Melee's peak was 184k.

Might not surpass MKX.

3vo is gone, USAmus is gone, nothing but Boxes and Swedes.

 

[Lazulic]

MKX has the highest payout. Wow

if i recall entering that one cost a fuckton. like 10 times as much as most of the others?

that might be ki though. maybe im dumb

Melee's peak was 184k.

Might not surpass MKX.

It was definitely 185k a minute ago when I checked.

 

[Ragingnight]

No I meant pot...unless I'm misreading it?

mkx has the highest pot due to pot bonus

 

[CurlyW]

I've seen a couple.. Mainly about top 8 being BO5..

It's been done before, but that doesn't mean it's a good decision. It fucked up CEO's scheduling this year.

Also, MLG is a big reason why the Tekken/Smash/MK/Injustice communities have been some of the loudest ones clamoring for Bo5. MLG runs no more than 3 total games each event, so they have time to do Bo5.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

these reads pp is making are mind blowing

 

[Tripon]

Melee is already played 8 minutes, 4 stocks. In a tournament that has to keep track on time, you simply cannot allow top 8 Bo5 at a FGC event. Its simply selfish and shows that Smash fans don't care about games.

Close to 187k now.

 

[NSESN]

It's canon

Ah, the space animal amputee.

You didn't quote my entire post!!

All games cost the same to enter at Evo ($10).

Also I need to correct my statement. MKX had the highest payout for first.

Bandai Namco Provides $30,000 to Evo 2015’s Tekken 7 Prize Pool, Spiffy Shirts for Competitors

Never mind then, I was going off of that image posted earlier which didn't list that pot bonus for some reason.

But mah good playurs, dawgh

 

[Papercuts]

Melee's peak was 184k.

Might not surpass MKX.

What was MKX peaked at?

I see 186K now.

 

[Justinh]

Doesn't USF4 have hightest pot, according to that picture?

MKX just pays out lower to those not first it appears.

 

[Effect]

He's talking about both, but yeah. You guys are all jumping the gun.

He constantly calls himself the best player in the world. Can't blame people for thinking he's talking about his match.

 

[Mass Effect]

187K watching. Is that the peak so far?

what the fuck?

 

[MandrakeUK]

It was definitely 185k a minute ago when I checked.

Currently almost 187k my side.

 

[Tripon]

We're talking about payouts. KI had big payouts compared to Tekken and Marvel..

Tekken had a $30,000 payout this year. If you are just counting payouts based on entries, that would be KI.

 

[NotLiquid]

3vo is gone, USAmus is gone, nothing but Boxes and Swedes.

To be fair the fact that Leffen was gunning for #1 was a huge draw so Swedes wasn't much of an issue until now

I quoted it before the edit, apparently. I went back and read the update though.

 

[Ōkami]

188k iirc.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Fuuuuuuck

Come on PP

 

[oatmeal]

Currently almost 187k my side.

187.5 on mine

 

[Velcro Fly]

HBox executes when it matters the most. Did it against Mango and did it right there.

 

[Internets]

evoMindBlown is the greatest Twitch emote ever

 

[Beelzebufo]

I think I rather have a non USA player win than Hungrybox.

Save us PPMD.

Seriously, and that's saying something. HungryBox is the shame of America.

 

[ScaryShark]

Bo5 in Melee is pretty brutal.

 

[evilalien]

Tekken had a $30,000 payout this year. If you are just counting payouts based on entries, that would be KI.

Was talking about total payouts including pot bonuses which would make it Marvel.

 

[CurlyW]

don't those also have like 256 player cap or something

I don't know if MLG ever hit a player cap for a fighting game event they did. Maybe for Melee at MLG Anaheim last year.

 

[Nanashrew]

All the haters shall fuel Hungrybox, send him your energy, he'll use it to win. He will become Akuma! Raging Demon Rest!

 

[Brawndo Addict]

189K for me.

 

[direct_quote]

Come on Evo you don't have the World Cup competing this time, get those numbers up...

 

[Ragingnight]

o what? didn't know about the tekken payout but would make sense since they are having tekken crash or whatever in korea

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

188k iirc.

At 189K now.

 

[Omzz]

189K for melee

 

[Tripon]

what the fuck?

Other games at the event.

 

[V-Faction]

Pretty sure Melee will pass up MKX. Might just only be a bit though. So mighty big props to MKX.

 

[DNAbro]

189k!

 

[Ōkami]

Melee at 189k.

MKX is beaten, peak for EVO 2015 so far.

 

[Crocodile]

My internet refuses to let me see Plup matches. We in Grand Finals now?

 

[nubbe]

PPMD is done mentaly

 

[BigBadShamoo]

Never mind then, I was going off of that image posted earlier which didn't list that pot bonus for some reason.

Yeah it was an official tweet by bandai Namco aswell. It'd be cool if that image was times tamped tho then we'd know if it was before or after.

 

[Papercuts]

Melee broke 190K.

 

[NSESN]

189k now, may it will hit 200k

 

[mStudios]

MKX reached 197k.
Melee needs 10k more
