This is basically the story of what happened. Arturo’s team didn’t get picked, so we put Arturo on our team, kicked Jan off the team. Everything was OK’d by the organizer, he doesn’t tell the other team and they have no information, so we start to play against FZ’s team.
Ricky goes and gets cigarettes, they rush us to play, so I go first. I sit down and they put up ALOHA (Zangief), and I’m like fuck well I guess I’m dead weight, so I clutch out a win and everyone’s hella happy, then FZ (Viper) decides to go next, and I scrape that nigga FREE, and then I lose BARELY to Namameso (Honda). So afterwards we’re like, alright Arturo next, so Arturo sits down, picks Dhalsim, and no one says SHIT. Arturo beats this mother fucker then everything goes to shit, they stop everything, we don’t have a translator and they’re like, they want to start over because they thought we had a Gief (Jan) and they didn’t know we had a Sim. But we were like, no just start it after I beat FZ then, but they fucking declined that shit. So we had to start EVERYTHING over. Then they fucking put Kuroken @ Potemkin (Sagat) first, we put Ricky first, Ricky pulls out a win, then the Zangief comes back and beats all of us. Grimy. Ass. Shit. End of story.
the made it clear they didn’t know arturo was on the team somehow so there had to be some communicating. they should have just refused. They already had 3 legit wins and 4 players left to play.
While most events are trying to perfect the process of setting up a stream, SBO was already streaming before most events, the complaint is that sbo went from a stream, to a watered down stream, to maybe no stream at all.
I’m not sure why anyone would be embarrassed as opposed to encouraged by things such as godsgarden and other streams. If you took a live transcription of say, the world series, the super bowl, the world cup, or sbo itself, I doubt you would see much of a difference. Some people may not want that log seen, and the simple answer is to embed a chatless frame in the event for the site, so the default user doesn’t see it, or disable chat altogether, the same way that a live broadcast of an event has crowd noise, but not the details of the conversations.
As far as having ‘no love for the game’,consider that the US scene both paid for Daigo to come to Evo, and held tournaments to send our own players to Japan at their expense. I’m pretty sure we’re holding up our end.
Real talk these niggas were getting their shit pushed in, then they want a do over?? Why didn’t they say shit after I picked my char? No instead they only complain after they lose. Niggas are Fucking grimy even in Japan. Its normal to start over after we beat 3 of their guys? Are you on crack?
