Kayane Needs Your Help to Get to Tougeki SBO (Japan)

I wasn't trying to be negative. Just as an example - I can take $60 and go to a casino and win $5000 and get paid the same day for winning a daily poker tournament. It takes about 6-8 hours to win that tournament, and is probably more difficult.

From what I've read, it sounds like the payment mechanism for some of these tournaments is more in line with sweepstakes winnings, where it takes months to get paid. That doesn't seem very legitimate to me in comparison to other sports.

It sounds like an organizational, marketing and business management issue. If you want to be taken seriously, why not create a Player's Association? Have a group of representatives discuss the challenges that gamers face, with Sponsors/Advertisers and the game developers.

Or has this been done already?
 
Just want to note that, for all the naysayers, it's people money. While you say all of this, just realize that many who could have been put in the same situation as Kayane would not have received so much support so quickly (and I doubt there would have been as many, if any, vanguards of righteousness).

Still, everyone should rejoice in the fact that, not even a day later, Kayane received the funds she needed.

Kayane - You had better kick ass.

You too, ShenYu!

I know there used to be an organazation that did that. the NVGCA or something like that. Im not sure of whats going on with them. But this is a fantastic idea. The players need some kind of representation to make sure they are given what they earned. This might not be the time or thread for this. But a fantastic idea.
