More people would show as well if this wasn't the same weekend as NCR. With more time to plan and it hopefully not being the same weekend as another major in the future, people will actually show up to watch. | ||

I think mr kof could have won if it wasn't for extended series, but Bala played really well, non the less. And the commentary of Juicebox was really nice :D | ||

I want to say that I didn't see this coming, but I actually did. I mean did they do their homework at all? If MLG did, they would have found that KoF is a definitively WEST COAST game in North America, just as MK is an EAST COAST game. You absolutely CANNOT judge the potential for KoF at MLG based on the last event at Columbus. SO HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT GUARANTEEING MK AND NOT KOF AT ANAHIEM IS THE RIGHT MOVE? Also, they cross scheduled with NCR (I know there is nothing they could do here). Not a good way to start it off, right? Top that off with the fact that they announced the tournament about 3 weeks prior to the event date. If I could use an MMA reference, this is like asking an up-and-coming fighter to take a fight on short rest, while another equally appealing fight is available and closer to home, and oh by the way, it would be the first major event of his career with that organization. And if you do accept the fight, you will be overshadowed by the main event(SC2) no matter what. Is that honestly giving the KoF players/community a fair shot? What exactly is their model for growing the fighting game scene at MLG? I used to be on MLG's side when it came down to the Capcom license ordeal, and I cannot believe that I am saying this, but I think Capcom might have the right idea, keeping their games away from MLG. For the record, I do NOT like much of what Capcom does nowadays. ok i stop now /endrant. curious if anyone else out there has thoughts about this... | ||

MLGAdam is promising to push for KOF to be at anaheim and promising a 5k minimum prize payout. If that is truly the case, then I would have rather seen the first KoF event be at Anaheim with a normal prize pool along with the other two games. It could have been properly planned and promoted, while being hosted in a very KoF-friendly location. However, I think that they all have sponsor support or they wouldn't have been there in the first place. | ||

People will show up for anaheim. I hope they can get Hellpockets & Steve for commentary there. | ||

if they cannot get 100 players in Anaheim for a tournament with a GOOD payout structure, i.e. one with an equal/fair pot bonus(in comparison to the other fighting games), then they should probably just scrap the game for future events. | ||

Until then, theres good things like WNF Season 2&3 and a lot of majors to be happy about. | ||

I'm sure mlg arena viewership numbers and the turnout at anaheim will be good enough for more kof at mlg. Until then, theres good things like WNF Season 2&3 and a lot of majors to be happy about. yeah I hope that everything will work out in the long run. apparently a lot of KoF fans spoke up tonight on twitter, so I hope that that has some impact on adam and the rest of MLG. I can't wait until Thursday for the umvc3 and KoF action, probably my two favorite fighting games to spectate currently. | ||
