Tournament? I bet if someone like ESL or MLG came in with a 100k prize pool pot they could overtake EVO in prestige and viewership. | ||

I bet if someone like ESL or MLG came in with a 100k prize pool pot they could overtake EVO in prestige and viewership. First, if you're coming from other games, melee and fgc prize pools are generally smaller. And the Evo prize pool is especially weak. It's based in a formula dealing with registration fees and entry numbers. Many games get their prize pool supplemented by their publishers, who see Evo as an opportunity to promote their product to the community of their consumers. But Nintendo is historically way behind on the esports train. The tournament is really more about the prestige, now, than the prize money. | ||

Nothing quite like an enormous dose of entitlement to brighten up my day lmfao The people that complain kill me, when smash isn't at evo next year because there aren't enough subs or viewers because it was run at a loss. They are killing their own game holding an event isn't cheap, internet isn't free. | ||

Because fgc tourneys are traditionally run by and for players, and the players don't have that much money. Could it be different? Maybe. | ||

Basically Melee was run by a few passionate people at MLG but they were pretty understaffed and it seemed like they didn't have a ton of support. Therefore the tournament wasn't run all that well and was way behind. I'm pretty sure they were also short on setups. The other problem was that MLG likes their seeded pools + open bracket format and didn't stream a single open bracket game, only pools, so we missed a shit ton of games. This was also a huge complaint for SC2 as tons of talented players who came all the way from Korea didn't get on stream once, all this while MLG was practically setting records for downtime between matches So yeah MLG Anaheim was pretty bad but it does suck that because THEY ran a bad event they decided to drop Melee and SC2 and just do COD or w/e | ||

They had an insane amount of hype matches though, because of the top level group stages. I still dream of a tournament that would do that again, but it kind of conflicts with the typical grassroots tournament model. You need big sponsors to make up for the lack of tournament entries to fund the prize pool. On the other hand, you get a lot more high quality video footage you can monetize. I think MLG didn't approach it wrong, they had a pretty strong concept that they just executed badly. | ||
