Its at EVO nonetheless, and lol I get it xD tbh I regret even bringing it up if all everyone gonna do is bring it down as if its not important. They may as well not even have had it at evo with the lack of enthusiasm most players are showing atm
It's not that we're having low enthusiasm, you're just having extremely high enthusiasm. DOA has pretty much clashed with EVO since forever, and like I said in your post, the cost to go there is extremely high just to go for a side tourney. Hell, even VF5 is getting a side tourney there, along with a bunch of other stuff. It's not special.
The EVO administration board has been talking shit about our game and community for years, both publicly and behind closed doors.
So its my choice to simply boycott anything associated with them. While others may reach a different conclusion, I personally can't understand why they would. Especially when the trip costs so much.
EVO is a pretty expensive trip. I tell myself I'd go this year and the next and then I look at the budget and it's like "Yeah dunno, I want to do more than just EVO if I'm paying this much".
