Click on the link above; then scroll to the bottom, where all of the levels are listed on cards. Click on the supernova, and it will show you all of the benefits for the 200, 300, 400k, etc. levels.

I don't see any rewards yet for the 200,000 vpps +.

It looks like the reward bonus only....

Based on what Scotty said I think this is it (no extra platinum or supernova tournaments). Which basically means that although they're giving more away on a week by week basis, the value for the top tier players will likely be diluted - especially at the Supernova level. - I suspect the strategy suggests they are moving away from the freerolls as a primary reward for Supernovas and instead are going to concentrate on the higher level rewards for 200,000 vpps +

no more incentive for me to reach platinum every month. lol

Looking at it in a different way - Stars is going to spend over $5M on these freerols in a year (counting daily tourneys too). That is way more than last year. So somebody should be getting this extra value.

I expect it will be more like $50/week EV. Not huge but not bad extra either.

[MicroBob]

Given how many are in the last of the SN weeekly freerolls today, and the lousy value of all the other weeklies,
$50 is about the same.

Plus an extra $20 or so for the monthly $100k.

But it's scheduled WAY more conveniently than playing all the freerolls including the silly SilverStar $2500.

the $100k monthy VIP freeroll has 5,500 entrants today. a whopping $18 buy-in. yippee
