Because it only takes one Magnum confirm or him setting up Lethal Lava Land to make the entire cast look low tier.
Increasing the entry free only benefits the handful of people who have a chance at winning a tournament, and whatever increase you make will just be negated by the amount of people you will lose in entrants.
But the entry fee directly funds the pot, so if you do a deal like that, then you are going to screw the pots for other games. The money has to come from somewhere.
ChrisG to win EVO 2k14 confirmed then.

Yes probably.
Zak is Y2J
I concur with that Cloud really is this year Infrit. I hope we get to see more of him.
Holy crap I just saw the Assist Me season 3 (final season) trailer:

People are already spending hundred of dollars to go to EVO. An increase in entry fees by $10 will make little difference. You'll probably lose a few entries from people who enter games they don't play but that's about it.

By Infrit I meant the easy bracket part.
nvm looked at the brackets.
Forgot he beat rayray and Ranmasama

Some sadder non-EVO related news; Starbase Arcade, where the weekly IPW streams used to be held, is closing after 30 years

Maybe ChrisG should have gone to those house of crack sessions after all.
Sounds like it?

Pertinent to the "FGC needs bigger sponsors" conversation:
https://twitter.com/DrPepperGaming/status/356540288220667906
Doesn't mean a lot but it's nice to know that bigger sponsors are taking notice. I think it's more than possible for Evo to land a biggish sponsor for next year.

God's Beard EVO 2014 let's go!
Dr.Pepper was a prominent sponsor at MLG last year- they do stuff with E-sports.
Maybe TFC should aim for a sponsorship with Cheerwine.
People spend alot of money to go to EVO, but that doesn't mean that they are just going to throw away money on a tournament that they have no chance in winning. Just look at how long the tournament entry fee has been $10 and hasn't increased.
You will lose alot of the random people who just enters a tournament for the fun of it.

That stinks. I only went there about 3-4 times since I lived in the North Bay. There is not a lot of foot traffic there.

hah exactly
i was gonna say, I dont think Cloud is in that Classification. besides, he beat FChamp, and he played really smart throughout his games.
Infrit beat FChamp once too. And Infrit played extremely well that year as well.

Not sure where the updated cash prizes info are located other than what has been said on twitter.
Sign up for the GG/P4A/BB tournaments people!
Oh, I'm actually changing the prize for Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +.
Instead of the Guilty Gear Isuka Original Soundtrack, it's gonna be this Guilty Gear Original Sound Collection.

Maybe they changed the payouts partway through pools.
Well, we can only hope he doesn't change his team to something like Zero Vergil Taskmaster or that he does not get completely absorbed when BB: CP comes out, so he can actually keep performing well

Damn. :[
lol I'm at SDCC this week. Besides, threads aren't my thing.
Okay guys, Evo hype got to me. I want to try to get into fighting games. I have pretty much no experience with them besides Smash. What's a good game to start with? I would prefer to play on the PC, but I do have a 360. I don't have a membership for the 360, but I wouldn't be opposed to paying for one if something like Marvel is really worth it.
I know Skullgirls comes out for PC next month, which I want to try, but I don't know what to play right now. Any advice?

fuckin' called it, man
Maybe they kicked Fanatiq out and just told him the team was disbanded
Wow. Didn't someone here say something about someone something something trying to recruit AGE members at EVO? Things are coming together. And I have no respect for AGE. It took them Sp000ky to blow their asses up to finally actually support a tournament and as far as I can tell they only sponsored one tournament.
You have no choice. I'm going to tell your girlfriend about what you did.

Well that sucks. Don't know if fanatiq or flash will pick up a sponsor for a while. Chris has his choice of sponsors. Knives is still solid, but has hit a wall.
Who else was in age?
So unless some sponsor throws a bunch of extra money into the pot, that's it? That's a shitty payout for such a big tournament, but it's not really the fault of the organizers or anything. The money has to come from somewhere, so we'd need bigger sponsors for that to change.
