Munya Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 THe prize is great, most tournaments need to go away from the shiny standard prize. Link to comment

londark Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) To be honest, for a Standard tourney this looks a little low, i've been buying everstones for 40K each, PP Max for 50K so in the end a more or less 600K prize doesn't look much appealing, to me at least. Anyway, happy to see lots of officials around EDIT: Also, don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining about the lack of shiny prize, i like the fact that this time around the prize is actually usefull Edited January 18, 2015 by londar Link to comment
ThinkNice Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Well I think the thing also is we will have A LOT of standard tournaments for a few months, so to not float the game with shinies things like 10x brace of choice or somethings could be cool too.

londark Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I was honestly thinking of Shards, but Braces work as well Link to comment
Gunthug Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I like the idea of the prize, but I think the value should at least match a mid-tier shiny. Standards are generally regarded as a true test of skill in the competitive environment, so why would a standard get a 600k prize when a gimmick rountinely gives 10m+? Hell, even the oceanic prize was about 5m worth. I would fucking love winning a tourney and getting even 2m worth of breeding supplies. but 600k is too low imo RysPicz, OrangeManiac and Phatman 3 Link to comment

Kiliminati Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Tranz I know you don't like OP prizes but... this is just... what Edit: Instead of just shitting on the prize you picked, maybe double the current PP Max and Everstone yield? Then it wouldn't be [i]all[/i] that bad. Edited January 19, 2015 by Kiliminati Link to comment

DoubleJ Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 wtf just happened with you two? For as long as I remember LYLE players were playing for glory and not prizes. I would honestly play myself but 24th January is my mom's bday and for like 90% I won't make it, good luck though to anyone who will participate :) =) Thank you forf brah, it's a good reminder on why we play this game. Unfortunately though, with my schedule I don't get the opportunity to play in many of these and the financial limitations are beyond difficult. While I do want to win, putting myself into a position to win costs money. Money I don't have. Thus the necessity for a beneficial prize has become more imminent on my decisions of when to sacrifice important study time to an official that will cost me about 200k in yen and 4-5 hours of time. On the prize itself, I would recommend a small bump. Giving out items is a really great idea with the number of officials available now, but this prize does seem a little bit small. This may be out of place, but I have a small recommendation. Host one weekly standard with a quality Shiny Prize (5+ value) and the other tournaments throughout the week should have prizes worth about 500k (10 everstones + 10 PP Ups for 1st and 2nd respectively). Once the other tiers are established we can go back to lower tier shiny prizes for each standard. Prizes for gimmicks can be established on difficult, commitment time, and the host.
