Sorry guys, 3 latvians don’t have credit cards please call this off.

Transfer by SWIFT-code to another country will cost you around 5€ per transfer though, this is where the problems come in I assume.

Scratch that, it’s a VISA transfer, thus also free.

Quoted from Trane

Yet they all manage to afford the internet, the games they want, and sufficient hardware to run it. I know kids who play this game who claim they have NO money, yet the have the latest 150euro steelseries blowjob headset with gold plated microphone.

Don’t listen to their cries of hardship.

[…]you choose – computer games or booze…

Learn 2 budget.

Also if they’re 16 and 17 and don’t have a bank account they may as well use something like ESEA as a motivation to set one up, even if they no money. They will be glad they did it when they start working or subscribing to online porn.

These kind of league fees are the sort of thing minor MGOs thrive on – the sort that will give you servers but can’t fund a LAN.

ETF2L should have an entry fee.

edit: seriously.

Yep Kaidus, though the problem is mgos mainly pick up decent teams (not saying good or top teams) but teams like in div5 struggle a little bit more to get an mgo.

This means these teams would have to pay fees themselves to give a prizepool to top players who don’t even have to pay for their fees by themselves…

I agree that fees could be a good idea i’m just saying mgos are not really solving the problem imo

tl;dr: there’s not enough moneys in esports as a whole to support a whole bunch of top teams, casters and orgs in general in all the possible games there are. Sponsors are still critical and not really convinced to pump monies into esports as it’s still new etc etc. Thus follows the obvious: Orgs/sponsors will start with those they know are getting them something in return, i.e. have a huge fanbase (LoL, SC2) just to name the biggies.

I could sponsor a team, call yourself “panda-esports” and I will provide you with a server (borrowed from ETF2L constantly), a mumble (ETF2L mumble) and LAN funds (ask TheSucker for details).

If you’re really that strapped for cash, just scam some retard for earbuds and sell them… instant 20 dollars, surely the entry fee can’t be higher than that. I don’t think paypal requires to be linked to a bank account (probably wrong,) and there’s your way of doing the transaction. I don’t really see how it can be that big an issue..

If you wanna expand competitive tf2 it would be completely dumb to put a fee on every team, if someone just came out from pub and wants to get in competitive tf2, he won’t fucking pay for something he doesn’t know. However, would be possible to put a fee on division prem to 3 or something, or if it’s the ESEA way, then on invite and intermediate.

and kaidus your ego is too big, but don’t worry, it’s funny :)

????????

What the hell provoked that? Have I even posted in this thread?

Edit: I see it now. Perhaps you need to learn to see when something is a joke, since you are such an expert on humour and all…
