In your proposal, you claimed that invite players don't care about the money. However, the article released today about RGL LAN includes adjusting the top 4 teams' prizing so that they could be financially compensated better for going to LAN. Did suddenly RGL do this out of the kindness of their hearts? Doubtful. There was definitely a push by many invite players for this to happen. We can conclude two things from this: 1. With the introduction of LANs, Invite players care a lot more about their own financial sustainability of playing at a high level. (I would say some care a lot even before LANs) 2. RGL decisions are highly influenced by those invite players.

To be clear, right now RGL is most likely focused on making LAN happen successfully. I think this is fine since it still grows the scene in a significant way. But this also means I highly doubt any of your proposals (which I won't comment on) will see any action in the near future unless someone with big RGL sway makes it their priority.

I wanted to drop some American short stories that I recommend.
Since you can't buy 1 book with all of them I've linked an online source that you can print if you love paper.
If you like a story I recommend getting the book that the story is a part of.
In no particular order:

Pastoralia by George Saunders (2000)
Defender of the Faith by Philip Roth (1959)

There's already many post-quantum cryptography schemes out there, some of them going through CSRC standardization rn. Besides, quantum computing is nowhere near close to even touch our cryptography schemes now. I give it 30 years, on the same timeline as nuclear fusion.

Kinda impressed at the viewership increase over the year. When is RGL going to get sponsors?
