EVO 2020 - Still hatin', still watchin'

[Lokus]

no, Punk didn't want to do it unless he got paid.

[Weltall]

Well, if the 2nd best player essentially sits it out, results are a wash.

[Lokus]

Apparently it's going to be 10v10, they are slowly revealing the roster. Team NA has 2 Capcom Cup Champs, EU(+ME) has 2 Evo Champs.

Maybe Punk is actually on the team but even if he is, EU seems stronger in comparison.

[Weltall]

Magically claiming the UAE (Asia) players are Europeans will help that....lmao

Surely EU has 10 players going to EVO and they could make an actual EU team?

[Lokus]

Well, they were EU in prior years based on CapCup regions lol

[Weltall]

Looks like they corrected that in 2022, as the Middle East is segregated into its own qualifying events.

North America has really fallen. The days of Jwong, Ricky Ortiz, Valle, John Choi, Snake Eyez, Sanford, Dieminion, KnuckleDu, 801 Strider, etc., reppin the NA SF scene vs now with Menard, Caba, Mono(WHO?), JB(WHO?), Shine(LULZ).

[Lokus]

Some of them became family men and some of them just didn't adapt to the new game. Same shit, different gen.

Phenom and Louffy did the bulk of the work for their team, ProblemX and BigBird didn't even get to play.

[Weltall]

lmfao I start watching the replay of this NA/EU thing and the VERY first comment is "Why the fuck is some ME players on the EU team?" and commentator had same lame as CPT 2018 excuse

RobTV calling this shit out from the jump lmaooo

I randomly saw an 801 Strider match and he about damn lost to a random pool player. Too many of those players were lost cuz SF5 sucked so much ass.

Isn't the best 3 NA players Idom > Punk > Nephew? And 2 aren't even in this event.

I'm always curious what ppl like Ricky Ortiz is even doing for money. Never cashed in on what could have been a streaming career. Doesn't play SF5. Sponsors aren't giving these people even crumbs anymore. Does what exactly?

Edit: Also, you're right about Shine. Every time I see one of these exhibitions, it seems like Shine and/or Coach Steve is involved and they are complete wastes on the roster lmao.

[AoE]

Y'all need to want better from your favorites and let that 09 shit stay in 09. Lol

[Xno Kappa]

Yo I had no idea Rose has a Ruby Heart alt with the scarf as a chain lmao

[Weltall]

I legit don't think I even knew Rose was in SF5 lmao

[Weltall]

One shitty match > commentators no one has heard of > ad > ad > ad > ad > ad > ad >ad > another shitty match

The EVO 2022 experience so far.

[Xno Kappa]

At least they now have easy to find channels dedicated to single games. Not sure when they started this but it’s much appreciated.

Don’t have to be looking for obscure fgc streamer #32 hosting it on behalf of evo.

[Weltall]

They still have those for some of the games. Channels include:

TexasShotTakers
956Productions
MilkManDanTv
Rizone
+others

Absolute bangers.
