if a top player knows he is suppose to play its on him if he is not on time for his match. remember its the players responsibility to be there for there match if they get dq then tuff shit next time they will know not to ever do that again for a tourney. no1 is gonna cry Illuminati it would be the players own fault. if i was to get dq it would be my own fault and no1 else's fault for it.
Isn't is crazy when people who give you money have expectations? THE NERVE!!!
Giving me money? Nobody is giving me money. Im spending my own money to go down and help run this thing. I am not making a dime, nor is that even the reason I do it. None of us get any money for doing this. Community tournaments are for players by players. And we do the best we can with the resources we have. MLG has spoiled everyone and now they want something we are incapable of delivering.
Just got off the phone with Eric. I didn't even have to attempt to convince him. I didn't say ANYTHING other than, "the community wants 3/5".
Cool, so Max, I can count on you not competing, not drinking, and instead volunteering to make this happen?
im not going there to help run a event im going there to play and when i see shit like we are waiting for people to come to the venue holding up the tourney or we not starting at the schedule start time im gonna make a very big scene about it infront of every. im a very punctual guy and when i see shit running late over bullshit it pisses me off.
i so agree with u on this. the only reason y marvel went 3/5 cause they fuckin saw mlg doing that shit and decided to do the same for that game.
Natas, when I run MK at a Major, I run it on time. I haven't been to a major since Winter Brawl back in February and that was one of the smoothest tournaments I've ever been a part of.
Phil, that is fucked up. Tournament rules should... can not change mid tournament. Someone could have gotten to top 16 if it was 3/5...then the rules switch? I can't support this.
Insuperable
If the problem is the staff's lack of manpower to efficiently run a 3/5 tournament, I'm sure many people here (myself included) would be willing to help out on the staff.
I understand that, and I appreciate you saying it.
My question is...Can we bring milkshakes into the venue?
all nec is gonna care about is getting there $30/$40 venue fee. they could give 2 shits about what the community wants
It isn't just manpower though. I'm sure they would love the help regardless. But they don't have the set-ups as well. Also, Big E has already said that it's 2/3 for MK9, if you read Phil's earlier post. So nothing can really be done at this point. All of the top 16 is 3/5, so that should make most of you guys happy.
I'm trying to accommodate... if it's a bad idea, it's a bad idea. It's not like I play... it's not like it'll affect my tournament experience.
Maxter Ive been trying to explain this the best I can. No one understands because very few people here have ever had to run a major tournament. I like 3/5 I really do. I wish we had the time, the resources,equipment and manpower to do it. But we dont, and unfortuantely nothing will change that. You cant compare it with Marval because Marvel will have 30+ setups and a huge team of people running it. We dont. We have a handful of dedicated people who will do our very best to give you guys the best tournament we can. But we can only do what we can do, and we simply cant do it.
Natas, you obviously don't know BigE.
Last thing mk community needs to do is wait on chris G
