Brawl not coming back next year to MLG...oh well.

Hopefully they will support some grassroots tournaments.

 

[Tesh]

At least I don't have to learn how to use a Gamecube controller now.

 

[Smoom77]

Grassroots tournaments?

 

[RT]

Grassroots=community sponsored.

 

[Smoom77]

I am forever depressed

 

[Leaf.]

Well, whatever. Too bad, focus more on WHOBO/other nationals.

Gnes is forever champion. Long live the king.

 

[heytallman]

Dammit leaf, you beat me to it. I was gonna say "Gnes the one and only."

Oh well. At least I was able to make it to Dallas, and had hell of fun there.

Also, the money incident between two players was another reason. Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman was suspended by the league for reportedly fixing a match between he and ADHD. Some reports had it that ADHD paid off Mew2King to intentionally lose, while others said the two players were splitting prize money.

"If I knowingly stand by and let a community behave in a certain manner and creates a tournament environment that's corrupt, I expose myself to litigation," DiGiovanni said. "No. 2, I personally find it revolting."

it's not really surprising considering Brawl isn't a big game. Also, you can't blame M2K/ADHD, because people split all the time and it's a pretty standard thing. I'm sure people split back in the melee days, it was just stupid of them to make it so public.

 

[Plairnkk]

Well, good luck then.

Why would you just come out of nowhere and say that **** when someone simply says they want to go to pound. you have never even been to one have you? so where do you get off on saying that it wont be worth it?

and what sort of legit reasoning would you even possibly have to say this? haha

lame

The size of the game does not matter. Tekken 6 NEVER went above 100 entrants the entire season. The only reason why tekken will stay is because of the following things(smash didnt do any of these btw)


1. No support from developers or sponsors

Its clear, Nintendo and its devs declined the ability to allow MLG stream us and offered no support at all. This is pretty much already known/accepted.




2. M2K/ADHD bracket manipulation.

I hate to say it but the vocalization of splitting, the constant greed and the over all lack of morals is the reason why this happened. It makes me so mad. But yet again, this is brawl and of course ******** suff ALWAYS happens.





3. Support being split between the MLG tournaments and underground tournaments.

I told you guys, AZ told you guys and so did pretty much any old gen TO. YOU MUST SUPPORT MLG or else it will not support you. When a TO hosts big events along side MLG and when you dont wanna work with MLG.....you wreck things. And guess what, it happened.




4. Unsteady attendance figures


MLG Orlando 2010 (183 Entrants)
MLG Columbus 2010 (250 Entrants)
MLG Raleigh 2010 (148 Entrants)
MLG DC 2010 (174 Entrants)
MLG Dallas 2010 National Championship (182 Entrants)


These are extremely good results for a game that has no livestream/****ty rule-set/random seeding.....ect. EVERY event was double of what tekken 6 brought in. Sadly, it wasnt enough.







Since i know everything im gonna go ahead and let you guys know(though you already know) that smash will never return to MLG ever again. If they dropped MELEE(and we worked with/along side them) and BRAWL(great turnout for each event) then there is no way they will ever pick up smash again. For those of you that DID go....cherish it!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah LOL, i get to answer a lot of questions that way

 

[KRDsonic]

Woah plank. Calm down now. Leaf's just looking out for his bro.

 

[Player-4]

I'm actually siding with Plank here lol

Sync should go to Pound and with a positive attitude. You won't get anywhere otherwise.

 

[Xyro77]

Be positive but be realistic.

 

[Smoom77]

Just go to dang pound

 

[heytallman]

Just go to dang pound

Yo leaf why do you go to hobo? I hope you learn something from going to them (outside of losing).
Anyways this is the last Pound iirc. So I know I'll definitely be trying to attend.

 

[KRDsonic]

I would go, but you know, lack of free time and all.

 

[Tesh]

Pretty sure M2K/ADHD didn't put the final nail in the coffin at MLG. Its all about the money and MLG officials already stated that even if each event had capped, it would not be enough money to cover what they spent on Brawl.

IF Brawl had had support from Nintendo and sponsors bringing in money and the M2K/ADHD scandal had taken that away. THEN it would be their fault. But M2K ain't Tiger woods, Brawl did not have a chance at the 2011 circuit and the community itself couldn't have done anything to change that.
