I was gonna type up a long explanation of why collusion is the problem, splitting isn’t, etc. But I just saw somebody on twitter say “don’t shit where you eat,” and that sums it up so perfectly that I’m just going to repeat it.
smh markman confirms that this is killing tournaments.
I’m just quote this from UMVC3 thread to start a argument.
This is reason why pot splits exist, but their actions will be their downfall. The reason is simply thiis…
Esport/Sponsorship money events will not tolerate this kind of crap. Anytime pot split in MLG, or any events…you will literally fuck up the community. Smash pot spilts may been one of the reasons why Smash got booted out of MLG. I guarantee you that EVO in 2013 will not tolerate pot splits. Maybe before people have gotten away, but EVO is pressured to be a legit competitive event. The punishment and consequences for pot spiting as the year goes by will be higher. Especially when you realize who is sponsoring EVO nowadays as well.
All I going to say if this pot splitters want more money, they better realize they have to be PURE. If not they re going to fuck up any chance of making gaming their viable career in the long run. Sponsorship, TOs like Wizard are going to be afraid of raising the pot if people like ChrisG are not going to being honest for the community.
As Evo2k3 GF, I’d be more interested in Evo2k3 WF as a possible setup to that. Historically speaking you had a lot of times someone would lose in WF and then come back in GF to win it. But that doesn’t get us dealing with the future by addressing the now, which seems to be something we can do something about.
