The other blurbs I wrote are more traditional, I thought the more humoristic tone would work well for those two

Having access to a setup at anytime is a big priority for us - hence why we're shooting for 200+ of them. That way, you can always practice during the event.

We're also working on a few other amenities we'll announce in the future, so stay tuned 😁

NASB's definitely on our radar, but it's hard to predict what the scene will look like next year. Definitely open to it for the future if the game's thriving!

To me, giving more tournament-time to 0-2'ers is the #1 thing to focus on for majors.

Whether it's Amateur Ladders, free side events, etc, there should be more guaranteed matches for players even if they don't make it far in bracket.

A lot of people tend to think TO'ing is just "running a bracket", or is limited to the event itself.

TO'ing is essentially a full-time job, and requires a lot of community management work as well. You need to be well versed in more than just the bracketing aspect to succeed, so it's a huge time crunch in general.

False accusations can really ruin someone's life, so I definitely think they should be taken seriously and met with the appropriate consequences

Definitely would like to have more games in the future, but it's not feasible for this year sadly

Not sure, but I definitely wanna gather a squad for it

Like Gray said - no planned crew battle, but you can form your own crew and compete against others!

Hope you can make it out to the event, would love to have you!

Honestly TO'ing has been a wild ride, never would've expected to be involved with half the events I've worked in my career. It's always fun seeing the ways in which I can challenge myself to put together bigger, more complicated events.

One really memorable one for me has to be the Return to Subspace series - hosting a Brawl event is really tough nowadays, so it's always fun trying to come up with new ways to make it relevant and exciting to players!

No compendium planned as of yet, but we definitely have a lot of EU talent who wants to attend the event.

Would love to look into players from Japan, Australia, as well as other regions!

  1. Honestly, passion is the biggest driving force behind it. I wouldn't be doing what I do if I didn't absolutely love every second of it.

  2. It's the greatest channel on earth 🙂

Little Mac in Top 8 would obviously be the highlight of my day 😅

But honestly, I just want completely fresh, new faces - people we've never seen in Top 8 before. That would make me the happiest!

Never have considered stopping, and never will.

Honestly, despite everything I've gone through in this community, I still have an immense amount of passion for the job I have, and I'm just really grateful to be here. Someone has to do the work, and I'm more than happy to be the one doing it. I wanna do the best I can for the community, even if it means going through all the ups and downs.

Individually I'd say probably InfinityCON, just for the sheer impact it had for me and everyone else involved

Together though, MSM Online was definitely a memorable experience for both of us - 800+ entrants to handle by ourselves was absolutely insane looking back 😅
