What's kwik's solution? You just wish the sponsor offered this money to 2 other players? Or you want viper and daut to play but up the prize pool to 10k? That would be so awesome for the aoc community! :crazy:
I have said this in previous posts, a series between a challenger like Slam/MBL/Nicov vs Viper/DauT would be much more meaningful, real and have more stakes.
10k has more potential than 2k but if Viper is going to split money anyways with friend then how does it really matter. I just can't see a friendly series to be one where both the guys are pushing real hard.
There was a recent 3v3 series MBL+Lierry+Heartt vs Viper+DauT+? And you could see on MBL stream that they really tried hard and was elated after winning.
Same reason I was never excited about internal tyrant matches because it smells friendly.
