Smash Master
So I guess after such a long, illustrious Melee career, Ken and Manacloud decided to go out in style: with thousands of dollars from Smashers.
In case you haven't heard yet, OC3 was the biggest scam since V Games, and I think the name "Zero Challenge" ended up being fitting since $0 was roughly what 280 players who paid at least $75 each were playing for.
In case you haven't seen:
I've been saying this since I first saw Manacloud on these boards: He's an *******, a liar, and one of the greediest people I've ever known. This is just outright evidence of it.
And now for an ironic quote:

In case you haven't seen:
Summary: Manacloud said it would be $25 for one-day spectators, and then charged a one-day spectator $50I'd just like to point out that on page 101 of this thread Mana himself said for one day 25$
For those who were there sunday, thank you for helping by donating the 50 dollars Mana charged Nezumi to spectate
I think everyone knows the situation, and Rickety as witness, we offered 25$ and he refused to accept that saying "we can't bend the rules for anyone"....
I just want to know what she did to deserve being treated like how she was
All that aside, good job everyone
Summary: After overestimating every single cost to Ken and Mana, there is still close to $6000 unaccounted for.Plairnkk's Oc3 Breakdown!
Hi guys!!!!! How are you all doing? I bet really well if your name is Ken or Manacloud.
Who wants to get together and break down the Oc3 prize pot? Oh, I do, I do!!
So here we go. There were 280 entrants in Oc3. The entry fee was $75 if you registered online, $100 on the door. But hey, I'll be nice. I'm just going to assume everyone only paid $75.
280 participants x $75 = $21,000.
Okay so that's a solid $21,000 in the pot.
Now i'm going to be nice and not add in any money gained from selling Tshirts or from spectator passes or donations, even though I know they gained money that way. So let's just try to break down this $21,000.
Event Payouts:
Singles
First place: Pc Chris: $1200
Second place: M2K: $600
Third place:Chu: $300
Singles payout: $2100
Teams
First place: King+Isai: $1200 - 600 a piece
Second place: Ken+Bombsoldier: $600 - 300 a piece
Third place: SS+Tang: $300 - 150 a piece
Teams payout: $2100
Total event payout: $4200
Recap: $4200/$21,000
Venue:
So I must say, there is no way in hell that venue cost $6k for 3 days. That's a blatant lie. But hey, let's pretend it does. (Note, the *pound* 2 venue cost $900 for 2 days)
Recap: $10200/$21,000
Food:
Food for two days at *pound* 2 costed me $500, so i'll just go out on a limb and say 3 days worth of food for this tournament cost $2k.
Recap: $12,200/$21,000
Bombsoldier and Disc plane tickets:
After asking plenty of sources, an average ticket from US to Japan usually costs $1000. So lets be fair, and place the prices at $1,500 for each tickets.
Bombsoldier+Disc tickets (which we really shouldn't be paying for anyway) : $3000
Recap: $15,200/$21,000
Okay so...
I've grossly overpriced everything here, and there still seems to somehow, be $5800 missing. Hmmm, Manacloud, Ken, any input here? You guys should post some documented proof as to where the money went just so myself, the rest of the smash community, and more more importantly, those who won the prizes can see why exactly at the biggest smash tournament ever they got such poor prizes.
Summary: Mew2King, after getting 2nd in the biggest Smash tournament ever, paying hundreds for flights and paying $75 for entrance fee was given only $200 in prizes.InfernoOmni said:InfernoOmni (18:58): good job friend
