Difference is; East Coast too busy dissing each other and talking shit. Not trynna make each other better, while the West Coast got each others backs n shit.
The realest of real talk.


And this would've been 7-1 (aka Brazil tier) if it was an 8v8. I mean if WNF can get Justin and Mike Ross to come on board? SSSHHHHIIIIEEETTTTTT
 
I honestly doubt that Street Fighter finals will be hype.

Real talk, from about top 16 or so on today, it was sort of boring and that'll continue during the finals. But before that? Amazing.

Brilliant day of entertainment.

Kadey, how we doing thread wise?

From memory we hit EVO thread 2 going into day 3, but didn't quite need it. There will be fewer people posting about marvel tomorrow, but at 40 times the volume. So it should get there a lot quicker this year.

If I wasn't on my phone I'd go through the last few FGW threads and quote all the posts where people said WNF would get rolled by NLBC were it not for Snake Eyes. Y'all had a rude awakening.

Honestly though, as a west coast player that was grueling to watch.

I would have to work on the day of Injustice finals and Marvel. Fucking real life getting in the way of my comic book fighting games.

That was pretty awesome. NLB was relatively free, but it was Omega free to people like Dieminion and Sanford compared to this beforehand and got here, so here's to leveling up all over again.

Same here, man. I can't even sneak a window open on the browser, as it'll fuck up the podcast recording. So I'll basically end up hitting F5 on this thread while I monitor levels all day.

And that's exactly what I meant when I said it's a lose-lose match for NLBC. Snake Eyez is the only really "known" (I know Keno had his moments in 2009, but c'mon 5 years ago) player. So with a bunch of veterans losing 5-1 (and the 1 being Snake)....the back lash going to be huge.
 
East Coast = March Madness
West Coast = NBA Playoffs

Yeah, one's probably way more hype to watch (as Spooky's numbers bear out) but the other is just a higher quality of game.

fgc is dying

I'd like to think it's more that a higher percentage of GAF is actually in the building, doing stuff, as opposed to being at home, streaming stuff.
 
At this same time last year we had 10,717 posts. So yeah. We are way behind.

Not enough marvel day one.

I missed almost all of day1 due to work, friday, and music in the park.

Hopefully there will be people into fighting games at my friend's baby shower
there won't be.

Last year there were 3 games with finals on Friday.
Plus there were a lot more casual viewers, since Super Smash Bros Melee had its debut then as well.

This is probably even less than the year before that, IIRC.

:(

First day was good. A lot of upsets, but most were off-screen. One really memorable moment and a lot of great matches. Injustice getting screwed is very unfortunate though.

marvel is starting tomorrow and I already have the most posts in this thread, oh gawd

Many people are banned, you have DOTA thing going and world cup will affect some viewers for some time so this year is not looking to surpass last year.

Yeah the TI4 is taking some attention away from EVO.

I will see you guys tomorrow during Marvel Quarters/Semis because pools will be boring as hell (although with the occasional crazy game on stream).

Marvel pool is the most boring crap on this planet. You can count me out and I love watching Marvel. I will be tuning in for top 128/256 or whatever the number is.

The World Cup will be over by the time marvel top 8 starts. Not sure about dota. I'm thinking highest concurrent views will be around 190k

Would've been a good day 1 if the majority of the good matches were on stream. Seriously, who decided Daigo vs Choi had to be played off stream?
