Critical Edge: Cut Off Your Nose to Spite Your Face?

This community died without eSports being in the equation, either due to the community shooting itself in the foot, the game not receiving an update, or from being snubbed by EVO after 2009.

Seriously Malice, what the fuck. Did you even read this "article"? This article is basically calling SRK a bunch of bitches we don't need, which is SHOOTING US IN THE FUCKING FOOT, then going on to state the only way to get anywhere is to join an esports league.

This is just... disgusting.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Jaxel? I really want to know.

Attn: Anyone at SRK who reads this. Not all of the Admins here are in the habit of alienating the community (which we are a part of) to try and make an invalid and self-destructive point.

By extension, keeping things in-house also greatly reduces the risk of having the rug pulled out from under us, while a league's collapse is potentially devastating.

This I feel is one of the major misconceptions I'm seeing in the fighting game community. When WCG and CGL pulled out on DOA4, the definition of your proverbial "rug"; the DOA4 community was devastated. Overnight the entire tournament structure for DOA4 disappeared. Now the question remains, did DOA4 die because eSports pulled out? Or was DOA4 dead to begin with and eSports were propping up a dead game, far prolonging the longevity for the game which could have died years earlier?

When DOA4 in the WCG and CGL collapsed, if the game had a reason to survive, the leaders, players and tournament organizers in that community would have made it happen. Tournaments would have sprung up overnight, and if they game was important enough to people, those tournaments would have survived.
 
Jaxel: DoA4 was a garbage game, even by DoA standards. Without WCG it would have died faster... Shitty example. The rug got pulled out from under them when the designer went out of his way to take out elements of the game's competitive play he didn't like.

I do have to agree with Idle, there is a lot of needless hate to SRK up in this bitch. Yeah, we got thrown out of evo in the past. We have been back since and it was fucking awesome, so who fucking cares if we used to have beef over SC2. That's dumber then the SRK vs MLG thing, we need to find ways to get past beefs like this instead of make new ones within the FGC
