Bigger prizes is fine, fancy production value is fine, but that can't be your all you're selling. Without large pay outs for 1st there is little reason to send a team to a tourny because then the prize wont even cover the cost of travel, in large part that's why you don't see Japanese players outside of evo just because it's not worth the cost of travel. So in the end like all pro things it's about money the more money going into these things the more the pay outs can be for like 1-5, which can be split between the teams if they have good enough people to take those spots. | ||

You do realize this has nothing to do with what I was talking about, right? | ||

You do realize that if i quote you it doesn't mean i have to make a direct response to what you posted, anyways your remark is silly if you don't understand how competitive pro games work. All you have to do is look at traditional games, like basketball or football and then ask yourself why or how bigger prizes help grow a scene. If you don't understand admiration and emulation then you'll never understand how ads work on people nor will you understand how more money in a prize pool attracts more players to compete and thus more people to shine and attract others. Pro games is about money that's what makes it pro, money to players money to companies sponsoring events and players coming from envious/amazed viewers. | ||

As for the rest, you appear to have missed my point entirely. | ||

Even if it can be "hard to get to dark phoenix," the fact it is an instant win in the hands of a competant player is bullshit. If something is hard to master, but if you master it you are unbeatable, then it is inevitable that when somebody masters it you break the game. No wonder he doesn't lose. /rage | ||

And it's not like DP was deliberately nerfed because it was even worse last year. Go whine about Chris G's Soul Fist spam + Hidden Missiles, or how Zero can kill any character off one touch. | ||
