I hate this term, but man, those 09'ers are something....CDjr started (again) this whole conversation, thanking the OG's but saying that now they should "step out".
They raise dem eyebrowns when they see those big payouts for events like MLG's and now this ESGN thing and forget about who's always there to support them
Like, there's an EVO, a SCR, a NEC, a Final Round every year. How many MLG's had fg's? Will ESGN keep supporting the FGC?
Chris G is spitting the truth. Some of these frauds need to get put in their place, not saying its Papa Valle or anything. MLG is the direction the FGC needs to go to garner a bigger crowd and actually become professional.
Now that I read this, I understand senpai.

O GOD IT HURTS.
I guess the people who run the olympics shouldn't be given better treatment in comparison to the athletes. I mean the athletes work everyday.
edit
then spooky
SCG (MTG) started imitating them over the past year. It's horrible.

None of these players' comments should be surprising. If they were smart they wouldn't be playing videogames for a living.
only suckers work from 9 to 5
No lie, if Spooky streamed Melty Blood or Arcana Heart CPU raffles I'd definitely donate some stupid money.
I take back what I said. I have no idea what goes behind the scenes so I'll just stay shut and enjoy the show.

Yeah publisher contracts dictating behavior and stuff makes more sense than the MLG thing. I wouldn't be totally opposed to that since it would maybe stop Chris G from making the whole scene look dumb by association, but it would open a whole other can of worms otherwise that would be pretty fucked up.
That whole possibility is still pretty out-there though.

LMAO @ the ChrisG response.
Best Twitter response he has made in a while. I obviously don't agree with it.. but this is like the evolution of "sipping dat Kool Aid".
HAHAHAHAHAHA
never had seen this
"SANFORD YOU MUST PICK SAGAT SO YOU CAn win for me to pay the bills...."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Also, that sanford quote, dear god, where is it from?!?! It is gold.

When the audience is ready to grow up, prove they are a desirable (and marketable) segment then maybe we might become more professional. Until then, lets ride that E-cigarette and dwindling energy drink market.
Viscant, save us from ourselves.
care to explain why?

CDjr is the one that started it
it's a joke, sadly ^^
I honestly don't see why we can't have both E sports FG events and standard FGC events. As long as there is no overlap... who is really hurt by it?
The shunning of E Sports is just as bad as taking a dump on the long standing FGC events. More E sports events means more money in the pockets of top players so they can travel to more events and be more motivated to practice.

Viscant's gonna wanna get sailor moon to sponsor us, Kappa.
Also, FChamp_is_the_new_Viscant.
I would honestly prefer both, that means more events for people who can't usually make it out to them. I know for a fact if E-sports worked with the FGC, we'd be seeing more events in NY, where the real killers are at.

The 4 MLG events I went to where fantastic. EVO quality event if not better in some ways. There's a reason so many NRS guys like Jr are high on MLG.

How does this help the average tourney participant though. I want these events to be better for everybody to attend, not just top players. More stations, more room, more games. Have both, but goal should be to have better events for everybody, not just the top placers and worried what they get. Seems like everybody wants us to worry about them all the time.
The distrust of these e-sports groups is very real. It really comes down to the fact that a lot of the leadership now was here long before the money and the corporations show up, and the question of what happens once the music stops and the money dries up is a very real one. The grassroots events have been here long before the money blew up, and they'll probably be here long after the big money leaves.
I read Black Mamba's manifesto and that was just painful to read. Where's the money in grassroots events? Does he not realize just how much work it takes to get court and obtain real sponsorships with real money, and that companies like MLG have a whole team of people who do that 40+ hours a week? There's no one in the FGC that tournaments are a full-time, or even consistent part-time job. He got a flash of the big bucks playing in CLG and it seems like he hasn't given any thought to the idea that the money involved there was completely unsustainable. Why do TOs charge so much for venue fees? Do they have any goddamn idea how much it costs to rent a large space and pay for the equipment and resources necessary to run the event?
He goes on and on about how MLG was so great with real perks and real payouts. Do you know how much money MLG loses on those events? IIRC they only started seeing an operational profit late last year, and that was mainly through their efforts selling advertising to their higher margin games like DotA 2 and CoD. You know what was not bringing in the advertising? Fighting games! That's one of the reasons why they got dropped so quickly.
If you're competing squarely for the money, go play League of Legends. You're nothing less than a complete fool thinking that fighting games, in their current state, are going to have enough prize money behind them. Frankly, I think it's foolish for people to do that even if they're playing the bigger e-sports games like LoL or DotA 2.
I can't blame players for chasing the money (most e-sports careers are very short, and hearing the money made by some DoA4 players from CGS way back was... startling), but having this whole "fuck the community" attitude is beyond stupid. That's the thing, people will flash the big bucks but no one gives a damn about the long term sustainability. You either make a quick buck or you get the hell out.

My understanding of it is that publishers can still throw in extras for people who sign up for Evolution, but they have to manage the distribution of it themselves. It's a mess, logistically and anyone who has been at Evo the last couple of years know how much of a mess registration/check-in is even without that. (Pro tip: Get it done Thursday night if at all possible.)
Doesn't matter if you were... the timing and the analogy of the tweet was good enough to get a chuckle out of me.
I thought that the Dota 2 tournament MLG ran in Columbus a couple months back was a great event. Best I think they've ever done.
My issues with how MLG ran their fighting game events a couple years back boil down to two main things:
1) Extended Set/Continuation Rule
2) Inapt scheduling for fighting games. Long breaks between matches work great for Starcraft, Dota, and LoL, but not so well when a match ends in 10 minutes.

Fuzzy guard is so important. Once you get the rhythm of fuzzy guarding at medium disadvantage the game's pace really cracks open - you just keep moving. Honestly no fighting game has as good movement as Virtua Fighter imo. None even close. I love wavedashing in Marvel and KoF's hops but when the VF dance opens up, man. Can't beat it.
My playlist is coming soon boys and girls, uploading it to mediafire with a iTunes playlist .xml file right now. It's a little under 5 hours and a half. Hip hop, breaks, instrumentals, funk, soul, and everything in between is on this playlist. My favorite to grind rounds in SSFIV: AE and UMvC3. I hope people will like it. I recommend putting it on an iPod if you have a 360 as that's such an easy way to play music off your Xbox. USB drives work too.
