Its been run horribly on the ground though. I have a friend who JUST started his first round in the open bracket, which started at 2:30pm cali time. There are zero places for warm ups even though there are open set-ups. Its just being ran horribly from everything i've been told.

Ads are dumb because they make me know that something exists, multiple times in a short period.

Also because I'm too lazy to go somewhere else.

Matches definitely do not take this long to setup normally. I don't really get the lengthy delays.

What usually is happening while I watch this is:
  • I leave because ads.
  • I miss the first 4/5 of the match,
  • Get more ads
  • Repeat
  • ???

On the topic of ads, but not complaining about them...

Does anyone else just not understand how ads work? I've never seen an ad that actually convinced me to go and buy something. Like I know what they're supposed to do, but I don't see how they actually accomplish that.

you obviously don't know what ads are supposed to do. They aren't supposed to make you want to go out and buy something within a short time frame.

They entire purpose is to make you aware that a product exists, if a time comes up when you need such a product, whether for you or someone else, you will look into getting whatever they advertised.

this is especially noticible when grocery shopping

Eh, too well researched on what I want when I go shopping to care, but I guess that's a minority thing.

Obama's presidential campaigns proved you CAN annoy the **** out of people with constant e-mails and they will still do what you ask of them in aggregate thanks to knowing their personal history and effective pressure tactics.

We should probably just avoid buying anything that is annoyingly shoved in our faces, good personal resolution to make.

New Linkin Park Album hype? Because half of this stream is Linkin park and Monstercat songs.

Crews not starting because some players are in pools still.

But instead of like I don't know, streaming those matches we're just gonna shove 50 ads out and some Linkin Park.

The one thing i hated about professional sports was the amount of commercials, it's so depressing to see it creep into pro gaming ;_;

But I guess in order to have melee on the big stage with a huge prize pool we gotta have commercials.

Injustice players are going through the same thing Smash players are right now, if not worse due to absolutely nothing happening on stream after unofficial commentators were kicked off air for making fun of what was happening.

I hope MLG gets some serious backlash through the entire FGC for sucking so hard.
Injustice players had it worse cause when the Internet was having issues in the area, they couldn't download the patches and such so those viewers who waited for Injustice had to wait like half and hour till they got it resolved and this was after the first 2-3 matches.

I saw so many commericals today, I started to question my own humanity.

Why. Why did HBox go in. Literally anyone else would've been a better choice.
They didn't want Mang0 to run with it and put a big dent in their stocks, so they panicked and sent out hbox. I thought that was the worst decision they could have made, and that is probably why ec lost.

Westballz is seriously my favorite player. I don't know much about his personality which I've heard isn't the best, but his Falco is what I want my Falco to be: insanely technical, super aggressive, and very flashy.

How do you guys balance practicing both PM and Melee? I've been playing PM exclusively for the past few months, but last night I played Melee and really want to get back to it as well.
