"The top content creators with everything in the game will compete for stuff they already can use whenever they want in front of a nearly nonexistent viewer count, dealing with countless technical bugs and terrible casting."
Most of the top content creators happen to also be some of the best players. Whilst content creators do indeed get bonuses (as they contribute a lot to the game and also help promote it as well as expand the community), things like the E-100 and IS-7 are not common at all. As well as this, there is also the grand prize of a unique top tier machine for the winners. Going by the first day, viewer count was actually very good, things went very well and many improvements have been made since the last version. Whilst E-Sports may not be to everyone taste, this is simply extra content for people to enjoy :)
The E-100 is something they don't actually give out on a permanent basis to anyone who doesn't win a tourny. So while they can request a test drive of it to make a video they can't get it without a tournament. Makes the IS-7 a bit of a joke prize since they can get that. Also agree, the only reason its 1m GE is cus its pretty meaningless to any youtuber who has been playing WT for a while.
Did we learn anything from the last time this was tried? 😆
Yes, many improvements have been made and we look forward to a good, competitive tournament this time :)
is there anything for viewer?
Unique bonus codes will be given during each days steam for viewers :)
Free gulag ticket for viewers
jonasx10j, :) :) :)
rip. no giveaway= less viewers.
You don't get anything for watching it? I'll pass.
Just like the first one, there will be bonus codes for viewers. However if your only reasoning for watching the stream is getting something, thats entirely fine, but that would also mean its not aimed at you.
It's entertainment, you are supposed to "get" fun. If you aren't, then you are free to change the channel (by free, i mean "go to" and by channel I mean gulag)
Did anybody actually learn anything beyond what the title says in that promo video?
Can't wait for it to likely fail again, also having Shawn commentating is a big OOF. I'm not sure how many people like that guy, but I know I and many others don't.
