I'm gonna make this skill gap... disappear.
Too much negativity has been going around about tournaments for their organization, streams, attendance, players, etc.
Let's cut the bullshit and start being more positive in this regard, because this is not a place where hype is built, but rather, where true schisms and rifts have began to form in our community.

UFGT10 was an excellent tournament. The level of play was great, many matches were extremely hype, some amazing comebacks were mounted, and we got to see another very diverse top 8. Congratulations to @EMPEROR_THEO for another major victory, to all those who were able to make it to top 8, and to everyone who went to the tournament and supported our game- you are what keeps the game alive and the community strong.

The stream was ran very well. The replays were really awesome and something I haven't seen much of while watching events. Quality was excellent. Commentary was strong pretty much the entire time, even when some people who don't have great backgrounds in Injustice were on the mic. Major props to @BGCallisto for bringing us an excellent show and demonstrating just how great our game can be.

Since I wasn't there, I cannot speak for the organization and venue, but things seemed strong for the most part from a viewer's perspective. It is unfortunate that @Filipino Man had to compete in another event during the top 8 for Injustice, but such scheduling conflicts are bound to happen and are more of a testament to how good he is as a player in multiple games than anything else.

Fuck the "new leaf" and fuck the bitterness. Let's just land somewhere in the middle, where we keep our friendly rivalries for hype with some level of measured respect, and support all our tournaments and those putting in the work to make them possible.

I liked how on point every tournament was ran. There was a schedule and we were seeing matches from that game on stream, no bullshitting around. Yeah INJ pools didn't finish on stream which was unfortunate but the overflow accommodated everything so that 2 hours later we were back in the Injustice action ON TIME.

I was there, and I thought everything ran very well. There were a couple of hiccups, but nothing that wasn't fixed in a few minutes. As for the venue, I'm not sure what is normally expected, but I thought there was enough space. However, there were only 4 (5 including stream setup) injustice stations, but then again there were four MK9 stations that you could switch to IGAU if you had a disk. I would have liked it if there were more seats for us in that section though.

It think it b/c the same players win almost or every tourney over and over and over etc. Gets boring real fast from what I see, like for instance "This (insert name here) won (said tournament)" and the rest are like "Yeah? pffft. what else is new?"

To be fair he DID make top 8. He still got 3-0d twice tho lol
PL did do well tho. Better than most people hating and making fun of him in this forum lol
I completely agree. It's very likely that he would school me if we had a set. But when you call us all out like he did, top 8 isn't cutting it, especially when you get 3-0'd a few times. After all, he himself did say that top 3 is what matters...
All in good fun. :p

Yeah that's something that seems pretty consistent everywhere. Seems like things stayed relatively on time though, and that's all you can really as for.

UFGTX was awesome in so many ways. TO's kept things running smoothly even though there were systems that weren't patched for pool 1 and 2 which made them play in overflow time. The replay stuff on the stream was pretty sweet. Medals were given to top 8 which was also really fucking sweet. That should be done at majors all the time. Only quip is that I wish there were more set ups for casuals.. 4 is good but it would have been nice to have more.

Yeah, I think the only way to really remedy that would be to get additional members of the community to contribute because TO's and organizers only have so much to work with. I'm sure that would cause some kind of liability concerns, but you can always coordinate with people to play in rooms even around pools time as long as the venue is alright for that and you can make sure you head back down a bit early so that you don't get DQ'ed. This is certainly a concern at most majors, and it's kinda funny that regionals and monthlies often end up having more setups due to more focused lineups.

I've opted to bring my PS3 and 360 to CEO for more casual stations for Injustice. I e-mailed Alex to see if he'll need any. If he does, I'll be bringing mine to help get more stations set up.
