Honestly I really wish r/kappa was somehow driven into the ground. Worthless cesspool.

You and me both. r/kappa is not something we should have in the fgc while trying to go professional esports.
That's Mena just being an emotional lil' teen punk, lashing out of some thin skin, if I'm just being honest. Dude's going nowhere. It's easy to say "The money doesn't matter, I'm quitting" when you just won tens of thousands of dollars just a few months prior.
"The true face of a big part of the community"?
Please.

Nah, he got shit from the DR scene, too. Using that as a shield kinda backfired from what I've seen.
It was dying tbh. Just a circle-jerking husk of what it was. I think the Mike Ross AmA really helped it, though.
edit: Wait, what does it even have to do with it? That subreddit is way smaller than general Twitch stream monsters. Spooky made the same connection and I don't think it's accurate.

Spooky is laying the smack on those trying to burn him for putting his stream in sub mode.

Why are people mad now, and not when he would constantly do it in previous events the past several years?
Lmao, when I was watching the stream after he switched to sub mode, beside the chat being readable, notification about new subs didn't stop, I was like "he better make this a prominent thing". Good for Spooky and better for everyone involved that matter tbh!
A popular twitter thread that put American FGC in the spotlight on how it cleaned up its act with the rise of 2009 era competition

There was a looooot of bitching on Kappa about Mena "pulling the race card" over this drama. That's a tell.
Oh, definitely. Still don't think stream monster equals Kappa. Especially lately that place was kinda dead.
I'll be kinda surprised if DBFZ manages to keep that lead by the time EVO actually comes around. SFV has had more entrants in the few majors we've had this year, including the first one for DBFZ.
I think Tekken players are known for signing up early? It's that old "Tekken players have jobs" meme, I guess.
And yeah, the competitive side of DBFZ is already down to "normal" levels. I was actually surprised how much bigger the stream audience for SFV was at NCR. Really expected DBFZ to still lead the pack.

Already bored of Geese Tower and the Hammerhead gas station?
Check out this Watson interview: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/246330025 (starts at around 58 minutes in)
A lot of shots being fired, definitely some bad blood between the OGs but his plans sound good.
I still think doing their weekly on wednesdays as well is stupid, though.

Sounds like they have more stuff coming, but I wouldn't expect a pace like that. Hopefully it'll be faster...
Geese is godlike but hammerhead is yet another barrier stage. I kinda wish they'd have a Tekken 4 legacy stage like Airport or Shibuya but this is extreme wishful thinking on my end.
Yeah for sure. I don't think they expected that T7 would work so well, but their post-launch content was still weirdly thin. We don't even have story costumes for example.
Nah, there's not even a Youtube version and the Skype call cuts off at the end. That's the level here lol
Watson has been talking for a while. It's the same old thing. Valle has done exactly what he said, he grew up, conformed and embraced what the FGC has become. And it's already been mentioned that grassroots events can still happen and we get the best of both worlds throughout the year.
I think both communities can survive. I have good memories of Super Arcade so I'd like to visit next time I am in California. I guess I'm a bit too old fashioned for my own good but if there is a dedicated arcade anywhere near where I am I feel like it's worth supporting. I respect what Alex Valle has created as well and see no reason why it should be a one or the other scenario. At the end of the day more places for people to enjoy their hobby is okay in my book.
I do want to check out Super Arcade when it opens, if only because it's only five minutes away from me and the only actual arcade for miles.
Yeah, the same day thing is weird if that is the case. This isn't even a WNF vs NLBC situation, here, it's the same goddamn region
I think it will probably keep the lead, but I wonder how many forfeits there will be. There were a lot when SFV had 5000 entrants at EVO because people are registering who have just picked up the game.
Ok, but the swan dude is replying to something else, that's what I'm referring to. Or isn't that what the line at the side means (I don't use twitter)
Swan just used this tweet chain as an opportunity to shill UNIST which pissed off Mike Z (because of course it did)
it was some programming meme
EDIT: looks like i need to learn to read
