There's just a bit of disregard for events running over eachother, even when looking at how much groups overlap (ex. skill capped) it means it draws away from others Lower player count also means less badges for some events like MMB, making it impossible to get their badges if you're not winning it - ThreadSky

Anyway this is a little rambly, but the root cause is ease of accessibility (which should be a good thing!) being used to push one's way into an extremely saturated market ig?
Now, its even hard to separate an event despite having a high quality stream unless its heavily advertised (lanchamps) imo

Also good players play in events for practice as their main motivator, but those players see the calendar full of those and inevitably get annoyed trying to figure out exactly what they can play in and what matters
Let's just queue up for SendouQ instead its way more worth our time anyway.

🫵 MMB mentioned!!

I fear the badge thing for team count rule inflates team count but never high enough to actually have the badges count, so it’s got a very inconsistent and unsatisfying feeling to it imho

Basically MMB itself has a clause that explicitly draws away players from other events

freshsquiffer.inkling.social•8 days ago

That in and of itself is fine but combine that with inconsistent run dates means it’s hard to plan around that, if I had an event on the same day as MMB I can just assume I’ll get 8 teams or less on my event because of timeslot clash

But I don’t TO anymore, so this is all based on How I Would Feel™️

freshsquiffer.inkling.social•8 days ago

Oh and as a player it means if I’m not as good as top seed I shouldn’t expect anything despite the rules promising badges for lower brackets

Fwiw if I was low level I probably wouldn’t have this opinion so take that as you will

yeah totattly fair ive gotten alot better at TO'ing and we dont do the sign up requirements anymore and we normally plan our events literally months in advance to not clash with other tournaments! hopefully when these new TO's get better it will be like me and tournament quality will increase!

I watched last Monday’s MMB nuke player counts on other events (one was just deleted due to signups)
It really depends on if you reach out to them and such but it seemed… strange to see a prize pool event and MMB run against eachother when realistically you funnel ppl to MM for a better event ykwim

yeah i literally didnt know megaldon monday was running at the same time untill like the right before mmb started like the event literally wasnt on sendou till the day of or the day before so its like i felt bad about it but like i literally made my event weeks in advance so idk abt that one
