The Cow Mangler is stupid.
As a spectator, the EU ruleset is a lot better than the NA ruleset
Serj sounded really good when I saw them in Amsterdam last year, actually. I don't think his voice would be an issue for a studio recording.
I've been waiting for this for eleven years. Saw them live last year in Amsterdam, fantastic show.
StroheimDarkdwarfTwiiKuucapnfapnWhat if we all ask our moms if we can borrow 10 bucks
What about something like Patreon? Small charges every month for a lot of users probably could bring in a lot of money, and then rush it by advertising the heck out of it a month before the event so that outsiders would bring in money as well.
I'd probably stop my twitch subs and drop 10-20 bucks per month.
You could combine the patreon idea with Sideshows compendium idea.
SideshowCharge £10 or so for the item which contains: team profiles, artwork, interviews, etc. It would also make you eligible for giveaways during the tournament, allow you to play fantasytf2 for the event, vote for players for an MVP award, vote for the teams in an all-star match, vote in a fragmovie competition before the event like i46, and let you take part in a predictions competition for points/prizes.
Set up the patreon in a way like this:
- If x dollars per month/week/whatever is reached, an interview with a potential attendee/production staffer/old school star will be conducted for that period.
- If y dollars per blahblah is reached, a showmatch will be held that month between current top teams.
- If z dollars per blahblah is reached, an all-star game will be held that month where the patrons vote on the teams.
- If w dollars per blahblah is reached, a signed item will be raffled out among patrons.
You get the idea.
I feel like interviews would be something that would be done regardless. Who would pay to have a guy from Xenex talk about their lan hopes?
Also, if the donations are constantly up on the y-z tier (hypothetically), the twitch community would probably make fun of the twitch channel or the scene itself.
"TF.TV: Where every match is a Showmatch!"
I think you can get around those things.
1. Of course interviews could be done, but the thing about a patreon like this is that it ensures those interviews will be made.
2. If there were two showmatches a month inbetween the twelvethousand league-games, I don't think they would characterize the channel in the manner you describe.
WARHURYEAHI don't think having bigger lans with bigger prize pools is going to help things, I'd rather see a heavier focus on making leagues a lot more healthy which will in turn spawn more regular high quality content, help teams stick together for longer and give newer teams and players more motivation to improve.
I feel just having another LAN will mean that the hype will just surround the event and just die out afterwards leading to teams disbanding and going their separate ways.
Not only that but I feel that for TF2 to actually do this anyway, I'd love to see a scale back on production efforts, I know that it's what we pride ourselves in but I feel this will lead to putting too much effort into a scene that may not bare fruits at the end of it. This I feel is leading to this whole shitty "we can't justify putting all this time into it and not get anything back". If we focus instead just putting on a quality and modest show we'd put less pressure on certain individuals and we can then make sure that the load is separated so that we don't overburden select individuals.
I can't speak for everyone else but I'd like to see more regular cups and shorter leagues take place online, for EU especially ETF2L is becoming such a stagnant place that I feel it's a large contributor to players not wanting to play anymore.
Would tying funding and qualification for any event like this to placings in for example ETF2L kill two birds with the same stone?
p-rez stopped playing?

There should really be a new A/D map developed for 6v6 instead of Gpit being brought back. The format has real potential.
SideshowYou posted the editing link in here which is very risky, and DHW/DHS was dollars not euros.
I made a backup, just in case someone is an ass. :)
Correcting the prize pools for DH, then.
armadilloDarkdwarfYeah, he's got all the ESH ones now I think.
There are two types of razer cups, maybe I didn't name them well.
There were "Gaming Grids TF2 Frag Fest" for EU & NA and they went from like July 2015 - September 2015
These had $100 prizepools
Then there were "Game Sense - Sunday Practice Cup"
They had $20 prizepools
There were 8 in November last year
Thanks, edited the spreadsheet!
MR_SLINSo basically ESEA has the majority of the scene's prize pool since the beginning. Not surprising, but it does make me wish that their EU endeavor went over better with the community as there would likely have been even more prize money in the scene as a result.
It does highlight very well how much ESEA has put into this game over the years.
Went through everything on esportsearnings as well and added them to the spreadsheet. :)
