Shouldn't have scaled back the number of Road to EVO events so much, Wizard.
I don't understand why they have to be so blatant about the splitting though. If you just played a good set of matches to give the audience a better show you'd get way less shit for it.
Don't they enforce against pot splits in eSports?

@Zeronaire_ @JayViscant well until everyone's paying money to see grand finals, I don't think any of the players owe anybody anything
Pot splitting isn't the problem. People want to be entertained and don't really care if things are fake (see: wrestling) as long as it's entertaining.
The worst thing is that that these guys are shooting themsleves in the foot and they dont even know it.

There's probably more than a few players who don't really give a shit about the tournaments outside of the number of people attending that they can pick clean via money match.
There's not gonna be a solution to this anytime soon because the talent doesn't give a fuck, and the people who do give a fuck aren't strong enough players to tell the talent to fuck off, it can be done without them.
So the scene can't grow to the level it needs to without these guys coming around - but these guys won't come around until the money is right - but the money won't be right until these guys come around.
so on and so forth.
Nah, they know it. They just don't give a shit. Here's why:

Don't like pot splits?
Step your shit up son.
It's like a round or something. I can't explain it.Why did Injustice go for a armor and life bar design? Is there any difference between the two, or is it in reality just a split of one big health bar? 102% = 52% then, and that isn't all that much, considered the situational, and meter intensive requirements.
What difference does it make? Both players have to try hard for it to matter and usually when you see blatant pot splits, one person really would rather get triple perfected than "try" (whether it be an ego thing or a "saving it for nationals" thing). If I agree to play against you and you tell me that you're not going to try at all, what incentive do I have to try hard against you? I mean my setups get exposed now and if I lose, it's straight up demoralizing.The things with pot splits is why don't they just play a real match out and go for the win legit to see who is better?
I mean, you split the pot already and you are sharing money, just play hard and for real? Their ego couldn't take it? I guess in that scenario, they just screw around and not play for real because they don't won't hurt feelings at that point?
idk, thinking about it, if I pot split with my buddy, I would still want to play the match out, for ego and competition's sake.
I would casually play the match if I didn't want him to have a thing to hang over me for shit talking, and for general ego's sake.
This doesn't translate totally of course, but in pro sports, everybody is getting payed, and people still play their hardest because they want to win, and have egos, and for the love of competition.
For top 3 at a major, when they pot split, they are all getting paid already, so play it out legit, for ego and competition, and the drive to have the crown.
Plus for ChrisG in particular, he seems so much ahead of everybody. Why would he pot split? I would go for all the glory and all the money personally. But if he depends on this for rent money, I guess he can't take that chance. idk, whatevers.

Then it's really just 52%. You can do that without sweat in SF, SFxT, MvC3, P4A and almost any other fighting game as well. The game will end up being played bo5 anyway.Just one big life bar. An Injustice match is just one big round with a mandatory positioning semi-reset/combo break.

It was one vote for Frauds Among Us (it was Panda too so I dunno if that even counts) and two for this. The other suggestions sucked. Real rap.Seriously though, Enzo needs to go back to taking suggestions and letting people vote on em because shit is TURRIBLE.

Last week was shitty and this week a NRS game comes out. Lower your expectations.
No, because SBO was single elimination.Was sandbagging ever an issue at SBO?
Comic Book GuyStream Monster: "The match between Chris G and Justin Wong at Texas Showdown was, without a doubt, the WORST. GRAND FINAL. EVER. Rest assured that I was on internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world.
Bart: Hey, I know it wasn't what everyone wanted, but what right do you have to complain?
Comic Book GuyStream Monster: As a loyal viewer, I feel they owe me.
Bart: What? They're giving you thousands of hours of entertainment for free. What could they possibly owe you? I mean, if anything, you owe them!
