To answer your question bluntly - yes we do.

ACL costs a lot of money to operate and I can guarantee you we don't make anywhere near enough from the entry fees to cover those costs. Without exposure and expansion, we won't attract additional stakeholders. We're fortunate to have organisations like Plantronics and Tt eSports throwing money into these events, because without them, the whole thing would not be possible. 90% of ACL is funded from the wallets of ACL management. I'm not at liberty to go into any further detail, but we are far from sustainable and we have a long way to go before ACL begins to pay for itself.

This is why most events try to piggyback off other events, to avoid paying venue hire fees.
