Please change it back because i can tell you know you just lost the CoD competition and most of CSS Not all Lans will offer cash as a prize, you will notice most BYOPC lans in Australia offer prizes that are donated from sponsors. We also get quite a bit of feedback about our prize offerings and most responses i have received prefer physical prizes to cash. This is not to say we will stop offering cash prizes for the future. This event Respawn has received quite a bit of sponsor attention and as such we are offering some quite high value prizes. have you gotten feedback from the people that actually win the major competitions, or from people who bomb out first round because they dont even play the game? i can tell you, almost any, if not every team that will actually win one of your larger comps, will not want those prizes, and would prefer cash prizes

i can tell you, almost any, if not every team that will actually win one of your larger comps, will not want those prizes, and would prefer cash prizes Hi, We typically base this on feedback we have received from gamers who have voiced their opinions to us, either during the event, after the event, through forums and so on. Furthermore, many LAN gaming events now and in the past have frequently awarded product - not cash - to the competition winners. Our sponsors have gone all-out this event and have gathered the largest prize pool that either competition has ever seen. The prizes they have supplied are of high quality. Unfortunately, we aren't able to suppliment these prizes with cash at this time as we've run into issues in the past where players who have registered and confirmed simply did not show. This has proven to be unprofitable in the medium term which makes Respawn LAN unviable. To be perfectly honest, we (and everyone else we spoke to) have suggested that these prizes not only kick some serious ass this time around but that winning prizes was the preferred award. We run the event at no financial gain to any person on the team including myself. We don't see a cent of this money and we pour endless hours of effort into this event to make it what it is today. We regret that you don't find our prize offerings acceptable for this event however I do hope that whoever wins the respective competitions is appreciative of both their awards and their own personal success. -z.
