This is bullshit hands down folks. How are those Japanese folks gonna feel when you have to tell them that this shiggiddy has been moved three or so months back? They’ll be about as pissed off as anyone else here who’s putting a LARGE amount into this event. Should have kicked MLG in the dick instead of taking their “fake” Get Outta Jail Free Card.
Real recognize real and GAMME, you looking real unfamiliar right now.
Fudge MLG and keep it real.
Moadib just sent me a message -
Don’t shoot the messanger. He just knows im at home and he isnt so he wanted me to post this. Sounds like he wants to do right on this so here’s hoping.
I’m fine with the date change, looking forward to the event.
I have a confession… Trent is DeMarcus [GPX] and I am moadib. We have trolled you for a year, now eat a dick!!!
WOW just WOW!! as I read this over and over.
I can’t help but feel irritated and angry,but hell I live in FL. I feel worse for the catz that made preparations like a few months ago for GAMME. Why should MLG have ANYTHING to do with GAMME changing the June dates??? Many ppl including myself planned around the GAMME june event. MLG is yes the BIG dog in FPS, but that’s it FPS! fuck them trying to weasel in the fighting scene. It’s all about $$$ to them anyways, than the community.
By the way what do you say to all the vendors and such that planned for the June event??
I know you say this is going to be better for the community, but I doubt that. Just wonder how much $$$$ MLG’s forking over for the " Inconvinience." Not in the communities favor.
So what, are they trying to buy the community?
LOL! Why would many want to go to MLG?? especially when money these days is tight. Everyone IS set for GAMME. I say Battle MLG!
I should have known something was up when I heard one of the guys commentating at westcoast Warzone 2 that the GAMME event was changing dates. I was thinking WTF…nahhh I didn’t hear that right… Guess what…
God Bless U, Rick.
Unbelievable.
Are you guys seriously planning on changing the date right now? This event was announced more than 6 months ago. Me and some other Cali players have already made flight/hotel reservations (which can’t be changed/canceled without large fees) and requested time off of work.
For you guys to reschedule with only one month’s notice just because of some other tournament is completely unprofessional and totally ruins everything for out-of-towners like us.
I’m really hoping you will reconsider your decision.
Here’s a good question. How many people from this forum were even thinking of going to the MLG event on this same weekend instead? Answer is probably close to 0.
I didnt know there was an MLG event until this whole thing went down.
Update from Moadib:
So it sounds like the dates are not changing now. Crisis averted?
Hip hop hooray?!
I follow the MLG series (since I do play FPS as well) but Orlando MLG came and went already. I understand the potential of this all. Business wise it would be something GPX should look into in the future to be part of MLG (since they are see $$$ signs in the fighting community) but fuck why does it have to be this way. I mean fo’ real!?
That’s good to hear since I have people who have been planning for the longest to attend as well people flying in internationally for this. Not so sure about the crisis being averted since that announcement was made before the players were consulted first. We’ll see.
Honestly. Keep the date Manny. In the end changing the date is going to blow up in your face.
Reversal! Wooot!
synchronized happy dance?
