WEW Win $20,000 in Taiwan

Posted by NoToRiOuS at 15:16 12/8/2002.

US Clan, WEW (Weekend Warriors) recently disappeared to Taiwan to attend the HiNet tournament. They made it to the final and managed a 12-12 tie break, winning on total number of frags against Taiwanese clan Final Fantasy.

However the interesting thing I found was that WEW nearly won as much as SK winning the CPL ($25,000) though the competition was not as tough.

	iron 15:27 12/8/2002	the summer event was never intended to haev massive amounts of prize money, its the winter tournaments that do that, and the prize money will be the same as last year ( better ? ) in CPL winter. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	cpl 15:53 12/8/2002	A fair comparison can only be established if you determine what the total cash prize was for the entire tournament, not just what the top team received. I have not found this anywhere. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	cpl 17:54 12/8/2002	We finally got the answer: The entire tournament was $30,000 USD with the winner taking $20,000. And prizes were only for first, second and third place. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	NukeMasta 19:30 13/8/2002	yes if every1 wins money every1 is a winner top 4 should get money 50,000 , 25,000 , 15,000 and 10,000 in my opinion anyways. and the point of playing is to beat the best clans in the world at the CPL. noone apart from SK play for money but there losers [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
