Seriously, this is not JUST ANY TOURNAMENT. We wait the whole god damn year for this and all we'll get to see is a bunch of early beatdowns by top players over jobbers (no offense to anyone) and top 8.

ForeverKing Jr. Eliminates Megabytes to come out of Losers. Megabytes lost to Sonic Fox.

dude, the bandwidth struggle is real even for something on evo's scale

tbh, i'd just be thankful my game is in evo at all. if it continues to grow at this rate, they'll have to start axing the smaller games to keep it a 3-day event...

Holy shit. We missed Theo vs. CD Jr. Not that the outcome was ever in doubt but still...

Where are you seeing that pool is finished?

the money evo makes could EASILY pay for like 100 4g plans

Chaosphere · Jul 11, 2014

That's it. I've officially lost interest in this game. No cares ever. Was looking forward to EVO this weekend, but fuck it. Guess it's time for an mk9 revival

speedforce came out of losers in insaynne's pool

MIT won his pool, tyrant from losers

The issue this year wasn't so much bandwidth as it was stream time allocation -- while the Capcom pro tour is a positive thing (and a good first model for future FGC organization), the fact that the 3rd stream is mostly dark due to CapcomFighters only showing SF4 pools has deprived a few other games of additional stream time allocation.

It's something they'll have to figure out how to work in the future.

they prob worry that wouldn't be "professional" enough

so basically they just stick with a couple streams that they KNOW will be quality, with little risk

another issue with lots of streams is less control over commentary, which has gotten this scene in hot water in the past. with side streams that isn't evo's problem...if those were all official streams it would be a much different story

And 2014 made up for that 10 fold. We ended every pool a MINIMUM of 30 minutes early thanks to @Kitana Prime. Jebailey learned from his mistakes and PROgressed, not REgressed.

And likewise, hopefully EVO will learn from this year's mistakes as well.

Top 8 hype is directly connected to Bit's presence.

lmao that's a joke, right? Is this the first evo you've ever been cognizant of? These problems happen every year.

coolwhip · Jul 11, 2014

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. Theo loses his first set in Injustice at a major in 2014 and we don't get to see it. Fuck. Did I say fuck?
