Just one question, why is it teams that are interested in participating need to pay the rm100 registration fees, you said that the team that won will be fully sponsored by SMM and In2, and I don't see any reason why any registration fees are needed here since you guys wont give out any prizes in terms of cash and trophy. 18 teams, thats a total of rm1800. Do you mind to explain how this rm1800 will be use to fund the qualifier? Cybertime being one of the biggest lanshop in Malaysia and being the sponsor of the best team around are not willing to fork up some of the pcs to held a qualifier?
That is a total joke. Unless you tell us that the money will be use to pay the marshall who will be very dedicated to host the event. Plus another point is why arent any other teams allowed to join this qualifier? I remember there are another quite decent cybertime team around, and I dont see them in the list. The fact is, if you are charging rm100 per team, then it should be open to public, correct me if I'm wrong, I just think that this qualifier is out of the point where it had been too commercialized instead of for the well being of the community.
What SMM and In2 sponsor is the fees to Sg
But to held the qualifier there is no fund for it so all the money that is collected will be paid for management fees, marshal fees, venue booking and etc.
We hope u all will understand that we held this qualifier to give more chances to top seeded team and not just 1.
We also wish to open it to public but due to time restraining factor we aren't able to do so.
If we do not held a qualifier then the management will pick a representing team and that wont be fair to other able top teams, right?
We would hope you all to understand our situation. Anyway all fans and public are invited to come and watch the match.
Thank you.
Good luck to all the participating teams.
