wild cards in tennis tournaments (even grand slams) don’t need the people to be “special”. they are just supposed to make the event gather more viewers/attendants.
wild cards holders usually come from the host country, or may be popular veterans that could not have qualified against the younger crowd.
I don’t care about esports, imaginary sponsors, or whatever. Let them play their way in.
yeah, i was at taito station from 2pm till 830pm… managed to see iyos ibuki for abit
it doesnt really make sense if hes entering with dhalsim
iyo and daigo are big name players that have a huge following and draw in big crowds, more hype etc. cry its unfair but its also a buisness and sbo are smart enough to know having those 2 will do a lot for them. its a smart business decision. they still have to qualify, its not a totally free entry. its all politics at the end of the day, gaming is no different.
sorry, Daigo is special. He is the most popular fighting game players.(in Japan and oversea) Japanese TV follow him when he was 16 years old. They also made a documentary about him last year or 2 years ago.
Daigo’s team didn’t need to qualify for SF4 national too. Don’t be mad. This is how the real world works. Fair != real world.
Daigo is special… but so is the reputation of Tougeki. I think Arcadia is selling themselves short, by compromising the integrity of their tournament. That’s just personal opinion. It’s not about what’s “fair” or anything else, similarly childish. Tougeki, itself, has a reputation, and it stands for something, and they need to be interested in protecting that. That has value, also. I think, more value than whatever whatever they would lose by not including Daigo in ONE edition of SBO (not including him, do to his own actions).

SBO changed bracket ? If I find the bracket , I’ll update
So apparently Planet Zero never had a spot at SBO so Hsien and BananaKen got scammed! He gotta enter the last minute qualifer.
lol, i hope planet Zero atleast sent them to Japan for free.
Think about that for a second.
Fuck Planet Zero for real lying to people about spots you don’t have is just really low
pretty sure this isn’t the first time there’s some shit going on with planet zero/tougeki
yeah, but they tried to make amends earlier this year/late last year but I guess things never change. Can’t wait for the bananaken pop off.
PZ has been fucking people for years. This is nothing new. Just another tale in the loooooooong saga.
wow, if they fuck with people every year and people still believe them. haha.
