Philosopher, we had a quick conversation about it before and it is good to bring it to everybody's attention. SeaCraft Weeklies are "public property", everybody likes it and reaches its ultimate goal: assist rising stars to get their career up and running.
Of course we will find a solution for it, but until we come to how much can be spent on each tournament, try to answer the 2 important questions people already asked:
- Can the prize pool be smaller? Will it negatively impact in any way?
- Can the tournament be every 2 weeks, or 3, or monthly? Negative impacts?
I don't understand a thing about tournaments except watching them, but I feel comfortable to give a couple of suggestions. Does SeaCraft TV make something out of this large effort? No? Maybe make some cool merchandise from the brand, like t-shirts or whatever aussies and fans would like to consume? Are there any other tournaments that are exclusively sponsored privately, because I haven't heard of any other?
Rest assured that SeaCraftTV will not be over, it just needs some adjustments and maybe it has come the time to transition it from passion to work, in the sense that it must bring something to the table (it probably does and I just don't know). I will assist, just need to think how to fit it into my "esports budget".
Having this open conversation is very good, people might have great ideas but no opportunity to show them.
