HS's infrastructure is getting there, issue is that it's heavily, heavily reliant on their Ladder system.
Can't really go to their qualifiers without having really high ranks in their ladder per season and their ladder system is trash. Not only is it trash but the format is nothing like their tournament so to prepare for tournaments you can't rely on ladder experience you need offline partner practice. That may sound obvious to most people here but in fighting games you don't have to touch online rank matches to be competitive and participate in tournaments. Where as pretty much every top HS grinds online ladder like it's a job, just hundreds of games poured into it when they get little out of it in terms of actual skill and experience.
