean, they claim it was the food poisoning, but you guys were beating 7 at rewind 2. that matchup would have been hype af. just gotta hope for rewind 3 i guess :(
