            Questions:

    1. Would you join a buy-in league?
    2. How much would you be ready to pay for being part of a buy-in league?
    3. Would you expect to win this league and regain the money or the full prize?
    4. What sort of sum would be acceptable as the prize in the first season of the buy-in league?
    5. How would you expect the prize pool to be split between the teams in the league?
    6. How long of a season would you expect in a buy-in league?
    7. How often would you participate in a buy-in league?
    8. If the league was separate from the ECL, would you then prioritize it over the ECL?
    9. Do you think ECL should be a buy-in league?
    10. Do you think certain divisions should be buy-in, such as ECL Elite?
    11. Hypothetically, say ECL Elite and Pro had buy-ins - what would stop an Elite caliber team for signing up for Pro in order to get "an easy" tournament win and prize money?
    12. If you are against buy-ins or on the fence about the topic - what would be a small enough amount for you to join and still be able to have fun?

    1. Yes.

    2. Not really matter, 50€ for example.

    3. Ofc.

    4. Hard to say, I just want Buy-In League so maybe you can give us few options (basic poll) and then all participants can vote for the best one. ;)

    5. Same as Question 4.

    6. I like ECL format so it depends how many teams we will get into it. So not really matter. 2-3 months is good.

    7. As often as people want. Two or three times in a year I guess.

    8. Yes because all I care is to play that League which include prizes.

    9. I don't care what the League name is. You need to offer League without prizes (just for fun) and League with prizes. Just keep these Divisions and add additional Division called MoneyLeague or something. Elite will take damage but it will take it anyway if people change community because of you are not offering prizes. eSM 6v6 is awesome thing but how about people outside Finland? And yes, I read that article. But they need also prizes for autumn, I can see that frustration already...

    10. Kind of same as Question 9. At the end, I don't care how do you guys will add Buy-In League or MoneyLeague or Prizes. Just do it. :D I don't see it would be bad thing to this community, adding at least optional Buy-In League alongside of regular ECL. Yes, I repeat myself with this.

    11. Thats why it need to be separate Buy-In League or only for ECL Elite. Or then ECL Pro Prize pool need to be so much lower than Elite Prize pool. Hard question this is, T. Yoda.

  2. Great post my Mr. non-white! I agree with everything. 😉

    I think it should be more about getting sponsors to provide prizes for the tournaments,  same we had in last Summer Cup. In my opinion iff we now implemented a buy-in in order to be able to play, we would probably see some decrease in the number of teams attending the tournaments. And I don't think that's a good thing at this point, when the community is still seeing fast growth.

    As @jtorro1233 said, there is a big number of players who do not want to pay anymore than the price of the game itself. And consequently, in my opinion there are still big skill caps inside Lite, Pro and Elite,  which could to some extent decrease the motivation of "worse" teams to attend tournaments if they needed to pay for it.

    That's why NHLGamer need to offer both. What else that can be? We need League without a money (or those current divisions) and then also we need (want) League with a money. Remember people, idea is not change everything under Buy-Ins, money and stuff. With that kind of thing NHLGamer would only drive people away. So yes I'm pretty sure NHLGamer can offer both in future so we can keep all the current players here and say warm welcome to the new players! In my mind, that's the most ideal thing.

    Throwing cheap shots and making thinly veiled threats is not the best way to get your point across, but discussion is never a bad thing.

    It's all about how you read and how you think. Maybe there is a little bit frustration among the Elite players because we have waited for a long time something to happen. So this kind of opening post is only good, imo. Straight talk, no doubt. Nothing against NHLGamer, you guys are doing hard and valued work. It's just... Players who are interested about the money, deserve to know where we are and where we are going at the moment.

    1) "Beer league" style: Have players drop a buy-in fee and distribute the pool to the winners, which will ultimately prevent new players and teams from signing up, creating a locked circle just to please a small group of 2-3 top tier teams. That's the easy solution you would choose, and it comes with a ridiculous amount of drawbacks. In my opinion, it is not an option for ECL - our prime league - but it is something to be considered for other occasions!

    2) "Professional league" style: Thanks to players' dedication, we are seeing hundreds of returning viewers on NHLGamerTwitch and teams' Twitch channels, we have seen a partnership with one of Europe's biggest retail brands, we have seen eSM live events hosted by NHLGamer. External brands love visibility, and by now we have created a platform that offers plenty of it, generating lots of interest from outside. This is the long term goal we have been working towards for years, and I also think the time is right for NHL 19. We're shooting for partners that we believe fit the NHLGamer brand best on our way to becoming a professional league - not some shady electronics store selling no-name chinese products or some apparel brand that has already disappeared by now. We have a very clear strategy in mind to giving you - the players - what you are looking for, and we're not going to be distracted by any outsiders. Me and especially @Kenu have been putting in hundreds of hours of work into making ECL become a professional league soon, because we love what we are doing and believe we are able to make it come to life.

    Imo, if we are thinking about upcoming autumn and NHL 19, that "Beer league" style is way more better than playing current style ECL without any prizes at the end. If we just can get enough player/teams who are ready to pay to participate, I will take that BeerLeague every time instead of regular ECL without prizes. And as long as there is no that "Professional league" style, there should be at least optional BeerLeague a.k.a Buy-In League alongside of regular ECL. I appreciate your dreams and hard work with Kenu but I'm a player and at the moment my feeling is I just wanna search for 6v6 Moneyleague what to play in NHL 19 and if it's not here, then I will look for other options. And if some people need to leave NHLGamer to play MoneyLeague (it's not what I want), I think those players can come back when this NHLGamer is "Professional League". ;)

    I'm very excited and can't wait what NHLGamer will tell us in near future. Interesting summer coming, really interesting...
