Look, let me make this absolutely clear.
I'm not talking about the people who regularly attend tournaments, I'm talking about because of how spread out and generally inaccessible LI is, it's difficult for people to initially get involved in the tournament scene, which means a lot of talented people just play with
other talented people at SBU. It happens, that's life.
getting involved = going to a tournament
No Johns for myself, I'm not a regular because I've got other priorities, and other people already inducted into the tournament scene (aka, the others on the thread) do attend tournaments have their own reasons. Once you're they're, it's not too bad.
?__? still wondering what's so hard, all it is is going to a tournament and playing
It's GETTING INVOLVED, THAT'S the issue, and SBU just happens to be one of the worst areas to get involved in this. Part of it might just be disorganization, but the city is far better. Simple example, before this break, anything smash-related I did either at school, or in the city.
that's kind of your fault considering people live in much worse areas on LI and I live like 15 minutes from stony brook and got involved when i was like 14, it's not hard at all
Yeah, it happens. Granted the people who do attend tournaments already should be attending more tournaments and should be encouraging more people to go, but that doesn't change the fact that there are signifigant barriers for new players. Suburbia sucks.
no there isn't a big barrier at all, look at malcolm, godot, anti, patsie, dabuz, pd, will etc. all they do is show up and they are involved. you don't have to do anything aside from have a name and play. i understand people don't show up to tournies but stop making **** up it's really annoying
