Its non-byoc I'm pretty sure, and the travel support and waived-entry fee is pretty good for the qualifier. At $20 a person, I dont think that's too yikes tbh.

That's not yikes at all considering the prizes they are giving out and if you make top 8, you're pretty much attending a non-BYOC LAN for free.
