I mean, even previous years (in the smaller venues) the 8 AM game didn't really have filled seats either. I wouldn't really worry too much about it.

I know it's going to fill, I was only wondering how long it will take.

 

[jett]

i'm guessing the latter.

ESPN has been doing eSports for a while. Wouldn't even be surprised if they approached the Evo people.

It'd be cool to read about the behind the scenes of this deal.

it was thanks to the playstation 4. the console of choice for street fighter v and sponsor of the capcom pro tour

the choice of a console generation

Oh, my bad. Then well, I'm guessing midway through Marvel.

I'm sure things will pick up later, but considering the new venue, I'm pretty underwhelmed by the presentation/production. I figured there would be more fanfare, more in the way of player intros and whatnot. The tiny spectator crowd just adds to that.

Can't expect UFC level production values. These are basically amateurs, and it shows.

hayatei in a hurry

No problem. It just seems like with this big Arena we definitely need more people to actually hear some crowd noise. That was the only reason I was wondering how long it will take.

 

[DZ_b_EZ]

The stage this year is sooo big and there's such a big distance from the commentators that you can't hear the crowd cheering in the background as much.

I think thats what it is.

yeah never was a big exaggeration, more often than not the top 2 don't make it

happy we have at least one american in sfv top8, go joe

Top 8 is unpredictable for SF. Not only is the competition insane, but it is 2/3 and brackets play a factor.

I have been wanting SF to be 3/5 the past 2 years, but looks like 2/3 is here to stay. The format is incredibly cutthroat, especially in a game like SFV where offense is favored.

 

[Xater]

Netherrealm should probably in the future implement a tournament mode. One that just skips fatalities and announces the winner. Never hearing who won from the game itself has always been weird.

It's really 2/3? When premiers do 3/5?

Big D just zoned the fuck out of him, great performance.

Flexin' on em.

Street Fighter has been 3/5 in top 8 since the Capcom Pro Tour started if not longer.

man hayatei can't catch a break. shouldn't have played the range game against an ermac

Fans like to see them do fatalities. That's my understanding anyway, I'm not really a MK guy.

Top 8 is 3/5

 

[KidA Seven]

3/5 is for top 8 only at premiers and evo.

I meant the path to top 8 isn't 3/5.

I like them, but tournament players rarely do them. At least at Evo.

Pretty sure top 8 is 3/5 since CPT rules require it

OK, I misunderstood what you meant by top 8 being unpredictable.

I don't even see that stuff on my Fire TV. Thought it was weird when I saw it briefly yesterday on my PC.

I wonder if they're actually gonna pay out DEM CENTS.

 

[shawnoftheshred]

Killer Instinct top 8 was insane yesterday and sofar MKXL has beenreally interesting. A lack of Alien/Mileena being played by Top 8 players who are winning and really nice to see Jason and Ermac being played so well.

Boon teased news at Evo a few weeks ago. Judging by the lack of hype tweets etc. either:

1-sick of having their reveals spoiled ao being secretive.
2-no announcement incoming.
3-announcement just another season of ESL/and/or pot bonuses with some balance changes coming after EVO?

I'm going to say it's just #3, with only on stage announcement being a $ addition to the pot?

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

where are the finals being streamed??

I can believe anyone would spend real money for that shit!

Even funnier, since chat is locked to subs only, you have to pay $12 just for the opportunity to throw your pocket change at players.

If we don't get any annoucements, I'm going to be really bummed out to be honest. We've had a many hints leading up to today. Already feeling deflated.
