Sc00t about Prizes in QL Tournaments (50 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by avec @ 12:30 CDT, 27 June 2011 - iMsg

LowLandLions player

Sc00t has posted his second column on PlayQuake.

This time the subject concerns the payout of prizes in Quake Live. Do the players get what they are owed, who pays up and who doesn't. Here is an excerpt:

Many people heard stories about the CPL not paying out their prizes of the World Tour. It happens more often than I think the spectators do know of, so this article will be about prizes that I have won and how long passed until I received the prize.

Check out of the full column at PlayQuake.com.
