For the most part anyway button checks at the start take a little bit of time but its usually match after match none stop for every fighting game tournament since there's less preparation required. | ||

Make it happen. This is a SC site after all, but there are quite a few people showing misc stuff. I can understand viewership numbers, sure. But, I watch all 4. I agree... cant believe MLG doesn't have any fighting games on the circuit, especially when fighting games are popular in NA | ||

I have no idea why SF4 was never in MLG. Because Capcom doesn't license their games to leagues. | ||

I thought the grand finals for super only had like 40k people. | ||

You are quite correct, I was typing in a rush and not thinking really about what I said I'm just so used to Starcraft 2 being soooo popular that I kind of put TL and Sc2 together. I do enjoy watching BW very much. I shall go lash my self for forgetting about BW | ||

▼ What kind of events are MLG planning on adding in the future? - In the case of PC Games, League of Legends. For console, Gears of War 3 and a few fighting games. So, they're obviously interested in adding fighting games in the near future. | ||

Capcom doesn't. Thats that. Also, Shadowloo didn't even hit the highest concurrents, NCR did which was 22.5k Evo last year hit like 45k at grand finals. This will shatter that record, I'm expecting 6 digits during top 8 day. | ||

Something silly like that. But that's all hearsay because I don't remember the exact details. There we go, just saw Zlasher's comment. | ||

Yeah, the tourneys always had like 12-15k viewers, then it went to 27k or something and one had 51k and I was pretty amazed. Don't think it was Evo...hm, maybe the numbers were bugged? Dunno, the record got broken by SC2 short time later though with something above 60k viewers.

Maybe im missing something but it can only be good exposure for the game I've heard mixed views on what it did for the tekken community. Honestly one of the best things about fighting games is that every single tournament is community run. At the very top, the head director is a fighting game player for every single major. Makes the experience a lot better because they can always run it exactly the way they want to, no sponsor dictating things. | ||

-MLG wants Street Fighter to be a part of the circuit -A bitter past may have left salty people trying to sabotage MLG's attempts with Capcom -Capcom Japan believes MLG is harming the independent tournament scene -MLG has a stigma of being an over-controlling organization So I read or heard. | ||

There are featured streamers, and sometimes they play LoL, but NOBODY is featured on TL if it is not related to BW or SC2. | ||
