SoulCast Episode #2: Esom

I'd also like to say one more thing. When talking to one of the head people at MLG, he acknowledged the fact that in the past they messed up in the FG division for MLG. He also said that MLG is, "Trying to win the FGC back." They are trying to win US back. Not the other way around where we need to beg them to put our game in MLG, they want OUR respect. I'd say with the current MLG event, they did everything to cater to the FGC and by him saying that, it truly shows me that MLG really cares about doing events for us and wants to keep doing events with our genre of games. Take it from me and I'm sure a lot of others at the event, it was not this disastrous event as Esom made it out to be. This was run very close to flawless.
 
Thanks for all the comments, guys; this is exactly why we wanted to do these podcasts.

Unfortunately, no guest is going to be objective, so you ALWAYS have to take what they say with a grain of salt; remember that these are interviews with people who have their own perspective and opinions that won't always agree with what everyone else experiences. As a couple of people have already mentioned, Esom was in a bad situation which MLG staff only made worse, so he's going to have a sour taste for the whole thing.

But, the news that another patch is already in the works was welcome news to us as well.
 
I didn't watch the podcast (I like reading these types of things more) but, yeah, MLG was definitely the best ran tournament I've ever attended. It's everything a tournament should be, and everything was clear and concise with no room for confusion. I heard some people got DQ'd for not being at their stations and I honestly don't even know how that was possible; they literally were calling DK for going on 45 minutes (and wasn't going to DQ him until the hour mark) until I literally went up here and told them he wasn't there.
 
Besides some minor issues, the consensus from most people is that MLG was one of the best ran tournaments that they've been to. The only thing I would like to see them do is seed by region.
 
Hard to do seeding when there's no ELO system, qualifiers, while trying to keep the tournament fair.
