As I understand it, regardless of the size of the fee, these are not the most popular pools (not like the Premier League or the Champions League) and it seems to me that all regular participants will participate here in any case.
Premier league pool is most popular, but Champions league had meaningful number of participants first time this season
in previous seasons, Champions league could not get sponsorship, and was played between several participants, around 10 or something, just for fun
seems that I am the only one that is thinking about 1.5mBTC fee, just wanted to say that I will play no matter fee, but prefer it to be 1.5mBTC, not just because this pool, I am playing at least 7-8 per season, and it mount some difference in the end (although that difference does not make it to want to cut some pools)
