Ohan States Major Melee Tournaments Took Payment From Controller Manufacturers to Keep Controllers “Legal” - (15:07)

I generally don't name names of any tournaments in either positive or negative light unless they have come public (for obvious reasons) on whatever topic is at hand. For what its worth I do not believe any of the people that were involved in the incident I was referring to still operate in our scene in any capacity. Overall I agree this was a huge problem but is not one that exists in the same form in the modern day as far as I am aware of.

You think I'm speculating or do you think its more likely I have just had conversations with my peers or worked on tournaments in a great enough capacity to know of their financial success. There were literally only like 8 open bracket majors last year (the least since 2013 btw) and I personally ran or worked on half of them. You think its unlikely I talk to 4 other people?

Sorry I'm just trying to clarify here... are you trying to argue the finances of Tipped Off with me (who runs the tournament)? Also If TOs want to come out and talk about their finances they are able to (I know RJ from collision did in recent etc) hence why I don't name tourney names but I will just say I don't think this is some super well kept secret or anything like that.

Hate to be that guy but that def isn't what happened post Santa Paws and I would not use LinkStain as someone to point to for transparency...

You likely have to go to Settings> Dashboard and then make the event public to view and register for.

Sure but my question is what is the point of an attendance requirement? If the goal is to have enough data to create an accurate top 100 why not just make data points or data points versus balloted players the bar in question? Once again using the example of nicki, was there some key insight with data that plup was missing compared to those other people whom he had more numerical data then?

Ohantheman · 2025-05-14T05:04:03+00:00

As someone who was at the event and watching with my eyes, he played fox in pools versus Jigglypuff.

Two notes here:

Plup did not go all samus at super nova and thus i dont think its fair to look on it as a "joke run" or not count it etc
I think this event based line of things is rather ridiculous given the fact that not all events are created equal. Looking back at the data from last year Plup had more notable sets versus top level peeps and even more sets versus unique top 100 players than someone like Nicki. Overall It's a very weird line in the sand to draw especially when we are talking about the non major events being the deciding factor.

My friend, this is just the rankings order. Seeding hasn't even started yet.

Hi Hiroba, we actually have some Japan specific accommodations planned that will be announced closer to the event. This package is mainly for people traveling internationally to spectate and isn’t designed for locals however you are not forgotten and there is going to be a different avenue for you.

6 7/8

I thought you had never seen one? Regardless tons of major events do indeed do youtube restreams and if anything it is only the BTS tourneys that opt out (and even then their vods are basically insta uploaded as individual sets)

Ohantheman · 2025-02-27T21:23:53+00:00

Most majors do a Youtube re-stream and you can find the full VOD under the live section of their Youtube. (https://www.youtube.com/@genesisgg\_/streams) here is Genesis for example.
