fuckin' called it, man

There's definitely room for both, but it doesn't feel like the people who keep saying "fgc isn't going anywhere unless corporations come in" (which is the most meaningless statement ever btw) and calling grassroots events garbage sure don't seem to be promoting that idea. It also doesn't help when some of the loudest voices in favor keep referencing companies that are either out of business or have yet to turn a profit, and have no actual plan about how to make anything happen.

I'm the best player on GAF
At not being good at anything
$1B+ in operating income for 2013, I'd want to be like ESPN as well.
However, ESGN's ads (the guy in the boardroom) were a tremendous turn off from the get-go, and IMO, are an insult to ESPN.
During the baseball season, the first 15 minutes of Sportscenter along with Baseball Tonight are mainstays for me. I'm sure there are plenty of people that don't like many aspects of ESPN/SportsCenter, but the fact is that you can get a tremendous amount of information in a very quick period of time from ESPN. That's the value there.
I disagree about being professional being overrated. I think that generally, you'll get a lot more about being professional than not being professional, but I respect that you might have different experiences/opinions.
However, I think that most of what constitutes being professional lines up with just treating other human beings decently, something all communities can use more of.
Also, grassroots and unprofessional are not mutually exclusive.
The answer is always Super Turbo. I look forward to the next OId Man Games in February.
I think the better thing to do is not to sponsor a player (although I'd love if we could sponsor them all), but to sponsor an event. That has a greater impact on the community at large.
These are superb, fantastic work, as always.
Thank you! Don't know if I'll be able to accomplish DC levels, but that's not to say I might not try

I'll put this on the front page of One Frame Link as an Easter egg for you. Bet it.

Hmm I might just have to start playing DOA more often, I think that would be a fun tournament to enter. I wouldn't stand a snowballs chance in hell at Marvel or SF.

i didn't hype up shit, I just said it was going to be sick.
THE internet hyped shit up with crazy hopes/dreams.
unlike the guys with hopes and shattered dreams, I knew what was coming out and I was excited for it.
and why would i hype up bad stuff? where's the point in that?
you know what, it really is just my words. don't read to deep into them.
^ That is what I put on twitter.

MarkMan transforms into Vince McMahon and turns the FGC into the FG-League. HGH will be mandatory and you wonder why everyone on camera is so oily.

The closest thing we have is CEO.
Now that Jebaldy is community manager for Iron Galaxy and direct bitch of Dave Lang, I doubt I'll get to own that scrub in front of everyone again. Can't damage the image of Iron Galaxy.

Smash joins MLG but has exclusive rights to stream the game?
Chris would need a PR member with him at all times.
From thinking a facebook message is more professional than a phone call or email, to his sarcastic "collusion with tea" comment during the esports/fgc debate on twitter when he was the main culprit of the whole collusion shit a few months ago
he's the Brock Lesnar of the FGC. just shut the fuck up and let someone else do the talking for you.
Do tell because the man is pretty much the Tokido of the U.S. and the Justin Wong of the new era.
Hyperbole much you say? I say no.

FGC members is vague. That doesn't mean it referring to players.
Markman gets a new job at somewhere other than Madcatz?

Markman goes to Iron Galaxy so there are no longer any issues with him laying a beatdown on Jebailey.
The only thing im good at is being a nobody.

Dope photos.
so you're saying there's a chance that Triforce will start EMPolution Tournament Series
I know who you are!
FChamp hypes up stream by saying he has found out "new" tech against Wolverine.
Shows off way to beat double Dive Kick, Dive Kick into Berserker Slash and everything. The method is just backwards plink dash on the ground as it option selects throw and block + back dash.
He didn't know that many people knew about it (including GAF's own Frantic) and claimed it as his own discovered tech.

Bingo, that's going to be it.

Almost any game is tournament worthy if there is a community there to have tournaments with it.
