Well this is great, but why are the qw prizes less than q3 ? (shared between two people), and it's kind of sad to not have a 1on1 tournament...
2008-09-19, 17:26
i'm actually surprised the qw 2on2 prizes are bigger than q3 1v1 prizes

i thought they would be the same or less for qw

unfortunately i will not be able to attend

The prizes are not smaller on qw when you think of it:
All 3 tourneys have 32 players, but qw is 2on2.
So in q3 you got a chance of 1/32 of winning,
while in qw you share the prize with someone else but get a chance of 1/16 in return.

Now is the time to make some money on your skills. Any div0 player best be ready.

I bet that some of the top qw'ers should be able to do well in the CPM tourney

Looking at the signups for CPM there are many good players already, so i'm not sure Zalon.
