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 wanna play on PS!

[MicroBob]

Yeah, I will glady pay a few thousand FPP's to NOT have the SN recognition thing on my avatar.

Stars - PLEASE reconsider this. At least make it optional.


Supernovas are your top players and you should be listening to their requests.
I can imagine a lot of SN's are like me and really don't want to be 'outed' like this.

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.

it wont be high volume players that could care less about $5 in tourney EV

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

It looks like the reward bonus only....

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