Why have you decided to change bng to aerial? I think more ppl know bng and it would be nice to have another classic scheme with these two i guess
After I gave a substantial amount back to oldsock(it was my idea), we decided to keep the most skill based and non-manipulative schemes(BnG, notching), while also having 1 of each category of schemes.
TTRR/Elite were always the first 2 choices as those were the Cups I wanted to host with my own funding anyway, would have just been later. Also, Aerial is more enjoyable to watch in general than BnG unless you are a fanatic and the players are very highly skilled.
I informed TheWalrus about the decrease in prize pool money and it was his decision to spread the prize pool money to the already existing events, I liked that idea so put my money there too.
Edit - Also, since these events won't start until CWT 2021 ends, we still have a lot of time to potentially change things.
