I prefer $0 for 9 hours instead of $15 for 17 hours but that's just me
This is a gaming center, is it really going to sound good to you to pay to play a game you can play for free anywhere?
Ok so the store is going to have more space than before... BUT IT'S STILL MUCH SMALLER THAN THE TOURNAMENT CENTER. So why is Min charging us more money? That doesn't make any freakin sense! I guess it makes sense because it's 17 hours... but most high schoolers can't stay past 10 loll.
It's not smaller than the tournament center, i really don't see where you got that from. The original fee for big hype-worthy tournaments is 10 dollars, he's adding practically 7 more hours of time to this tournament, for the same price if you preregister. As much as i don't want to sympathize for a business, and as much as i want to agree that it should be cheaper. No one hosts tournies for less than 10 dollars, yet you expect Waba to do so? These tournaments can be big if their hyped enough. If 50 people come, he could make a killing off 10 bucks and it would be worth it. If 2 people come, he doesn't have to stay open for just 10 bucks but instead 20. I can't really push him to go lower than 10 dollars for something where he has to stay at the venue from 2pm to 7am.
What...? This doesn't make sense. Yeah $15 is steep... it's a scam. I can host a tourney at SPSU, call it a lock in, and have everything free. I understand that the folks at Waba need to make a profit, but they're doing it wrong! They're just driving away customers like me with this new door fee. And wtf do you mean "you can practically host tournaments without even having to pay Min any money out of your pocket"? None of us are hosting tourneys, we're attending them, so that doesn't apply to us.
So, you're telling me that because you can host a tournament at spsu and call it a lock-in that Waba's price is a scam?
hi guys i'm BBQ and i hosted a small tournament with a few of my friends at spsu for free, so everything else is a scam obviously.

You still get a lot of time that you can consistently play matches, almost all the setups can be setup in the new center if we work around it well. Plus think about the future, Waba is still a good venue for mid-large tournaments. GA isn't a place for national tournaments as of yet. So we aren't going to get anymore than 100-125 right now. The Waba Center can comfortable 100+
What if we want to host tournaments in the future BBQ? Maybe i should go to LG again where we had water pouring into buckets because of the **** bathroom, and had no ac so i ended up spending money on fans to accomodate to the FL players. Find me a great venue for ~100 people that you don't have to pay for. GA Tech is great for small tournaments exclusive for GA players, but when **** gets big i'm sure GA Tech wouldn't even consider allowing that many people to enter their campus that they don't know.
lol, well it certainly will not be hosted at Waba anymore. Tipped Off 5 had 90 people, I expect Tipped Off 6 to have 110+, there's no way Waba's small venue can fit that many people... Not to mention that most OoS people don't really like Waba lol.
I have yet to hear an OoS person hate waba, nor do i hear many people hate Waba outside of things like the door fee, Eric's previously bad customer service, or Waba opening/closing at the wrong times.
Well BBQ, we don't have a venue, and even then, not many of us have funds to actually PAY for a venue. Get that through. Legendary Games is gone, Play n Trade is far too small for big tournaments. Final Round has large venue, but Larry takes big money out of his pockets for that. You're acting as if "well Waba can burn in hell and we'll still have 100+ person tournaments".
With what place? With what money? None of us have connections like that anymore, if we did we would've stopped going to waba a long while ago. Waba's free, and fairly large for tournaments if needed.
I haven't heard many complaints towards waba from OoS players. However from in-state players, the complaints i hear apparently come from both ways. Waba has had some iffy past with other players (names withheld) who don't pay entry fee; while i'm not saying Waba is in the right with stories you might have heard from a year ago, i'm also saying to remember there's two sides to every story.
Most of the problems I've heard from you all can be put into a few categories.
1) eric
2) door fee
3) closing times
4) random stories about what's happened in the past.
I haven't heard anything truely happening lately unless it's just something extremely trivial. Waba's door fee will always vary between 5-10 dollars (10-15 for lock-ins). And eric has become better with customer service.
To put it short, i haven't heard any complaints since things have been fixed, except about things that have well... been fixed.
