What is going on guys, Ya Boi Zyphox here.
i've been thinking about this for a while and when @CD jr posted in his thread about it it really got me inspired. i firmly believe MKX and our community can take over grass roots tournaments when it releases. now the real question is can it sustain as the number one game? we know how well the tournaments do for the first 6-7 months of the game, but INJ has a dramatic decrease in numbers since last year at majors.
i feel with the added players from INJ and the old MK heads coming back from their tournament hiatus its a real possibility that the new players MKX will bring that we can easily surpass a 6-7 year old game in SFIV and marvel. the one thing that capcom players edge us in is consistently getting numbers for a lot of years through out the games life. can we as a community consistently travel like these other communities? i feel that if NRS took a dota approach like what @R.E.O. suggested to me that it can easily bring growth to our community and the FGC.
dota is made with competition in mind and it has 8 million unique players a month. (yes i know its a free game) they actively support the tournament scene as soon as you log in the game. posting tournament info, and the prize pot for their evo which is currently on pace to break $10 million. having that exposure will bring sooooooooooooooo much to the FGC and the NRS community. shit if NRS wants i'll act as their liaison and keep the in game menu updated on locals, regionals (like KIT lol jk) and majors. i know many great qualified people like @CrimsonShadow who already do this (even though he's hella busy all the time) and @AK RM Blake who i think would do this for free!!
i really want to see the FGC grow and i think that NRS should take a page out of riot or valve's book and implement something like this in their game. also we all need to do our part in this. MLG has only 64 players? wtf, if i could make it like i originally planned to i would. why did SCR have 100+? isn't it in the same area? with tournament numbers come sponsorships and money. and money keeps everything flowing, if NRS players start getting legit sponsors then they will be at more tournaments. i feel like this is a real possibility and would like to the the opinion of the community on this one. am not a huge voice in this community or anything but i just wanted to put this out there. can we surpass capcom at these tournaments? can or will NRS implement such features into their games? are all of your bodies ready to get out into the scene make great friends and fight in great rivalries? can you still not believe its butter?
