Hate Speech War Report: Final Round XV

While the article is good(as always) there doesn't seem to be any mention about swordlord. With all the uproar about how "unprofessional" the commentary was, I expected you to make a short mention/reflection here, with perhaps lesson learned... but surprised to see absolutely no mention at all as if it never happened. This was a bit off putting to me.

No lesson learned speech here. I have ethical obligations to uphold. To answer your question, though, I already addressed that at extreme length in the FRXV results thread a week ago, here.

Not sure what you mean by the 'Evo circuit'. This was just one tournament. So there are specific details to consider. Did the same people organize all the tournaments at the event and put in less effort toward SC, or was it assigned to a different group and they failed? Stuff like that.

And I disagree that Marvel and AE2012 or whatever shouldn't get preferential treatment. It's not like they just get it randomly, those games consistently put in the numbers for both entrants and number of viewers.

What I'd like to know is what happened to the livestream. There was a schedule posted for SC5 to be on the second (FunkyP) stream and not only was it not on at the right time but it was on a different stream as well. Not that I'm complaining that Spooky streamed it instead. And I'm not even gonna complain all that much about it. I'd just like to know what happened.

I agree. I'm not asking for the same screentime or anything. But to put the Capcom games in computerized brackets while putting the rest in, of all things, PAPER brackets? That, for example, screams a whole 'screw your game' mentality from the TO, and by mention, the Evo circuit in general.

You're also correct that I may be blowing this out of proportion and using a slippery slope. This was one tournament, and I'm pretty confident that NCR will not run SC5 as poorly (as the one running SC5 is part of Norcalibur). However, the FGC at large is, for the lack of a better term, kissing Capcom's ass far too much. It's gotten to the point that people only care about Capcom's stuff because these games almost automatically get the screentime and preferential treatment.

WB exceeded expectations in terms of attendance, while FR blew it right out of the water. Upgrading us to an Excel sheet on a computer is the least they could do.
