No, but when someone donates that much on condition of some rules being in place, why is it bad? Sure you can critique it, but in the end, its having that money or not.

To see this amount of money go to tier 2 players can be quite frustrating I think, especially knowing that you can't partic...

Some first thoughts: Cool that there is a championship again. Very big pricepool, I hope that's sustainable for esoc. I hope the secondary and tertiary prize pools work out.
