MLG Anaheim's Hype Tournament Moments - Discussion Thread

[Goldi]

I want to say ALL the things!! but I'm good.. I'm good...

Those doritos though!

 

[Konqrr]

If MLG had anything to do with professionalism everyone attached to running this garbage would be fired.

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

I'm stil laughing at @Rally Jackson 's post about Doritos. FUCK! You made the night worth it with that.

Thank you! Much obliged. I'm just trying to keep everyone who's been watching this for 6+ hours with me from giving in to the urge to kill themselves haha.

 

[Fromundaman]

Can I predict that by 1 AM tonight 3 matches will have been played?

I hate how close to the truth this is turning out to be...

 

[gabesena]

I think that they using the Injustice Stream to pay the bills of the event with those comercials, and using the others to actually play the games

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

Everyone, this just in: there's been a change to the scheduling and they're going to do one top 8 match per day sometime in December when they've gotten through pools, kinda like Chanukah.

 

[Enigma642]

Whats the over/under on the amount of matches played by midnight? 2 maybe 3?

 

[sinosleep]

It's already midnight here.

 

[Icy Black Deep]

MLG: "Kraft, we did 27 million plays of your commercials. Please pay us."
Kraft: "Wow, how many millions of people were watching?"
MLG: "Well, about that . . . ."

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

Can we place bets on what's going to happen when we return from this break in a half hour?

I've got $100 that says Daigo and Ed Boon will be on commentary eating Cheetos. Who wants in on this action?

i'm not even joking man, watch the smash stream or the starcraft stream and compare the numbers of ads, it's ridiculous...

Compare the amount of gameplay and its way worse lol.

 

[OG Mannimal]

This is awful... I was really excited for MLG too, but it's ruined for me

 

[Fromundaman]

I think we just hit 5 or 6 since the scheduled start time, not counting the couple of casual sets.

 

[AK elitegoomba]

so far they're at 7 matches on stream in over 10 hours

 

[Eldriken]

I can only imagine the amount of backlash MLG will receive if they try blaming this shit on the FGC.

When FloE randomly came behind Tom and Rip commentating and gave the rape stare and shook his head in disappointment was hilarious, I have to gif that!

Everything that is happening is basically legendary status hilarious. I was upset when I realized I wouldn't really be watching the tournament... but what has happened instead is pure comedy. I'm having a blast just waiting for things to go wrong.

Other hype moments:
1. Tom and Rip commentating things they are seeing somewhere off to the left of the screen, but they can't really see so there isn't any information to talk about, and they don't know the score.
2. A giant round of applause for 2 matches happening in a row.
3. Tom and Rip agreeing that Smash team jerseys are legit.

And just so folks know, I think that David, and Godspeed, and Tom and Rip are all handling this extremely well. They are making this entertaining despite the lack of entertainment. MLG needs to pay these guys overtime for having to commentate dead air, which has to be a nightmare.

 

[gabesena]

let's talk about Floe tweets while we wait, shall we ?

And I'm officially done with that community can't wait till me and @JWonggg take your money in MKX again

https://twitter.com/Floejisan/status/480203169524236288

Lolol @Osu16Bit called security on me and @NYChrisG to get out of the commentator section looool great community enjoy your tourny

Damn! Who had Ultra David and Godspeed without any snacks? I owe you.

Capcom got out fine when they blamed the fans for Legends 3's cancellation ( excuse me while I puke).

 

[Rathalos]

Awww Floe is the only positive thing about MLG so far.

 

[Impractical Joker]

Wow, rough bracket for slayer, he beats skynis and perfect legend his first two matches and then gets matched up with Noobe

 

[Vulcan Hades]

Really? I'm gonna hate myself forever for having missed Chris G and Floe on commentary. They were goofing around and talking shit about MLG?! Sounds like the best part of the day lol.

There's no way I'm paying anything for the archives. LBSH They should pay US to watch 6 hours of their Logo and commercials again.

When MK9 happened I actually stayed home to watch and was hype, don't care for IGAU. I'm just enjoying to see what else fails and how much worse it can get.

 

[KingOko]

No official commentators booth? Probably has been stated but dam wats up with that?
