Dope!!! I’ve been waiting to see something there…!!! I’ll be there tomorrow!
I thought it was pretty shady how the SF4 AE tournament was dealt with tonight. Many of the finalists were informed AFTER they had won that Round 1 would not be distributing cash prizes ( I could count on one hand the number of players that were just as perplexed as me when this was announced, the guy running the tournament said he announced it earlier, but many of us have no recollection of this announcement ), but some credit system, which is bogus to me. Alot of the players were turned off by this change, as we already spend very close to 15-20 dollars each per person ( if you do the math 5 bucks entry, 2 out of 3 games, every player has to swipe 2x per game win or lose, game is like 75 cents a pop for about a 16 man bracket ). Round 1 is already overpriced and you decide to shoot yourself in the foot business wise with this decision. NO ONE is going to play these tournaments just for credit, you’ve just discouraged the growing community that shows up to these events.
Actually Round 1 has went back to distributing cash prizes, all you have to do is just sign a waiver. I commend Round 1 with bringing it back to the original way of rewarding the winners of their tournaments
