Looks good! Hope beta stays up long enough for this to play out-

why does there have to be so many tournaments even before the game is available for most people to play? It's absolutely ridiculous at this point the amount of money people are able to earn just because of some random chance invite.

are you seriously going to try to argue that having thousands of twitch viewers because you got a game early doesn't equal a whole hell of a lot of money
besides the fact that companies are signing players and teams now, and people are developing connections. Meaning the pro scene is going to be impossible to get into when the game hits unless you were in the beta. Look at HOTS, look at hearthstone for god's sake. It's not a good idea to start a pro scene when so few people actually have access and it's this early into development.

even if the payouts are small now, you're establishing a base of players that will be the go-to for all high paying tournaments for the next 1-2 years at least, effectively shutting out everyone else.
besides the fact that twitch viewers, donations, and subs make up a whole hell of a lot more of those player's income from this game than that site says

edit: big shoutout to the elitist people who just want to shut down any differing opinion. You're making this a fine echo chamber

If you're a good player, you won't be "shut out". Stop being ridiculous, and stop pretending like you're being persecuted for having this opinion that everyone that doesn't get in now is fucked later on.

when the numbers of viewers is generally in the thousands (not ten or hundreds of thousands), it doesn't
