EVO 2014: Euro will never Top 8

[Mina]

France can keep both of them. We don't want Triforce back and Europe needs better players.

Shinebox oh my fucking god lol...

[Chun Liroy]

Officially booked my flight for UFGT.

This means I should train up on SF4 again...

[Weltall]

You booked UFGT over EVO????lol

[Chun Liroy]

You booked UFGT over EVO????lol

No...
UFGT is like a month and a half before evo, would you not book UFGT first? I'm almost only going because of the company I"ll be with. I care very little about the tournament other than trolling and shouting obscenities.

[Weltall]

You were saying you couldn't make it to EVO cuz of money previously...lol

I said I couldn't commit at the time. Then I got a legit job. I decided to go to UFGT like 2 weeks ago lol. My evo flight prolly would already be booked if I didn't have to drop $2.5k on a new car.

And now they add TTT2 to the line up. Sent an email to ask how to apply for SSBM and TTT2, still no answer (been like 4 days or so for SSBM). Anyone knows if they have set up a way to register for these 2 games when we have registered already?

[Chun Liroy]

Just saw that in my email. That might be cool for us. BG chat always has that annoying stuttering when you embed a video.

Apparently Eventhubs is claiming they own the tournament results on their site and if you use them to rank players they would sue you ;o

No surprise that EventHubs is a big piece of shit.

The results belong to the tournament, not EH. That lawsuit is made of lulz.

[Krandor]

I don't even understand how Eventhubs could claim to own anything, their entire site is nothing but clickbait, cosplay pics, or links to streams/youtube.

Ultradavid should jump in and explain this on a stream.

Yes, you did. You just booked UFGT and then said your flight to EVO would already be booked if not for $. So cancel UFGT and book EVO immediately..

Emailing [email protected] is the only way currently per Wiz's Twitter.

It really is amazing their tournament keeps growing with our terrible the hosts are....I sent an email 1 month ago and no response.

There is usually a EVO section at SRK (website is terrible now so I don't go) where they answer EVO related questions as well. I'm certain someone has already asked these questions.

Stop frontin'. If money was no issue for you now, you would have booked EVO instead of UFGT. UFGT is inferior tournament and 9 times out of 10 your boys will be going to that as well regardless. If they have money at least. Welt is right on the subject.

The tournament will continue to grow as it's the only big event that everyone counts on. I can promise you if players got a league going, EVO would die out or be bought out, similar to an old skool NFL/AFL situation. The problem is, this situation may never happen, as no one in the FGC has any serious business ethics.

[Weltall]

As long as its in Vegas, it will continue to grow regardless of who runs it. Foreigners and natives can justify the expensive trip for Vegas.

UFGT added as a CPT event, gonna get myself some pointz

Anyone remember this snippet from Sonichurricane?

What can i say? Running these websites is a grind. Up until now i held onto hope that i could make something out of all this effort, but it’s just not happening and it’s time to face facts.

Our whole system of publishing content is broken beyond repair. If you look at any given video i’ve posted on u2b, roughly 2k views originate directly from Sonic Hurricane and roughly 10k views come from an embedded player on eventhubs.

That means “news” sites like eventhubs make at least five times as much ad revenue for every single video that i produce. Yes, we’re only talking about a few dollars here, but think of all the material that eventhubs leeches from external authors like me.

Over the last year, Sonic Hurricane has averaged around 95k hits per month, which probably makes me the most successful dedicated content producer in the community. For the record, i still haven’t made a single dime. I’ve actually lost money! That’s a really bad sign if you’re a video maker or article writer hoping to go somewhere with this.

On the other hand, eventhubs gets three million hits per month, which probably translates into a couple thousand dollars every month for that guy. Now ask yourself how much original content eventhubs produces. Yup, it’s damn near zero.

All their frame data is copied from Shoryuken.com translations of Japanese publications, all their strategy guides are stolen from SRK forums, and all their embedded videos are created by people like me. And the worst thing is, they’re actually pulling the community away from Shoryuken.com – using SRK content to do it!

It’s a sad state of affairs when the only person profiting from all this work is the guy who’s never produced a shred of original content and given nothing back to the fighting game community. And every single day, i have to watch people linking to eventhubs left and right. It’s just impossible to stay motivated when things are this fucked up.

It breaks my heart to see people talking shit about Shoryuken.com for every little error they make, then turning around and praising eventhubs. Where the hell was eventhubs when our community was struggling to stay alive, when all we had were decade-old games?

Say what you will about SRK, but you can’t deny everything they’ve done for the fighting game community. They’ve organized the best fighting game tournament in the world every year since 1996! And they lost money every year until at least 2006.

They don't even get the info on their own a majority of the time. How on earth could they possibly claim it as theirs.

They should probably make adjustments on that. Flocker got a majority of his points from one tournament (i.e EVO2013 is pratically worth double of 2012?) . EVO2012 and EVO2013 were played using the EXACT same game. The only difference was Japanese players and they all sucked.

Also, does anyone here really think the skill level at the Id Global Tournament in Korea was the same as WinterBrawl8, TheFallClassic and CanadaCup2013? lol
