5 TEAMS ENTERED THE TOURNAMENT AND GRAND FINAL WAS FOREFEITED. It was a tournament of 2 series. Put the money into good use instead. Smh. Sponsor a yt channel to talk about the game and give out access to the game. Or reddit. Or any media medium. You're wasting money while there is absolutely no adveritising.

A pre-roll ad on Twitch would be played to millions of people in the target audience every single day. There is absolutely no where else they are going to find that kind of ad value.
To me, keeping the tournaments going is fine. It's gives the devs a look at what an organized, practiced competitive Crucible game plays like. The problem is they haven't iterated on the game at all. They are being fed this information and haven't made changes to see if they can make the game better in that environment. Maybe they are doing that internally, I don't know, but it's been awfully quiet for quite some time. Maybe that two grand could go to an employee incentive to come up with innovative new features for the game, similar to a hackathon. The tournaments and their payout aren't really the problem, it's more that, seemingly, little visible progress is being made with the information from the tournaments.
We're looking at the tournaments (and feedback from them) every week. We have some projects in the works to address player feedback while in Closed Beta; you can check out our roadmap here: https://trello.com/b/zS6QIJfM/crucible-beta-roadmap
If there are are things you think are missing from the roadmap, let us know in the feedback thread for the weekly Closed Beta test! We appreciate all the feedback we can get.
