is it worth praising a team with former Norex gaming pro players who have been playing since ECL season 1? the neo is reserved for new players. It's making fun of the world. well done NHLgamer

Neo is for players who don’t want to pay participation fee .

For all the Lite/Core guys next year when you watch yanks come over to play in World Finals at least you can get some sense of accomplishment knowing you paid for those flights and 5* hotels.

How ungrateful some of you guys are here? 

I don't see why it is such a big deal for people to pay a small 40€ fee for a one year license. You have been given an opportunity for 5+ years to compete and challenge the best in the NHL for free to this date. SportsGamer was a hobby for the organizers, but due to increasing amount of work a hobby became a job. SportsGamer is a company that has employees, and organizing tournaments of this quality is a full time job, and the people who are organizing these tournaments have families to feed.

Don't buy two 24 packs of beer this weekend, and practice CHEL instead and there is your license. 

 

High paying job by the looks of it .

All is possible. My point was - there is always an explanation to some actions. Maybe Kenu just have to write it straight - I want a Ferrari. Then everyone will understand and pay the fee with no further questions))))))))

No one expects this to operate for free , we just want to know reasoning for such a steap increase. You have to understand that 80% of this community won’t see any changes what so ever and the excuses we have heard so far are “bollocks” for a average non Elite ,Pro player. You know something is wrong when they start charging total beginners (Neo ) for let’s be honest joining the community . If servers are struggling with influx of new players over the years then I agree this will definitely cleanse them not even talking about new “subscribers “ , pardon community members

If you compare it to the cost of the game the license is more expensive than the game was for me. 🙃

And i want to know how 40€ will change our experience in Core ? Imagine asking someone to be a backup goalie for few games .and pay all these licenses.

It turns out I buy a player's license, and then I still have to raise money together with the team for a license for the team or the money I paid as a license for the player, go to the team? @Kenu

You buy players licence and then you pay Team licence . They are seperate . Players licence for all the broadcasting , hosting and few articles a month covering Elite . Team licences for prize pool , broadcasting , hosting and few articles a month covering Elite . For some people it does make sense believe it or not .

Ok without knowing anything what is going on in the background or taking a stand here are some numbers from Pro division point of view:

5500€ prize pool

300€ per team x 32 teams = 

9600€

 

+ 20€/player x 7 players (at least) x 32 = 4480€

 

Equals to 14080€ compared to 5500€ prize pool.

 

Wait till someone takes out calculator for Lite and Core , that is where it gets really interesting

I wouldn't be against this myself.

Are there any players (Lite/Neo) that still thin fighting should be allowed?

No
