Hopefully, the higher ups understand and will do at least ONE more before axing the whole thing. I bought prime the other day just to show some support for them. What makes anyone think they would be losing tons of money? They have like 12 sponsors who are constantly getting plugged, this has to be a success financially. | ||

however, the blatant just...retard fuck-ups, are just seriously hurting it. It doesn't MATTER if you have awesome music and awesome interviews if you can't figure out which one to play when and people can't hear shit. Just like it doesn't matter that you have awesome cameras in the booths for the players and three GIANT screens on the main stage when your camera people derp and switch to the players during the MOST dramatic intense part of the games instead of on the actual action. I mean i understand that things like, the casters messing up and the internet screwing up aren't remotely thier fault and i think ign as a whole has done some serious boss, hero action this tournament and a lot has been REALLY impressive and just awesome, and frankly the most awesome i've seen from any tournament just because of the sweet interaction between everyone, but i seriously hope some of the silly, almost amateur level stuff is cleaned up next time, because it's happened every day so far. | ||

Tomorrow will be the true test. Tournament has been great so far minus the internet outage. You make it sound like what I'm saying is really out there. It seems completely obvious. They have done tons to make this one of the best looking tournaments we have seen. Do you think that is cheap? Why are all the other tournaments not able to do it? The fact that it looks so great and they have so much content is clearly because they spent a lot of money doing it right. When you do that, you are expecting to get a pretty huge return to make it worth it. You look at those crowds and tell me that's huge. Thursday and Friday were bare. There was hardly anyone there. It looks decent today because it is a Saturday and there were more people than the last 2 days...but it is still a tiny crowd. I think you are being really naive to think that they can afford to continue running events like this with tiny crowds and the potential for stream problems. If it had pulled an MLG crowd...or even half of that, I'd feel a lot more optimistic about their future. For the record, I think it's sad...I'm not happy about it. | ||
