In all honesty, if everyone saw the scope of what MLG is doing with their tournaments I think people would start to understand why the idea of MLG scheduling around FGC tournaments is a little preposterous.
You really need to have seen the sea of people in the SC2 crowd at MLG Columbus, it was insane!
MLG is a huge opportunity for our game and community, I cannot stress enough now much we need to support what they are trying to do for us.
MLG definitely is a huge thing for MK9. I don't think there could be anything better going on for MK9 right now than for it to be apart of MLG. And of course people should support MLG as much as they can and we all want MLG to pick up MK9 as an official MLG title. None of that is the issue though.
The issue is the problem that arises from MLG events being on the same days as FGC events. I'm not saying MLG has to schedule around FGC events, not at all. That would be absolutely ridiculous. I'm saying there should be some communication. I don't know that there's not, which was the point of my post. Neither parties should be obligated to schedule their events around the other. But some communication and public addressing of the matter will go an incredibly long way. If either the FGC community event organizer or MLG would make something as small as a short statement addressing the issue, that would be a huge deal.
I just don't want there to be this "it's either MLG or the community ran events" type of dichotomy. We need to be able to coexist in order for this to really be successful. If there's this lasting tension in the air because these two are forced into competition, it may just get out of hand and it's just not a good look in my opinion.
