I don't even get what EMP does for players besides take their winnings.

infiltration isnt dumb to let that happen. or is he...

 

[Skilotonn]

Dat VxGsports money bruh.

If the Infiltration coup is true, he really did some work with that VxG money for sure - huge actually despite the impressions of him being shady as hell lately.

 

[Edgeward]

I wonder what Infiltration's notes for TriForce are.

Someone photoshop the Memento pic with TriForce on it

 

[jbug617]

Triforce could be trolling and it's really Yipes.

 

[enzo_gt]

What bothers me is if it's all VxG's money (cause it CLEARLY isn't Triforce's), why don't they all put VxG EMP as their tag? It's a partnership after all.

Out of curiosity has anyone in the FGC community done a Harlem Shake vid. Just wondering.

Check the bitfuteki archives for the dust bowl upstate NY tourney towards the end.

[jbug617]

Triforce didn't comment about Itabashi. Itabashi is also in France with Dieminion.

 

[kirblar]

Triforce is actually made up entirely of money.

Spoiler

That's why you can't see his face

 

[Lost Fragment]

Triforce didn't comment about Itabashi. Itabashi is also in France with Dieminion.

Triforce also sent an emergency tweet to Dieminion yesterday.

Makes sense with the Sega VF tournament going down soon. Plus he's a gdlk SF4 player anyway.

Isn't he Razer though? Or has that ended?

 

[theowne]

Dude, we really need more shocked face gifs if it turns out to be Infiltration. Seriously my mind would be blown. And it makes complete sense for both sides, it just still seems like such a bizarre connection though.

Why does it make sense for Infiltration to go EMP ?

They have island money. They can take care of all his travel expenses and give him a salary even when he's not competing. No other sponsor will be able to or willing to match that offer. That's if he's actually signing with them though. He did leave his team a few weeks ago so their is room to speculate.

 

[jbug617]

Still say Yipes makes the most sense.

Well when Dieminion played at WGC his name was EMP VxG Dieminion.

Open tab, downvote, close tab.

Long-term it makes less sense for Yipes because Yipes can move merchandise in a way Die can't.

 

[Hobobloke]

So where is this money actually coming from anyway?

Triforce found some buried treasure at da beach.

 

[rar]

i'd lose a lot of respect for yipes if he left brokentier for emp after talking about how great it is on that one podcast thing

 

[Edgeward]

When you are EMP, you are EMP FO LIFE

 

[kirblar]

VxG

Through the tourism board, which is why the money's "fine" - but it's not a sustainable business model. If the pipeline gets cut off, its cut off hard and with little notice.

EMP | Arturo "Sabin" Sanchez
I KNEW IT!

EMP | Infiltration is a "FF XIII on X360" kinda of megaton.

 

[TheThunder]

EMPInfiltration...... what....

what ?!!

 

[Professor Beef]

We should ask EMP | KingItachi for answers.

 

[toddhunter]

So they have announced a player joining emp that wasn't true, then announced they were announcing another player and did nothing and now are strongly hinting at the best player in the world without actually saying it or following through.

Seems legit.

Seems like EMP

 

[Dahbomb]

Legit and EMP.... shouldn't even be in the same paragraph.

 

[Seasoned Badger]

I got my "nothing to see here, move along" reaction gif ready when this new player is announced.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Good point. The Adapt shirt is nice and all, but I'd imagine people are generally more interested in getting Yipes gear.

 

[Lost Fragment]

Kev's shirt is my favorite BT shirt I gotta say, but yeah.

Guess I should get an Adapt shirt while I can huh? EMP/BT conspiracy to sell shirts confirmed?

 

[StriKeVillain]

I wish I grabbed a Cabeza de Fuego shirt when they were available.

 

[galvan]

Is there any archives for wgc?

The Infiltration thing is an obvious troll. EMP being super proffesional there.

 

[Stabby McSter]

So the subtitle for the next thread will involve something about EMP?

 

[Lost Fragment]

Yeah if it was actually Infiltration they wouldn't make it that obvious. They'd just announce it.

Then again it is Triforce so who knows.

 

[theowne]

How does sponsoring Infiltration and paying him a salary help St. Maarten tourism exactly? This whole VxG thing confuses me.

 

[QisTopTier]

Triforce is the most mature and professional man in the FGC.

Spoiler

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

VxG clearly traded money for Triforce's excess cans of Chef Boyardee

They're trying to draw people in (both locally and from overseas) to spend money at local businesses. It's like how film productions get tax breaks if they film in certain locations.

 

[Infinite]

OMG Triforce is clearly bullshitting guys. Jeez

 

[Lost Fragment]

Triforce gonna sponsor Enzo to make weekly EMP/VxG threads.

Okay....but sponsoring a player implies flying them out regularly to tourneys. They're gonna pay to sponsor players just to advertise the VxG "name" and get more people from the (small and broke) FGC to come down to St. Maarten once an year?

It's a plan, I guess....

I'm partial to the Viscant one.

I hope enzo likes Top Ramen.
