Yeah very american style. Now why should a tournament kill another while both could just coexist by taking place at different times ? That's obviously the meaning of this post. | ||

It's bound to happen with these bigger tournaments that need to schedule their venues months in advance. Very unfortunate and I would believe that they will make maximum effort to prevent reoccurances. | ||

It is not that easy to co-ordinate all these events in basically a 42 week period(No January/Late Nov.-end of the year). | ||

It is not that easy to co-ordinate all these events in basically a 42 week period(No January/Late Nov.-end of the year). Definitely, there's bound to be times when events can't be rearranged and they wind up overlapping. The issue is just that Assembly has been announced for quite some time, now MLG announces an event at the same time and Assembly starts losing already confirmed players, all apparently without any sort of communication between the events. If it can't be helped, it can't be helped, but I'd hope to at least see an effort made to avoid these incidents. | ||

They aren't going to let someone smaller than them affect what they do. This is very shortsighted. It is clear from every post they make after a tournament that numbers are EVERYTHING for MLG. Having a tournament with a similar prizepool on the same weekend is going to result in some star players not attending their event. Another major tournament on the same weekend means less viewers for MLG, even if they completely overshadow it and take 90% of the audience, that 10% could have been watching MLG too on any other weekend. | ||
