So, still no word on what
these additional prizes are and we're about to hit the finals. Poll
up for you to decide. Come on Dance and Yoott, so it's written, so
it shall be. Feel free to give your thought below fellow
SilverstarsCaptain_Judo: We would've liked to have had this definitive by now, but
I've been given the approval to announce! The additional
prize is (drum roll) - an in-game achievement/medal displaying your
standing (1st, 2nd or 3rd) in your respective league. From past
experience, these medals take some time to display in your public
profile. But we're working with our dev team to accomplish this.

place teams over those that lost in the quarterfinals? Seems odd
that finishing 8th should be the same as finishing 3rd...Captain_Judo: The Silver League has always used regular season standings
to determine final standing over teams eliminated in the same
playoff round. As for 'teams being rewarded the same from
3rd - 8th', this came about as means of preventing gold farming in
the Silver League. During the first three iterations of the Silver
League, we found teams complacent to stay at this level to "farm
gold". Of course, this contradicts the league's design of
funneling the best competition. The current prizing
structure awards the biggest prize to teams qualifying to the
Gold League. So you win your 10k gold for 3rd-8th and you win at
least *50k gold for simply qualifying to the Gold League.
*I've been reminded to stipulate that 1st - 4th don't
win gold but win cash, 5th - 8th win cash & gold, 9th - 16th win
only gold.

Sorry, Caza isn't on the list. It was done based on season
standing. Still though, third and fourth getting shafted vis-a-vis
bronze is still uncool. If this were the eu league, This Terrible
Team would have earned ~$3657.50 USD. (In actual money) They
instead 'won' less than $500 for still being in the top 20 most
competitive teams in the Americas. I'm sure they could at least
sweeten the pot a bit. Captain_Judo: I believe you need to rework those figures. Prizing in WGLEU
is calculated weekly and summed as your overall prize at the end of
the season. Also remember that the cash is awarded as a pool,
so it's split among your teammates. This is not the case with
in-game gold which we award individually. As I'm sure
you're aware, the WGLEU format is very different to the WGLNA
leagues.
