The Perfect Invitational - Online Tournament Circuit for Injustice: Gods Among Us

[skahwt]

What's the problem with taking $5? It's a cool idea that's already generated a lot of interest, he's doing all the work, and it's completely optional. I'd enter if I knew I wouldn't get destroyed.

Perfect Legend just inboxed me. He said that the $5 will go into supporting my petition:

lulled immediately when i saw this in the OP "- $15 entry. $10 goes to the pot."

try a real job

This thread is lols. Carl, you should have seen this coming. People run online tournaments and streams all the time for free. You should say you are open to donations, not instantly try to get money off it.

DAaaaaamnnnn.

 

[NY_Jailhouse]

seriously though ive seen people do these kind of tournaments like ALL the time, for free. I dont think you should be charging just because youre a well known player lol

Perfect Legend is an amateur. You're supposed to say the $5 are for charity.

Noob.

I will join and compete on one condition...This has to be the theme of the tournament.

I think this is more out of principle. From my point of view I would like to participate against some great players but also paying some $$ to enjoy my own living room isn't too appealing. Sure people pay large $$ to go to events like EVO, food, room and board, etc..but what that money really gets you is an experience that many don't have the luxury of enjoying.

What do you guys think of this idea? "Winner of each tournament is banned from entering the next however the winner will be entered in a invitational to play against other winners of future events." This would be so people don't keep entering and just making a lot of loot off of people or should I allow the winner to keep entering to defend their crown?

That's a good idea, but you would have to figure out people gunning for 2nd/3rd to farm weekly loot.

Dats racist. I wanna play. FUCK YOU GUYS!

If its a big problem then don't sign up.

Change it to like $2 or something, making a third of all the money go to you for setting up a challonge bracket is a bit extortionate.

Doing it for the "community" freely is the dumbest bs anyone could ever say. 90% of every video game community doesnt deserve jack shit cuz they dont do anything to help anyone but themselves. People who try to help out the entire group always get bitten in the ass, at least the money can lessen the bite lol

I would do this for free if I had streaming hardware. When I loved Smash, I would organize Smash tourneys in my college with no venue fee because the school let me rent their TVs and room for free. I just loved playing and bolstering the support for the game, and if I'm not paying anything, why would I get paid? It can be obnoxious to TO a whole tournament (I've done ones bigger than 64 people), but it's definitely not $320 obnoxious, especially online where you basically fire up Tio and XSplit and you're done.

I'm not saying PL is wrong to charge $5, that's his choice if he feels he deserves it and it's your choice to pay him if you want to play. I just think it's unnecessary.

there are many things in this world that can be done for free, but only a fool would do so. I'm new here, and I can already tell you what a nightmare dealing with random people online is. You think its so easy to set this up, keep it running smoothly with no headaches? no way.

It doesn't matter if doing this doesnt cost him any physical money, it costs him time and headaches to keep things organized and fair. If paying him 5 bucks keeps the tournament fair and honest and allows it to grow in the future then it seems well worth it to me. Making money gives him incentive to do things right and not just trash the whole thing when times get difficult.

Organising on online tournament is hardly worth being paid for though.
The whole point of it is so that the WINNER gets paid, not the organisers. Especially considering that PL himself would stance a good chance of winning some of this shit since he's allowing himself to enter it as well. He'd be a competitor that could never lose.

Also, having it regional would be stupid, online is seemingly random, I can connect to players from the US pretty well considering the distance, whereas sometimes I can't connect to somebody in the UK.

That, and my WW would mop up a tonne of the Black Adams/Superman players for you guys

If its $2 people will complain still but I have no problem putting it to $2. This is a rough draft thread anyway to gauge how people feel.

On top of that I asked if people wanted me to participate or not I have no problem not playing in it.

I think the best idea would be if you dedicated yourself to organising it and not competing in it, BUT organising it PROPERLY (Key point), then it would be acceptable to take some money out of it.

If you want to compete you shouldn't be allowed to take money for organising, either way you'd be detrementing one of your roles, as competitor or as organiser, cause you'd be stretching yourself over to much.

1 or the other.

I have ran these before, and even with not participating in it, a 32 man bracket online is hard to run,

the problem is in nobody will listen to any rules or anything you say, reporting scores is a huge issue. Rules on what to do if players cant connect, are late, go AFK, all sortsa shit pops up.

A 64 man bracket would take you all day with 4/7 and a losers bracket. If you are going to do this and play in it as well, I suggest you get some help running it. And make sure all your rules are clear and concise.


On that note, I have no interest.

I knew this reply was coming lol

Let me put it this way...

I was interested until then.
