once again other than 9AM what were the issues? And what exactly is wrong with running a game at 9AM?
There technically is nothing wrong with running a game at 9am. People just don't like their game to be at 9am. Cause that involves them waking up early. Something people have trouble doing.

yeah people are just lazy. lol myself included
Ill wake up as early if i need too. I really don't care. I woke up at like 7am for ECT. So i could get ready and everything. i understand that it is hard. More so when you are up all night playing casuals and such. but you need to prepare if your game is early as fuck. Which may mean going to sleep early. Shrugs.

Bumbling towards greatness.
The same thing happened last year and there was a huge deal about this. Keits said he will never accommodate players in this fashion.
And magically last year almost everyone who needed a pool on Saturday got one on Saturday. I realize you are up-in-arms to be up-in-arms but Keits isn't in the wrong here. Yes, he won't grant anyone special treatment, and pride's himself on that (rightfully so in most respects), but he's not incapable of paying attention to people's needs and trying to cater to them when possible.

Keits is capable of being considerate or being a dick, and quite frankly he's generally whichever one you treat him as.

I write too much.
Not everyone can just say "Ohhh well I play Friday now I will just go early" people planned around jobs, kids, family, obligations et cetera.

Now... Two weeks before it changed. A nod to the Lack of organization in this community and highlights the need for mlg.


Ur from Chicago so I assume u will back keits with whatever. But this is bullshit. No matter how u try to justify it
Did anyone even read the page when they registered or did you guys just throw money at the screen then move on to reserving flights?

The registration page warned me 3 separate times that I should be ready for events to start as early as 1 PM on Friday. If you already registered then there is no excuse for not knowing.




isnt this the same event that had issues in the past years like holding INJ at 8:45 am preparation time and holding games like dive kick in higher light than NRS games? why is this tournament being supported from this community
Even if that arguement wasn't retarded, why would we boycott the last Midwest major?

Because other than a few mistakes last year this tournament has been a great thing for the Midwest NRS community. Because the guys running it do a good job for other Chicago tournaments throughout the year as well. UFGT 2013 was kind of a disappointment, but 2011 and 2012 were awesome. That's still a track record worth supporting.

There possibly wouldn't be the GGA crew if it wasn't for how good UFGT 2011 was. That's where this all started.

Man... This is where it all happens. I wagered Max on his challenge, and I look forward to seeing how it goes.
5 or less, thats the goal. Lets see if he lets his charge-lust get the better of him.
 
FGC logic --

  • Demands grassroot tournaments to be on par with MLG level of organization, proper pools, on time, no favoritism, no late registration ($60 penalty, that's your fault could of had it for $35 IIRC) and pool shenanigans, in short no bullshit
  • Keits provides this
  • FGC is unable to comprehend, because it's too busy being butthurt due to a couple of Midwest guys that shitted on East Coast tournaments organization skills
  • UFGT states that the tournament as a whole starts Friday, May 23rd, 2014, which includes all games including Injustice.
  • Still unable to comprehend
  • GG no re, Keits isn't a pushover, but is reasonable, just like any other professional organization
The only mistake Keits made is giving a 2 week notification to possibly switch flights for people. MLG gives like a month or so notice for flights. I'll give you that criticism regarding UFGT. Everything else just sounds to me like people just being spiteful babies and overlooking his organizational skills because some guys shitted on EC tournaments and you feel the need to get revenge.

Sad.

Wonder why FGC never gets anywhere. Look at the bigger picture. He runs good tournaments.

Out of all the people who made comments about being upset or commenting on the organizational skills of the tournament i wonder how many were actually East Coast players. Or actually going to the tournament. :p

I like how people complained about this aspect. The frickin' schedule was posted way in advance. That should not have been an issue at all. Crybabies.

Only problem I seen regarding that was what games took precedent over Injustice, but I completely understood as most of those games were either main events or big attractions for UFGT.

IMO i don't care what game comes first. Or what game is last. Im just happy to play the game at a competitive Level. Even if i have to get up at 9am to play my pools. Doesnt matter to me either way really. I mean ya ill probably be tired as fuck. But ill still wake up if i need too.

If you're serious about a game and competing, you'd feel cheated if you weren't at 100 percent. I completely understand why they were mad, but it still didn't make much sense. They signed off on playing top 8 at 9 AM. Stupid decision for keits to run it that early, but understandable as well.

If I'm tired when I play, I play way worse. It means a lot to me to get sleep at majors and even before locals. However, if I had top 8 at 9 AM I would have slept early enough to get at least 8 hours. I know people didn't at UFGT and that was their fault.

If you are told beforehand your matches are early then go to bed early. If you are able to handle a late night and early morning then do that. Don't be upset that you have Early pools and went to bed at 5am. :/

One of the main complaints was that MK9 top 8 was scheduled late and after tekken which ran late of course. That made it was impossible to get a decent nights sleep by this standard unless I literally dropped and fell asleep in the ballroom lol. I know he noted this and wont make this mistake again, im just giving context. I know the guys that run UFGT and they dont hate NRS games. They issues from last UFGT were errors. UFGT 2011 and 2012 were awesome for MK9. I had fun at UFGT 2013 personally as well
