@RLewisReports Help me understand how the FGC actually is not esports when their pro's are lathered up in sponsor logos as are their event streams? They have been preaching this anti-esports shit for a decade now...yet...they actually are esports, that must burn them deep.

It is not just the amateurs, some of the TO's feel very much the same way.
Then fuck them. The pros in the FGC could be living like the rest of esports if they would simply distance themselves from the losers that need the scene because they have nothing else. Those guys will never be close to pro. Why let them dictate the rules?

Now imagine an event where sponsors invest because it's not fucking amateur hour and all the best players and personalities get put on a broadcast that gives worthwhile exposure. No need for those entry fees. Y'know, like how the rest of professional esports works.

Why is that true? We have open qualifiers in other esports and amateurs break through that way.

Because if you do, you lose everything. Who are your viewers? The players. If you make the players resent the pros, they will turn their back on not just the pros, but that game. That developer. Your production(s). eSports for the FGC is run from the bottom-up. Not top-down.

And that's why it'll make no money and stutter along forever.

You don't understand fighting games if you say things like that. It was always about the ability to win against anyone, no matter how "pro" he is. That's what we inheritted from the arcades where the genre was born.

We always gathered to play together, no matter who you are, where you're from, your level or experience. You just get on the line, put your coin and take your chance against the winner. A part of the challenge is to be able to play against players you know nothing about.
