It would:- Make it harder for recs to win seats.
- Cannibalise recs bankrolls.
- Take money from the main event prizepool.
- Make the UO main event harder.
- Begin to attract the pro satellite grinders with their books (yes books) of ICM charts. They made the Stars satties thin value and no fun - let's not encourage them.
All the best and look forward to seeing you again at a UO soon.
Believe me as a former sat grinder that allowing a 2nd seat to be won wouldn't attract this type of grinder. The value as a $T grinder comes from the guys who win 5-15 packages. No T grinder would even consider making the switch to Unibet for allowing a 2nd seat plus this second seat is to be played via the H.R which is not something T grinders do. Many on Stars don't even bother attending the actual Live event.
For players out of Country (or across the ocean
) attending a Live event that is a 3k buy in (1k main +2k H.R) makes it a lot harder to justify when the cost of the trip (for pond jumpers) will be about 1k euro in travel/expenses etc.
Allowing a 2nd seat to be won online (to be exclusively used in the H.R) would def. make me go from attending 1 UO trip a year to all 4.
And I def. hope to meet up with you again in London. Should be a good time.
