I got hit with the brain destroyer 😭

Egg? don't you realize the lore implications of relating Gaster to Eggs

🥚❓

WHAT

let me explain it like this:

> established org status has an attendence requirement

> some days are busier than others for comp splatoon

> tos will feel incentivized to make tournaments during that busy time

> timeslot quickly becomes oversaturated

> playerbase for that timeslot is spread thin

the issue is that it will cause an oversaturation in "popular" timeslots for registration numbers, which will spread the playerbase thin, and people who cant make 8pm on a saturday night will just be shit outta luck unless some madlad pays sendou money to host a tournament any other day

mind you, it not going well doesnt mean it'll go away (see also: plus servers, results tab, badges to some extent (unfortunately))

im assuming this is because of tournament over saturation but this is such an extreme reaction for a very minor problem tbh

Consolidating all that freedom and power to very top is never a good idea.

Also you keep bringing up that idea of it being a goal for new orgs to achieve and its like, no one will want to run new orgs because the bar is so ridiculously high, it's join an existing one or bust. It's like building a damb in a river and letting the water become stagnant.

Seperate due to the freedom it gives.

If we were to unite under a single org, we would still not be able to achieve that high bar but will also have many conflicting views on organisation in a tight constricting space. A recipe for disaster.

She was hosting tournaments before she was a patreon supporter, and she is the only one in the region that could donate, she is the only one with an org

Oce is full of independents who have different goals and ideals when it comes to running events, while we help eachother, we also like staying

An anagoly of constructing a building comes to mind: what your doing is picking away at the foundation in order to reinforce the higher floors. Which in the long run will make it easier for the building to crumble.

Does this make sense?
These are my thoughts on the situation.

They will not be able to find the smaller more suitable events and be discouraged.

Sendou also provide very important visibility for smaller orgs and tournaments and is easy for new players to navigate, with ease of sign up, and discord connectivity makes it easier to find what they want.

Smaller tournaments are very important for newer players to get the bearings and find community with eachother to learn and grow, they will know sendou from content like procharas and go to there. A new player will not know challonge or battlefy and will be warded off by the big daunting tourneys

Forcing that important part of the scene to other sites will lead to many of them not being able to sustain due to how important sendou is to splatoon comp. Also this new change is very NA and JP centric, the hight bar will remove those smaller scenes (like OCE, which I'm from) off of sendou

Too many tournaments is not an issue that needs this level of reaction, small tournaments are very important to the ecosystem of a competitive scene not just the big flashy stuff. And naturally alot of the weaker ones will stop running especially with you not handing out not as many perms as before.
