@Paraducks_GB guaranteed prize money 100%. the amount of hours spent for qualification isn't worth for anyone but people that reach top32. putting in that much time to earn 0 is the biggest turn-off right now. Also change from conquest to lhs because it's the superior format.
@hsdecktech@JNytemarePierce Yet he managed to almost mathematically lose just by being paired against the only two opponents with a favored lineup.
