EVO 2016 - FGC 2016 Season - Forget ducking

[Deejay]

Eh, I'd go if you guys wanted to plan like a BG room. I feel bad not going.. I just don't have a huge drive to but I will regret not going the second I start reading stream chat from home.

[Krandor]

Esports has gone too far.

Scar, a MKX player, has been signed by Panda Global, and his contract includes a "No Fatality" clause. He can neither perform fatalities, and if his opponent performs a fatality on him, he has to quit the match so it won't be shown on stream.

[6souls]

Panda updated saying that he doesn't have to quit if fatalities are preformed on him. Him not doing them is meant to bring better funding to Panda events.

[Lokus]

Update to the update: Fatality clause deleted completely, he can do what he wants.

[The Blackrose]

I'm not going to lie. I'm against Capcom's new policy on alcohol sponsors. At least those exist elsewhere with precedent. YP is a harder sell, and fuck vaping.

This on the other hand? This was plain fucking stupid. Especially when you consider that they only banned fatalities, but still allowed for X-Ray attacks and Brutalities? They tried to justify it as saying it would scare off sponsors. Bullshit. I could name at least 5 other things that would scare off sponsors well before we got into MK's content.

[Krandor]

Man vaping gets such a brutal rap these days.

Though it's totally deserved since alot of people seem so determined to be douches about it. I haven't had a cigarette in 8 months and it's 100% because of vaping, but I also treat it the same way as cigarettes in terms of where and when I use it.

Course FDA regulation kicks in soon and is gonna ass rape the entire industry. Gonna have to go cold turkey on nicotine from there on out most likely.

[Sho]

How dare you BR! I vape my Mary Jane all day son!

[Weltall]

This is pathetic, but the ESL MKX stream is 100x better than any SFV stream I've watched lol.

[Krandor]

Does anyone in the fgc even come close to matching the amount of money SonicFox has made these last couple years?

[Callisto]

Not a chance lol

[Weltall]

Daigo does and eclipses SonicFox by a wide margin. My company alone paid Daigo a fuck ton of money just to be a speaker at several engagements. He has like 7 or 8 different streams of income. Before Daigo had the manga, Twitch, Redbull, or corporate engagements, he had a house in Shinagawa and an apartment in Shinjuku. That is easily 4-5k a month in mortgage before any other bills.

Daigo GAVE AWAY 60k for the fuck of it. The end.

[Callisto]

Oh yeah if you count like, real revenue streams and not games themselves lol, Daigo probably made more off his book than every winner of SF games at EVO combined

[Krandor]

Someone made a list on Kappa, and just from ESL and Evo 2015 Sonic has pulled in about $230k. Which is pretty goddamn sick for a kid who just graduated high school like a month ago.

[Nitsuki]

Pretty much the best part is that the kid looks like he's always having fun. Always smiling.

[Weltall]

Man and he keeps it 100% real too. Dude basically called Perfect Legend trash after the 10-0 and 13-0. When asked "did you have it in the bag the whole time?" after last night's win he responded, "yeah I basically knew I had it won the whole time". Lmao get fucked other players.

[Krandor]

It's so amusing watching a teenage furry just annihilating the game over and over again, talking mad shit, and no one can say or do a goddamn thing about it.

I think the worst he's ever placed in a major in MKX is like 4th? And before that he had like a year and a half straight of dominating Injustice and being like top 2/3 in the world at Skullgirls.

[Weltall]

He is also the best DOA player ever, if that counts.

[Akiyama]

He is also the best DOA player ever, if that counts.

no lol

[Weltall]

Then who is? Like every tournament I see that he enters he comes in 1st lol. I've also heard PL say as much in person. You probably would watch DOA lol.

[Akiyama]

I mean in regards to it counting, haha. I tune out when Tekken and DOA are on, but thanks for generalizing.
