Regional pride is about who plays in our region. Ally plays in our region. If another region has a problem, then they should ask Ally to come and take all their money for months so they can have him in a crew battle for 0 dollars.
I dont believe we neccesarily neeed Elliot, but I do think he is part of Atlantic North at this point. Putting him with Canada or some other region seems a bit ridiculous. They haven't seen his face since June. I can understand how MD/VA may have issues with it because you dont see him and lose to him on a weekly basis, but trust from the NY/NJ perspective he is as Atlantic North as Atlantic North can be.
Oh and, to me, where you play Smash is the only thing that matters for regional crews in Super Smash Brothers. Elliot eating, drinking, pissing, and having his mail sent to Canada is irrelevant to Smash.
Lastly, I don't think Jason should be in the crew. I think Jason is cool and all, but using the same definition of regional pride, he just doesn't fit that criteria. He has been in the midwest, taking all of their money, so he should play for the midwest.
