We are currently at 86 pre reg
All west coast guys that are planning to come out, you need to get on this now if you haven't bought your pass
we are getting them today very soon.
no doesnt make sense to
I thought we were supposed to get more players cuz they wanted a 128-man? Aren't they LOSING money by capping early? Why dont they just do another entire 1st round of byes for seeded players or w/e like last time? I thought the business of a business was to make money and do business.
I'm not completely sure I understand. Why was the 128-man bracket offered and what was the deadline for #'s? Why wouldn't they assume to advance at 86 and possibly more on the way?
I fucking hate this mentality. God it pisses me off.
Forcing players to sign up beforehand and well in advance.
Right, they accomplished that...They now know over 80 people at least bought their passes...why shoot themselves in the foot now?
See man, it's just more of "that logic" i was talking about earlier that makes me shun MLG. They're just weird, man
I'm sorry but as far as luck goes in a world of broken fighting games, we can proudly say MK9 is not as broken as some of the others being played for $$$ right now. MK deserves it for their improvements, despite the areas they lack in that we all complain about. MK is America's game, man.
So people know that they keep their word and not just uppity decide to raise the cap anyway.
You are getting off topic. I am not arguing against pre purchasing passes. I am arguing against capping the tournament. It doesn't make sense in any business model. Also, since you seem to have the financial information of MLG, I would love to see your proof of all of these added expenses. I can't imagine it costs them more than 50 dollars per player to raise the cap. Please do not use information you pull out of your ass to validate your arguments.
The word originally was that there was going to be a 128 man cap. That was taken away after MK was announced WAAAAAYYYYY to close to the event almost to the point where some people couldn't make proper travel arrangements. The cap was then held out on a stick like a carrot in front of players who then signed up. The cap got raised once, MLG knows there is a committed player base, why would they now not decide to take door signups? It just seems silly to me.
I don't think many people have a good reason to complain if it gets capped and they can't play, but saying blame youselves for not getting the cap higher isn't right. Lbsh, they took so long announcing MLG would even be at Dallas, then even longer getting all the necessary info out, that a lot of people who wanted to plan and buy plane tickets early and get time off work got shafted. On top of that no one had any reason to expect a lower cap. No one should be waiting to buy their pass, but MLG made it really difficult this time and is probably at least partially responsible for leaving some people out to dry.
They cap it so they can sschedule th7ings better and more accurately .
