[3:22 PM] TAminimat:
i dont really see the problem with events clashing..
[3:22 PM] TAminimat:
just causes the organisers to be more competitive
[3:22 PM] deneb has just replied to the thread Masters Cup Sun 3rd June! $10 prize just for joining
[3:22 PM] Pandan:
If it can 100% be avoided, then I just see it as harming the scene
[3:22 PM] Pandan:
big pet peeve of mine
[3:23 PM] UHF:
its more of an issue here than most other places as our scene is smaller
[3:23 PM] Pandan:
^
[3:23 PM] UHF:
although, it just means lesser names have a better chance of winning
[3:23 PM] UHF:
which isn't really a problem
[3:23 PM] yaaaang:
in a purely competitive environment that makes sense
[3:24 PM] Pandan:
no the problem is 2 events with 40 people > 1 event with 100?
[3:24 PM] Pandan:
When they are online, i think thats a problem
[3:24 PM] Pandan:
what sponsor is going to give decent money to 40 people
[3:24 PM] TAminimat:
how many weekends do you think are in every month tho
[3:24 PM] Pandan:
when he can give the same amount to 100 and get wider reach?
[3:25 PM] Pandan:
You can choose to clash with so many things
[3:25 PM] Pandan:
choosing to clash with the biggest one twice in a row
[3:25 PM] Pandan:
is just retarded
[3:25 PM] Pandan:
the GIGABYTE thing could have had SHITLOADS of people attend
[3:25 PM] SC2SEA StreamBot:
TragicHero is online! Watch here.
[3:25 PM] TAminimat:
so your saying clash with anyone just not the events im affiliated with
[3:25 PM] Pandan:
now it will get considerably less because people MUST attend ACL for wcs
[3:25 PM] Pandan:
I'm not affiliated with ACL, fyi
[3:26 PM] coolbeans has just replied to the thread Whats Your Gaming Gear?
[3:26 PM] Pandan:
my point is, both ACL and GIGABYTE could have BOTH had much higher attendance, but now both are vultured
[3:26 PM] yaaaang:
oh pandan
[3:26 PM] yaaaang:
you so crazy
[3:26 PM] Pandan:
and will receive a lower ROI for sponsors
[3:26 PM] TAminimat:
its a ******* good thing lol
[3:27 PM] Pandan:
how is sponsors wanting to spend less money a good thing?
[3:27 PM] yaaaang:
how is it a good thing that two big events are held on the same weekend
[3:27 PM] Pandan:
its vulturing the scene
[3:27 PM] TAminimat:
it will make both parties get more competitive?
[3:27 PM] Pandan:
if those events were on back to back events, they would have way higher attendance and sponsors would LOVE it
[3:27 PM] cR.ChadMann:
yeah minimat - Pandan is right.. shhh.
[3:27 PM] Pandan:
there is no 'competitive' they dont compete
[3:27 PM] Pandan:
if you want to go to wcs you go to ACL
[3:28 PM] Pandan:
end of story
[3:28 PM] Pandan:
therefore less go to GIGABYTE
[3:28 PM] Pandan:
thats BADDDD

EDIT: @Bash rep: I have a bad habit of saying some dick-ish things whilst on the route of making my point. I still strongly believe in my point, but perhaps I shouldn't have jumped @ Nirvana so hastily
