GotFrag recently announced two Quake Live tournaments, However, they where met with heavy criticism for taking a 64% rake.In the announcement for the two Quake Live tournaments, which consists of one duel and one clan arena tournament, the entry fee of 20 GameBattle credits or 12.99$ was mentioned.
The duel tournament which is to have 128 spots also has 600$ in the prize pot. Basic arithmetic shows that with 128 paying players the total cash purse should be 1662.72$, which means only 36% of the entry fee goes towards the prize pool. The clan arena tournament has similar numbers.
When the criticism reached their own site it was apparently quickly removed. SK-Gaming has unsuccessfully tried to reach GotFrag for a comment.

And GotFrag , honestly , i didn't expect refusing comments .
gotFrag you dissapointed me --'
is not the same as refusing a comment.
for me nuke a comment is like refuse a comment
Lets take a small example, you lose access to internet and after checking that the problem is not on your side you realize that you can not contact your ISP to find out what the problem is or when it will be fixed. Yea you will rage and your ISP will get a lot of shit, that is why ISPs like the one I use, Telia, let you call a number and get answer to that kind of question.
Sure different situation but still GotFrag as a company, and yes it was GotFrag that I tried to contact, are very easy to contact.
