So hypothetical question, if someone ran a series of bracketed tournament's Corp Vs. Corp with the winning corp taking a prize.

What would be the value(detail's please) that would make you actually field a team and play?

A long time ago there was a TW league, it was a great idea that died somehow, funding or otherwise. I don't purpose revisiting a "league", but maybe a bracketed Corp vs. Corp, king of the mountain, winner takes all tournament.

LMK

Edit: I'm thinking round-robin game format, bracketed, winner takes all. But would need to see some real interest in a cash or prize game.

Yeah, I remember that. I think they were trying to have a registration fee to join the league, then the larger the registrations the bigger the "pot" and the larger the prize they could offer.

So what would motivate you to put together and compete with a team? Im not interested in the league outside the format of corp vs corp or player vs player.

The "prize" would be self funded.. No insight for this thread?

I'd do it for glory alone. But the biggest factor is the game settings. Are we talking turns or unlims?
