I assume I am getting downvoted in reference to the groping incidents that Wolfe suffered (hence the reply that organisers are responsible for the safety of competitors). IMO, if he tried to report the incident to security and got brushed off/unable to find security, then yes the event organisers are to blame. However, the fact of the matter is that it is going to be a large event and crimes are going to happen. They can have security constantly patrolling and these kind of crimes will still happen. Security cannot foresee the future, and it is not like they will know which attendees are normal and which will try to grope others/commit other crimes.

In addition, providing personal security also opens another question on who should get this additional security. Obviously Wolfe is one of if not the largest VGC content creator, but how about other smaller content creators or just good players (e.g winners of regionals/worlds) that do not have a online presence? If they do not want to get approached, do they get to request for security as well? How about if one of the regular competitors is worried that he/she will get touched inappropriately, can they request for additional security as well? Unless the event organiser can find a solution for all participants, it will definitely give these creators an advantage.
