im surprised spirit didnt dodge this event and choose to attend pinnacle cup, considering alot of top teams are attending and it might affect their players stats.

Not quite! The major distributes the prizepool to all 32 teams. EWC however, is only 16 teams! However, yes, with the sticker money, i'd say the major is definitely a better tournament to be in.

Not to mention now with playoff teams getting Keytags for souvenir cases, the playoff teams get even more money now. Stickers + keytags and Prize pool money.

2025-06-03 20:32

How do we think investment is going to be for those keytag cases? Do we even know if it'll disclose what player is on the keytag and for what round it is? because then that'll be interesting, you can probably sell the case for a high price if somehow the play is the most memorable of the major

2025-06-03 20:41

Partnered teams in EWC get way more money than majors if they get good placing in multiple EWC events in multiple eSports. Also those teams just get money just by signing a new team in other eSports.

2025-06-03 22:27

Yes but we are talking about the prizepools, which will mostly benefit the players and not the orgs!

2025-06-03 22:31

No it doesn't. Have a look at stage 1 payouts. There is no cash for being knocked out in stage 1. Cash is for stage 2 onwards

Some countries around the world are not on board with the lgbtqiaa agenda. We in the West cannot impose on them what social issues they should address, how to run their socieities. If in some parts of the West, issues around lgbt have heen a priority at certain periods, in some parts of the world they arent. That said -- if issues of sexuality + lgbt are what resonate with you the most, happy Pride month to you 2! And good luck on your quest

2025-06-03 23:45

Lmao you really think I will find this shameful or offensive, you are so cooked

They didn’t even wait for the Major to end, lol. How’s this even an EWC with no SA or NA teams? Come on, guys. I know SA and NA teams aren't that good, but if you're calling it an EWC, you need at least one team from every continent or at least most of them.
