#9 ESEA Prize Breakdowns are out in TF2 General Discussion

Nobody in TF2 was using the cl

SnazTwitchTVJohnSnazWhy are invite teams rewarded with the $3,000 larger prize pool but Open and IM (the two largest divisions) see none of it? Am I missing the logic?

Is their reasoning that invite teams were somehow affected by the bitcoin mining more than the teams in Open and IM?
For some invite teams, the cost of traveling to the LAN still outweighs their winnings. Open/IM teams don't have that issue. As long as you're getting your money back and enjoying the platform, I don't see an issue with it. The highest level of play should always result in a larger prize pool. I'm pretty stoked about this. Invite guys might actually make enough money to take me to In n Out at this LAN.
I 100% agree that invite prize pool should be higher. ESEA should establish prize pools that make it affordable for invite teams to make it to LAN. This above and beyond money they have accrued via bitcoin mining should be divied amongst the divisions based on how many teams there are, and the money should be evenly dispersed. rather than ignoring 90% of the league and paying out to the top 10%, it should be evenly dispersed.

My Math:

ESEA Open: 69 teams; 66% of paying TF2 teams = $2,453.58

ESEA IM: 25 teams; 24% of paying TF2 teams = $891.25

ESEA I: 10 teams; 10% of paying TF2 teams = $371.36

Nobody deserves any of the money generated during the bitcoin fiasco other than those that were negatively impacted by it. You also just put every penny of that money into TF2 and didn't account for the multitude of divisions for other games. If it was broken down evenly among divisions/regions, you'd be looking at essentially no increase in prize pools for anybody.

#16 Opinions on ~ $1300 PC Build in Hardware

elementTwitchTVJohnAre you able to spend the extra cash moneys on a 760? The 760 is basically a replacement for the 660ti PE which was a fantastic card for thr price. I feel that going with a previous generation card on a new build will be something you may regret in a year or so.

Yes. That card will be wonderful. EGVA's RMA policy is great. You can shit on a video card and they'll let you replace it.

Your cooler will be fine. The 212 keeps up with air coolers that are 5x the price. You'll be able to comfortably overclock to your hearts content.

#82 OTHER HOBBIES? in Off Topic

I work a lot. Outside of gaming, my biggest "hobby" is probably craft beer. I've spent $500 on a case of beer and I don't regret it.

I'm not a "drink to get hammered" kinda guy, but I appreciate the time and effort that goes into a beer that's not mass produced. I look at it as a form of art. That art goes into my belly.

bmanI really think you guys are underestimating the value of a 9th overall in this deep draft... but you are right schneider is worth more than a 9. Not a lot more.

It's not about what he's worth.. it's about wtf are they going to do goalie wise? Luo? After all that?

#15 NHL off season trades/rumors in Off Topic

thrasherHaha, that line would be devastating. Also don't forget about our other young forwards. Sean Couturier had a rough sophomore season this time around (altho partially due to the team being a disaster in general), but in his rookie year he made malkin his bitch in the playoffs lol. Schenn, read, voracek... So much young skill up front. I wouldn't be shocked to see couts, schenn, or read go as part of a deal for a top d-man (especially if the bobby ryan trade happens)thrasherTorts is a good coach, altho he does have rage issues. The rangers have been getting better every year, and when they went all in on Nash last year that was supposed to put them over the top. It didnt work out, someone needs to answer for it. The rangers put the blame on him in an attempt to explain why they didnt win the cup this year. That's hockey for you.

Biggest issue for you guys is consistency. Also goaltending. You need a consistent guy that can handle the Philly fans. They're fucking crazy.

thrasherYeah the flyers have a ton of cap space to work with now after the buyouts. Also. When the season starts and pronger goes on the long term injured list that gives them another 9mil to play with. Rumors have bobby ryan heading here. That would be nice, but we still need a replacement for pronger to lead our D, and a goalie. I have a feeling they make a move for luongo.

Bobby Ryan and Giroux just sounds horrifying. As a Pens fan... pls no.
