damn those people who register at the doors :[
I just wish all tournaments would move to pre-registration only like EVO so we could have set brackets well in advance. It prevents shenanigans, it's hype, it lets players prepare. I guess that'll never happen with the FGC being so poverty.

I'm not sure but if you want to see high level Martian then Jupiter is at 8 on the Break almost every week.

That and a lot of top players are apparently super lazy with pre-registering
Our fighting game banner would become an endless stream of Cammy and Felicia.I had a dream James Chen killed Enzo and took over FGW.

That looks like my dog.
You're forgetting the anime. Lots and lots of anime. (only now do I realize I'm replying to the wrong post... or am I???)Our fighting game banner would become an endless stream of Cammy and Felicia.
Game of Thrones to watch though. So at least there's that.
GAF -> Internet -> GAF.
Wait so why shouldn't team mates have to fight each other early if that's how it works out? Seems a little stupid to show favoritism to anyone

Maybe some top players register late so they can play all the late comers or people that register on the spot that might not be as good or dedicated Free pools
Justin is actually pretty good with pre-registering, he always announces it on his Twitter when he does (taking him at his word, of course, there's no reason not to).
I imagine the rest of EG is the same with pre-registration. I can say that in three years of handling on-site registration at ECT, I've never seen a member of EG come through on site registration.
Should have stopped there imofollowing FGC guys on twitter is a bad idea
Should have stopped there imo
following FGC guys on twitter is a bad idea when there is some kind of drama.
Do not assume this is not presently a possibility.Our fighting game banner would become an endless stream of Cammy and Felicia.

I really want to cut down on which FGC folk I follow on Twitter but I dunno where to start.

I don't think they do. This isn't like making two Chicago Bulls players face off. You aren't being unfair, these are just people who happen to be sponsored by the same person. Unless TOs think they need to give sponsors favoritism for some reason.Do teams really matter? Its just a sponsor.

It's the same thing as floating players who are from the same region. People are reaching for some sort of conspiracy here whether they realize it or not.Do teams really matter? Its just a sponsor.

What do you define as a "team"? Is it the act of putting some letters in front of your name, or do you have to be part of a bigger organisation?
Would you have done the same if two random players had got together the night before the finals and decided they were a team? What if the whole top 32 had formed a ECT team?
I haven't read the whole thread, so I'll just say this regarding the bracket change:
The was no "rigging" of the brackets. Justin nor Ricky ever came to us about it. We saw they were close, and moved them. I have said repeatedly that moving people in top 32 is iffy, and moving in top 16 should never happen. The change was made before we even started Sunday, and no matches had been played yet. Everyone is going to believe what they want to believe, and we can't change that. We changed the bracket positions to make it so players from the same team didn't play each other. It's really that simple.
Writing an article on SRK and using us as an example is one thing, but saying things like "As two of the best players in attendance, this gave both teammates an advantage going into the top thirty-two that was afforded to no one else." is just uncalled for, and it's bad reporting. It wasn't done just for Ricky and Justin because they're Ricky and Justin. It was done because they're players on the same team, hence why Ricky was switched with Lee Chung, who was in the exact same position with Zeus (they're both Team PIE). Had that been said in the article, instead of "but it’s absolutely necessary to maintain the trust that events are run fairly for all players, not just those that happen to be sponsored by major organizations.", you'd clearly see that's exactly what we did. What we did for one set of teammates, we did with the other.

I think the issue is, if the tournament was setup that they were going to play each other then they should play each other.

It's fair to the teams but not to the others players on their sides of the brackets though. Zeus, Lee, Ricky and Wong didn't get to team kill each other early on but other players were affected by the change.
