Blizzcon eSports Prize Pool
I know a lot of people don't care about eSports. But the fact that Blizzard is not contributing their normal $500k to the AWC finals, or MDI is really scummy. When they said buying the toys would contribute to the prize pool, they made it seem like it would be on top of the $500k they normally contribute. Instead they are only using the money made from the toys, and only 25% of the total, for the prize pool.They made over $2.5 mil from those toys. And are only spending $660k. So by selling these toys that people bought so they could get the competitors a bigger prize pool, they are making over $1.8 mil. And the competitors are only getting an extra $160k split between the 2 eSports.Seems pretty messed up.
