Do you guys really have enough active players for a tier list? I don't think you do. It worked for TX, but that's TX with a TX-sized scene. AL/GA could have had that, but at this point the only person even hosting consistent tournaments is Player-1. He's the hardest working man in the scene, and he deserves everyone's appreciation.
Frankly, the AL TOs need to step up their game. Sure, M3t hosted a tournament in Mobile in June and Blue hosted AUSOM back in May. However, no one has looked ahead to make sure the scene stays active every month except for Player-1. Say what you will about Alabama Smash League when I was overseeing it, but I was always on TO's ***es to plan tournaments ahead of time and give the AL/GA scene a good spread of events each season. Unfortunately, HASL and Smiths Station, two great tournament series, are now pretty much gone. Iron Brawl has been gone for awhile. It saddens me to see them go because I started HASL and I helped to start the other two.
I did quit the scene, and I did it for a good reason. I'm going to have my hands full in the fall at Georgia State with three graduate classes, two teaching assignments, and nine research hours with the chair. But don't think for a second that I haven't been paying attention to you guys. I especially want to see HASL happen again! You guys have a free venue; someone from Huntsville's active Smash scene just needs to step up and book it. Heck, you could couple it with ChargerCon permanently. What could be easier? As for other tournaments, I highly suggest you all get behind these new Birmingham events. 30 people are confirmed to go on the Facebook event. The competitive players seem hesitant though as many of them are listed as "Maybe" or even just "Invited." Birmingham is in a great location for everyone and is worth the investment of the competitive scene's time, especially if so many people are already going.
I didn't intend for this to turn into a wag of my finger, but alas, it did. I just don't want to see good tournament series abandoned because no one is willing to take the time out of their day to book a venue.
The gauntlet has been thrown. Impress me, Alabama.
