Just a few observations:

Fact 1:
- Esr ppl LOVE to bet, because its the only actual way how they could interact with the ongoing battles of the pros.
Fact 2:
- Fans are the only sponsors for qlive now, but those rare "campaigns" are very short-termed, focused only on a few names and the main thing - they lack ENTARTAIMENT and feedback, something that will award the participants and gather the bigger bucks during the whole year.

Conclusion:
- What if we come up with the money-betting system for qlive? The main feature of that system will be constantly generating flow of $ (like, idk, 15% of all each cup's bets) which will fill the special fond for sponsoring lans and help quakers that we love, like ash, demon, pavel, tox, seven... agent))) to visit moar lans.
Some well-trusted people, like Memento, could deal with the money, so nobody will even think of a fraud.

I would bet a few bucks on a ql-horses. What about you?
