Best I got so, this post will be linked in OP. Thanks!
...or Capcom can go to IGN like the rumors say and everyone besides MLG is happy.

Yeah the rumors are that DOA (sort of confirmed by Art in a stream) and UMvC3 might be exclusive for IGN.

But then why is Capcom happy to work with IPL but not MLG? If IPL does get UMvC3 it's evidence that Capcom isn't as anti-ESports as MLG claims, nor are their minds poisoned by the evil villians running EVO. MLG is just doing a terrible job selling themselves, to Capcom and to the FGC. If they wake up and do a better job selling themselves having Capcom games is still a possibilty.

IRRC After shock is 2/3 sets 2/3 matches so it should be
A vs A (2/3)
B vs B (2/3)
etc...
Until NorCal or SoCal wins. Then it's 1-0 for either SoCal or Norcal then we do the whole damn thing again. If team that is up 1-0 wins they win 2-0, if other team win then it's 1-1 and we do the whole damn thing again.

It's all that Gootalks is about.
MLG claiming Capcom is anti-eSports is baseless slander. They have bad blood. Negotiations never worked out and instead of rebuilding, they decide to keep burning bridges with Capcom. Why should Capcom go with MLG instead of IPL if they continue down this road? Why, when they can put their own money up, get the communities help, and make their own tournament series for the 25th anniversary and do a better job than MLG ever could, especially considering how bad they've handled their fighting game events thus far?
At this point I don't understand why MLG has to be part of the equation when they have alternative choices that they can start fresh with who don't continually sour their own reputation and present themselves as they do.
EDIT: WesternHeretic I'll add your post to OP too. Thanks a ton!

Was it MLG that called fighting game players a bunch of button mashers?
That was Dreamhack.
Honestly there is nothing stopping MLG from running Capcom games but MLG wants Capcom to give them a license (like Blizzard does) to run the game. I believe MLG will also require Capcom to give money to run the event (for the pot)
Dreamhack just runs the game and put up their own money up.

I think it was guys at an MLG event, not MLG themselves.

Saw this earlier. Some weird choices in there if I'm honest.
At least he put in the absolutely insane Dormammu combo by Zak Bennett. I was not aware Dorm was capable of such nonsense.

Machinima is doing a SF VS MK thing and MK is bodying SF with the casual crowd in the comment section.

MLG really is fucking up the fighting games part hard. SC2 is losing popularity and viewers even with the expansion coming out, and they're gonna have to ride LoL and pickup DOTA2 (unless Blizzard and Riot put pressure on them not to) in order to keep their business at the level its at now. They could've turned the fighting game competition into a big part of their tournies but thats never going to happen at this rate.

Armshouse commentary is top tier.
I think fighting games work well at MLG; I think MLG is completely incompatible with the FGC, though.
No more Based Haunts?

MLG has canceled the FG Arena for MK and SC5. Very disappointing news and a bad omen for competitive MK. I feel ripped off, I earned that trip to NY.
I hope you're joking. This is terrible.
Oh my days! A hater!
Not surprised, to be honest. Keep your chin up though.
Death.

Supposedly they only had something like under 30 entrants for SC5.
TYM folks seem to be in a "saddened but not necessarily surprised" state.

Maybe they will wait for after Dallas and run Arena with MK and Tekken.
Oh really? Is Colorado THE state for Tekken? My friend was saying it's like all anyone plays in Alaska as far as fighters.
I wish I wasn't such a busy fuck so I could come out to more gatherings, but full time gig and full time student + juggling a girlfriend = no time for games.
I'm massively out of the loop on any FGC related shit.(Didn't find out Gootecks was back until like a month/two after he came back to it)
I'm not sure how IPW works, but aren't you the one who started it up? Is the TeamSpooky collaboration still going to remain in effect?
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! ARE YOU MOVING TO MEXICO TO GO FULL TIME KOF LORD ON US?! ; ;
