Cash Tournament Survey / Question
I'm interested in getting into holding DotA2 tournaments. I can put up $500 cash for the winning team (winner takes all, single elimination) I'd use something like Toornament for the bracket and would pay cash directly via Venmo or something. Basically, I want to learn all the things I dont know at a somewhat small scale so that when I fuck something up, the stakes are low. The question is... is that enough of a purse to attract at least 8 teams? 40 players? What questions should I be asking? Any tips from anyone that's done something like this are super appreciated!

Just make sure your target teams are from similar time zones other wise its very difficult to hold a tournament at every one's convenience. Also you should be clear about the server you're intending to use so that there aren't any ping complaints further into the tournament. Be very transparent about the prize pool and try to give teams benefit of the doubt where it would be a little unfair to follow the rulebook.
Good advice. Thank you. I'm in Los Angeles, but the DOTA scene here is pretty grim. Feels like SEA servers would get the most players.
It's going to be difficult for you to coordinate a tournament in SEA from another corner of the world but I wish you the best!
