$14,000 Milestone VII: Maximum Reached. ✔
As GCS2 is a donation funded group project not a single penny of profit will be made. Therefore we have set the finance limit to $14,000. Our funding above and beyond 12k will be spent on making the live event as good as it possibly can be and creating the best possible weekend for the viewers, staff, attendees, and players.
