woaw!

a 500€ final is something to get excited about, but anon put the right question on top. with the history the esl has onpaying out prizes for tournaments like this we might aswell treat the ems as a tournament without prices until we know something changed

Everyone receives their prize money. However, it is a bit later then expected so I do not see why you would argue this part? At the end this is not your living right?

they did? very glad about that.
i just remember discussion where more and more teams/players turned up saying that they did not / that it had been over like 2 years. not only speaking about ems but various maller esl tournaments (both ql and sc2). as much as i wondered why this was not made a public issue (i guess mostly because everyone got used to it) i wonder why it was not made public when everything got cleared up. as much as my opinion might be unjustified its still not good for the esl if people associate the esl with not paying prices. and that i (and others) do.

At the end this is not your living right?

no, but what does that have to do with anything? (its a problem for the whole "esports" ecosystem and thus for spectators aswell in the end) in any way, lets not argue about wether its okay to pay prices month after when they should ,it has been done often enough.

Lets just say, ask Four Kings or Fnatic if they received their prize money of EMS6. By my known EMS6 has been paid out at the start of EMS9, so they should have received it.

Obviously people will not start bragging about the fact they received their prize money because it is seen as normal. Just like bad word of mouth is kept in mind while "good points" are seen as normal.

Also, TE is aware of this and is trying to shorten it, probably a matter of time...

As you say yourself... lets not argue about prize money being paid out months after... I think this has been cleared then.

On the other hand, it's rather sad that Quake loses an other competitive league with prize money after EMS9.

what is there possibly to brag about receiving your prize money 3 seasons later? maybe if they received ems8 payouts before ems9 is announced it might be worth a mention

1. normal in esport is to get nothing or very late.
2. dird got a point

"EMS6 has been paid out at the start of EMS9"

nice delay, so we can expect the money for EMS8 when EMS11 starts?

and what about the ENC prizemoney, that still hasn't been paid.

but what happens when EMS stops altogether, will the pending winnings still be paid out..?

That's something not to worry about... QL won't have this problem in the future.

You didn't understand what he wrote, did you?

I do, but it seems you don't get the underlying message.

Simplified: prize money is 2 seasons behind, EMS10 will be announced soon so an other season will be paid out soon, that would mean Quake has only EMS8 left to be paid out and it is highly unlikely that no EMS11 will follow due to the success of other games in EMS. So... no worries for the Quake community if what crea says ever would happen. Comprender?

Nope, you really are incapable of making a point. I can only guess what you are trying to say.

Summarized:

"lets not argue about wether its okay to pay prices months after when they should ,it has been done often enough."

"TE is aware of this and is trying to shorten it, probably a matter of time..."

"i recieved all cash from ESL i won. just need to be patient"

This being said... me acting as a PLAYER now. This behaviour is one of the reasons why QL won't less long any more.

The English is strong with this one.

The English is strong with in this one.

Hm... But, yeah, it is strong.

You do realize it has been copied out of other posts not made by me?

who are you, why u whine about this as a noname, and stfu.. go play lol
give credits to this man for organizing this instead of whining

Yeah it's not like that most players don't give a fuck about the game, can't show up at a given date or even replay to a simple answer in support but rather spam esreality with their whine and crap about how the game is dying etc. It's not only the pros it happened in buli this season, cb tdm and several other duel likes I tried to attend. But y blame esl who gave duel a last chance with a 1000€ prizepool fucking moron.

i recieved all cash from ESL i won. just need to be patient :D verrrrryyyyyyy patient :D

GO KEELSEEN

2ez4strenx

The coverage of this league has been outstanding!

I didn't even new this tournament is running, lol.

When is final ?

i dont know, believe me

I BELIEVE YOU MAN

If strenx would ever reply in the ticket where a date is being discussed. We could actually announce more... (same for agent btw).

WHY ONLY PUT AGENT IN BRACKETS THEN? STRENX HATER HUH?

talk to him on irc on sunday, both actually...

will be easier to talk with both ot them via IRC

Go go strenx !

so when is this final match?

2 February at 21:00 live on ESLTV with Joeeeeeee

updating the post to mention this information might be a good idea

what about joe casting with zoot!?!

ugh god fuck no ^^ after listening to some old ugc tournaments with 2gd and joe casting you can really tell how shit zoot and all the new casters are compared to them. Either have joe on his own or with someone who can actually give a decent analysis of the game rather than these new casters who just describe what's on the screen in front of them then and there which we can all see for ourselves anyway ffs

I'll watch this only because Joe is casting it.

zoot isn't shit compared to anyone, he does a better job than all new and most OLD casters do

by that definition joe is a new caster too. o_o

give him a break, he's the only good (even by esr standards) caster that's left for 1v1

Exactly. The very least for what he can get my props is that he stands up and actually casts. If not for him there would be literally no casters for 1v1 online competition for English-speaking community.

maybe you should listen to some of your beloved oldschool casters like fishsticks & slasher.. really leave zoot alone. hes doing awesome and its pointless to compare every caster to the 2gd/joe combo we once had

joe + caplit worked great

Just to give you a heads up. We are going to unite a very special brotherhood.

Joe and 2GD BACK TOGETHER FOR ONE TIME ONLY (maybe)

Enjoy it ;)

it's been announced that the grand final will be bo15 maps.
