MLG lost money every year for 10 years straight or something, and IPL was bleeding extreme amounts of money, so I guess it's Esports logic.
You gotta lose money to make money, bro.

Everybody should check out this trailer for a new fighting game on the PS4 and Vita: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyFXo4okMUs

It isn't really James fault that Cammy always gets nerfed so hard.

I guess you have to subtweet now.
Art said he was stopped and frisk. 5 Cops rolled up on him and friends outside and said they were smoking weed. They took issue to his e-cig
Cops ran his name and said he had a warrant. The warrant was from not appearing to a summons for staying too late at the park 7 yrs ago. Went before a judge and the judge said the cops were wasting time with this and dropped everything. DA also apologize for this.

the judge is a stream monster and probably a mod too.

For anyone who tuned into my stream this weekend, was the quality selector actually available?
Anyway, I just got around to this post:
I've been using the XCAPTURE-1 for everything lately. For arcade game capture or retro consoles I think the best options are between that, the StarTech PEXHDCAP, or Micomsoft's PCI cards.

I don't have the Leo Bodnar lag tester, although that thing does seem pretty solid. It's just too pricey for my blood considering that I already have other means of testing my own equipment, even if that device is slightly more precise and convenient. One problem, though, is that a lot of people don't seem to know how to do a proper control test with that thing or interpret the results correctly (making sure that they analyze the right parts of the screen, making sure that they note whether their numbers are raw or just the difference from a CRT for comparison, etc.) and it kind of throws off some of the data that's out there.nycfurby said:

So ESL, a European esports organization, announces a winner-take-all Starcraft 2 tournament for $100k.
SC2 fans are immediately concerned about pot-splitting and collusion.
Maybe Evo had it right with their 2013 prize distribution after all?

Thanks much.
I guess Twitch finally did implement that for non-partners, then.
Well that was embarrassing.
It's been that while for quite a few weeks actually.

I think its relevant for people who watch your show; people that take time/effort to learn the game only to be mentally guard broken by the decisions of your opponent. It doesn't help that Rufus has meh anti-airs.

every time somebody has had to ask this about an fgc event it usually ends in a bad way.
Yo, me too. It's really well-produced. Looks...professional? Who's running this?

In response to our conversation on twitter, Alex (Valle). I think most FGC productions currently are very good, particularly because of the nature of the content that's being provided. A lot of the extra bells and whistles from the Fight Night show were really nice but I'd prioritize it after fitting more matches in.
That's the key thing about FGs over say MOBAs or RTS. We can fit a lot more content because the game is done within 5-15 minutes. Things like replays, player intervews, etc are great but they're secondary to seeing more of the game. That is the meat of what viewers are seeing. When you watch pro sports, many of the additional items that you're seeing are fit between the games themselves during timeouts, breaks, or half-time, etc. However, they will always take a backseat to when the actual game is going on. A good example was during the NFC Championship game two weeks ago between the Seahawks and 49ers. They cut to a commercial but because of the way the officiating worked out, they ran a play during it so they literally had to cut from the commercial back to the game for that play then back to the commercial again lest they get the fans really mad.
So I'd say that I think we're OK with how the FGC streams are running for live events. Perhaps work on the event presentation at the event itself instead of the stream but I don't think there needs to be a lot of extra bells and whistles unless it's stock footage.
If there's a trend where smaller events like exhibition matches show up like what's going on with Fight NIght, then I think upping the production and quality to attract more viewers would be important. But for live events, I'd rather watch pool play over interviews whenever possible. Increasing the presentation at the event itself would also be something. I think CEO did an amazing job of that and it was fun to watch as a result.

Papa Valle moving? Interesting.
Some things I said about ESGN on Twitter:
"I like the efforts being put on by ESGN. Something different to watch supporting some of our best players/personalities. Always room 4 more!
I wouldn't nitpick on the production quality so much as to the potential of the show. Producing shows is that new new to bring in eyes.
What's cool about ESGN Fight Night, they put on a show that made you think of the community rather than just the match being played."
P.S. Not moving out of SoCal lol

I would agree on it being a cool format for sure and it has great potential. I just was expecting them to be a bit sharper on that production end because like the FPS was wonky and etc.
I'm fine with it for being in a show format as well, I just think the FGC has the right idea for how they're doing live events currently and it's working well, for the most part.
