Xian, Kindevu and Ryan Hart are all in the same Pool D04, which means one of them won't make top 64/32? | ||

They have never NEVER had vods available in any form before. Its literaly the most annoying thing about evo that I hate every year. Don't sweat it DJ wheat you introduced me to evo and I'm really thankful for that. The Fgc is really like the reddit of esports. True. This doesn't change anything though as 640pp videos aren't worth any money at all. | ||

I meant the suscription for stream archives was underhanded imo as you could not get information beforehand and only if you clicked on the twitch archives. As far as divekick is concerned, the method of a kickstarter project was fine. I just feel like the game, which was originally intended as a joke game is taken more serious than it should be. 60k $ for such a project is a hefty sum. Although I don't mind if I am proven wrong if it gets funded. Thanks for clarifying, and sorry for misjudging what you were saying. $60k is pretty tiny for legitimately publishing an independent game, and if you don't believe me, look up some of the other Kickstarter projects for game development. Independent games frequently go into the hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost, even simple ones. Keep in mind also that they only decided to go forward with it because it has gotten such overwhelmingly positive feedback by people who have actually played the game. Before that, it was going to be a one-time thing for UFGT. Compare that to most projects in which people basically have to be told that the game will be good, and it's a much safer, smarter investment for most. As for the subscription thing, if it was marked I wouldn't hae a problem with it, but it not being announced is not a good look. I kind of suspect it's actually not supposed to be like that, though. I could be wrong, but it seems kind of like a glitch with the subscription model. | ||

Really didn't know how much I missed that from other esports events. Yeah, this is why MLG is borderline unwatchable for me for fighting games. There is way too much down time. The average FG major runs 3-4 times more matches than MLG does, which makes for a comparatively poor viewing experience. The 7-10 minutes per half hour of actual gameplay is great, and the interviews are cool sometimes, but the 10 minutes of listening to the same 5 dubstep songs on loop while watching a crowd sit there...nah, miss me with that. | ||

Once again, it's pretty much a for-players, by-players scene that is getting adjusted to having a significant for-spectators element. Somebody has to do all that compiling, and for the most part, people prefer to spend their time organizing, training, and competing than doing largely thankless work that primarily benefits non-players. Things are moving in that direction, though. Floe got DQed? That's...not surprising at all, considering he was up late getting bodied by IWBTGG. | ||
