You honestly think so ? IF a 1k prize pool tourney , and the numbers who turn up is so low , I personally don't think that a 10k tourney is in place ,all the lower tier players or the people you mention would turn up. Instead i think the number of foreigners participating would be high . LoL

Like the recent Spotgamers tourney , the number of foreigners that turn up for the open qualifier last Saturday , was almost equal to the Malaysians that participated. What am i trying to say is ,the amount of Malaysians that even bother participating is pathetic .About the prize pool, is RM 1k big to the foreigners ? honestly no . Barely covers their accommodation and transportation , and this is taking into account in the event where you get first place , but the foreigners still did come down and had fun and compete .

Spotgamers even made it in a way where the top 16 gets rewarded , which is a good initiative by them , not to mention the lucky draws as well as freebies .
The platform is there , with tournaments popping up here and there , but what we are lacking are the players . How hard is it to join a tournament , be it as a casual or a competitive player ? its like another platform to get to know other players as well as socializing, apart from competing .


In short , no matter what the exposure is ,how big the tourneys are , if the community does not change their mindset like what radical mentioned , it would be futile as well .


I don't mean any offence to anyone , nor is it targeted towards any individual , just my thoughts after the 2 days event at spotgamers .

I still can't wait for the day where all the missing links would just turn up at a SC2 tourney , with a 64 player bracket .

I never mention anything about total dedication , everyone has their own social life / work life / student life etc . And just so you know , our Singapore counter parts , share with us that their recent tourney in singapore , with no prize pool , attracted a crowd of players to participate ranging from 30 to 40 people . am I not amazed lol.

On the other side , I do agree prize pool plays a role , but giving an example of rm10 for the prize pool is way out of line , sorry to say . but looking at the recent tourney of spot gamers , i do think their prize pool is decent for our SC2 community, 1000 for first , 700 for 2nd , 400 for 3rd, 250 for 4th, 150 from 5 to 8th and 75 9 -16th,but what are the numbers of Malaysian SC2 gamers that participated ? = /


Back to the table topic ,

And to SC gamers out there , if you guys want to play a part in disallowing the SC community from dying in Malaysia , for those who has free time during their weekend, do participate in the Taylors tournament , be it for the prize pool , the networking among start craft 2 players , or just go and grasp the feeling of competing among fellow Malaysian gamers . Cheers .

Its advertised on facebook as well their own website . it even has a thread on our SC2 forums as well as lowyat competitive gaming . Foreigners knows about the tourneys , and not malaysians ? Don't get me wrong , im not pointing fingers at anyone , but what im trying to say , alot of Malaysian sc2 players do frequent lowyat.net for guides /updates/tourneys etc, so i believe they have access to such Information
