.@MacDsmash No, "prestige" is the intangible glory/"importance" of winning a big event. Numbers are tangible and directly help the scene.

we get the numbers & viewership because of the prestige. not because it's a "good" tourney by our standards

I'd argue the correlation between numbers and prestige is a chicken-and-egg type of thing

how? Smash wanted to be a part of EVO because it was EVO. because of what EVO was/is. because it was the biggest FGC event

ie you say the numbers are there bc of the prestige; I say the prestige is there bc of the numbers, which took years to build up

ok, but that's a dif convo. take out EVO prestige, what do we get? no teams, 2/3 till top 3. terrible by Smash standards

.@MacDsmash Who is "we?" The top players? You're arguing from the perspective of a top player. I'm arguing for the health of the scene.

i'm arguing as a Smash fan. watching Armada/Lef & Mango/Hbox in 2/3 semis?? that's dumb. No teams?? that's dumb
