I figured Punk would go to losers, but if you told me Alex Nation was gonna do it that would have been something to hear beforehand.
Beat by sunglasses indoors Alex Nation. Automatically stream monster hero.

This is the part where sponsorships get weird: if he doesnt get top 64, does Echo Fox drop him for messing around?
Probably a popular player among all the eSporty kids but you cant go around losing 7-3 match ups on stream like that. Wonder what the thought process is to bigwig sort of people trying to monetize these players.
Edit: Before people get all crazy, I’m not saying he should get dropped. I aint trying to advocate a man, even if a young one, lose his livelihood. Similarly I know, lile all FG people know, that random killers are always lurking in the shallow pool waters. So its about discussion. Punk hasnt taken the game as seriously and is in a weird sophmore slump. Im just generally curious about whats going to happen to community members entering these types of relationships. This situation seems like a prime one for examination/discussion.

Evo is just a volatile place before you even talk about Alex Nation upsets.
Hopefully the big wigs dont know its a 3 7 for Alex. Although after this it would be worth bumping it up to 3.5.

Honestly I feel Punk’s been on tilt since EVO 2017. Doesn’t surprise me he lost to an Alex

Rent A Cammy just doesn’t cut it with this much on the line. I know Cammy is top 5 and strong and better than Karin, but it’s just obvious he’s not putting his all into Cammy like he did Karin. Losing to any Alex kinda shows that, although Prototype was definitely the quality of Alex that could do it.
It does bring up that interesting question. What is that sort of breaking point where a sponsor will drop you? How long do you need to post at least reasonable results? WHAT are even reasonable results?
I guess you can go back to what happened to Floe.
chill perth. he lost a bo3 against a rare character.
yeah he’s not doing great this year but plenty of sponsored players are doing worse (marn, chris t, gllty, etc.)

Floe quit actually. Evil Geniuses were actually really happy to keep him because he was a personality outside of tournaments. He created a fanbase that would follow him to tournaments and then back to the streams. In that way he was a really good asset to them.
He just got burnt out on the traveling. Probably could’ve been a sponsored streamer if he had offered it to them.

If that’s the case then Punk probably isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

I’m chill. It’d just be nice to know exactly how is it that these companies that swarmed into the scene are going to treat the people in it.
Yeah, they’re all good players and all that but ultimately their FG dudes. Our community is way different in that our top players are still just dudes in the scene. So even with the slump Punk is going through and how crazy this game is, I’d like it if dudes here didn’t get fucked over.
Which is why all the questions. If one of you guys got sponsored, I ain’t trying to hear some bullshit went down with the sponsor.
Alex’s problems are still real, but he does have the spikey damage to scum you out in a short set. And if you follow Alex at all you probably know that Pro7otype is no slouch
