€6,000 for DSRack LAN #3

20-10-2010 18:18

The total prize purse for DSRack LAN #3, is as expected set at €6,000, with €4,000 going to the winning team.

Last week we brought the story that only 25 teams had registered for the none-BYOC tournament at DSRack LAN #3, which according to the DSRack website would secure a €7,000 prize purse.

The tournament kicked off today, with 16 teams attending. To attend the tournament, teams had to pay a fee of €400, which adds up to €6,400 in total. The organizers have now announced that the tournament will feature €6,000 in total, with the detailed breakdown as follows:

1. €4,000
2. €1,500
3. €500

Despite the tournament being on hold, due to reconfiguring the network, DSRack LAN #3 has now resumed and you will now be able to follow the final matches, which will determine which teams will advance to the playoffs.

Also note that the playoffs will take place Thursday, meaning that Wednesday will only feature the group stage. Make sure to stay locked to HLTV.org for coverage of DSRack LAN #3.

LOL

2010-10-20 18:23

Well , okey it's " only " 6k. But , still it's money and I don't think pro players play only for the money..

dsrak title means nothing( mb just warmap for WEM. and 4000 for organisations like mtw or fnatic is low too. Still nice to see top teams playing each other

2010-10-20 18:30

Its cheap to travell to denmark. No need for expensive airtickets :P

2010-10-20 19:55

looks like a mess to me.

2010-10-20 18:27

By the end of the tournament the teams will find out that the prize distribution aren't prizes at all; but instead is how much each team owes DSRack for their placement in the finals. lol

If they have hosted such famous teams as the fnatic, Power Gaming, mTw, Lions, then I think they must make the appropriate prize.

2010-10-20 21:51

loooooool

2010-10-20 18:41

Worst LAN tour ever played.

2010-10-20 18:46

fnatic's water money.

2010-10-20 18:50

i got a word to say: fuck this lan :f

2010-10-20 19:18

Enough with the retarded comments. Prizes were lowered due to the lack of teams wanting to join and it got even lower because only 16 of the 25 teams that were supossed to attend actually showed up.

2010-10-20 19:22

guys u should read this comment its not FAIL by LanOrg, but by teams

2010-10-20 19:47

In which other big tournament (by No of teams & quality) you see the prize pool generated from participation fee ??

2010-10-20 21:18

CIC7 for example?

2010-10-20 22:32

you really think that for fnatic or mTw money is first priority to go to LAN? pathetic..

What is the main priority? Dsrak title doesnt mean anything, no money.so?

2010-10-20 20:44

just fan, another afterparty? denmark is very near sweden

2010-10-20 21:11

u think this is the case why teams coming to the tourney, especially pro teams? Sweden and Denmark is not far and the culture is pretty alike and i doubt parties differs a lot. If it would be somewhere in south america for instance it is more interesting for teams to get acquainted with culture, visit some sightseeing and so on.

2010-10-20 21:17

maybe the underdogs fist priority is to play lan with top teams and gain more exp etc.. but BELIEVE me fnatic and mtw need some cash :)

2010-10-20 20:50

they do earn a lot by salary and event prizes, one more wont make huge different

my poin is they expected to be like 20k or something , im sure that fnatic or mtw wont come for 4000euros

maybe they wouldnt, but I dont think so they are very angry about that

2010-10-20 21:12

haha ,i agree but only that the tournament is in Denmark

2010-10-20 21:14

lol ...

u know that this thing called "progaming" is about show sponsors.. so why fnatic wanna play this cup... because sponsors like MSI, Steelseries have huge advert
