One special change this year to OTG is we're introducing a CA SH prize! This will start at a $500 minimum\, ba cked by Orbital Tangent and the take on tickets.

The $500 guaranteed amo unt is winner-take-all\, but should attendance increase prize pot we will be considering (and announcing!) some additional splits.

We know that cash is a contentious topic\, but rest assured: We have no qualms about kicking out cheaters and bad actors to keep th is tournament a chill\, vibes based event like it always has been.
