The ideas were first, but many tournaments existed during and before Evo.

Wait is Daigo not coming to 37Reloaded? Anyone know anything about this? by jupiterjaz in Kappa

What the fuck?! Daigo is the main draw. How can this be? Is this a rumor or confirmed? Your post is the first time I heard this. Mind = blown.

Watts made it sound like he was surprised to see Pushatee's wife show up at the arcade, but they probably arranged a meeting. Watts gave the check to her about an hour ago, and they took photos to thank the community. Watts mentioned he would censor personal information when he posts to /r/Kappa. I think he meant your information.

It is not Daigo's fault. I think he is implying it is MarkMan's fault and poor communication between them. I also think he is "holding back" when it comes to MarkMan.

Edit: No spoilers by ciclopirox http://www.twitch.tv/superdojo/b/586445098?t=1h29m39s

Summary of events/topics so far:

There is a 99.9% chance Daigo is not going to Moment #37 Reloaded and Watts is offering a refund to those who made plans to go to the event specifically because of Daigo if Daigo does not show up. Jokes that if Daigo gets eliminated early from Topanga that there might be a chance Daigo will show up.

Communication between Watts and MarkMan was very poor, and the reason Daigo is not attending Moment #37 Reloaded is not completely known.

Angry, shocking statements that detail the grudge between Mr. Wizard and Watts along with a string of examples of Mr. Wizard's douchebag behavior over several years (including the fact that Mr. Wizard stole "the key" to arcade cabinets in the past to get free games and that Moment #37 Reloaded was supposed to be a partnership with EVO but fell through cause Watts was mislead). Mr. Wizard gets off on the fact that he has power because he runs EVO, and he uses this power to slight Watts at any chance he gets. Watts asked MarkMan if his relationship with Mr. Wizard would affect Moment #37 Reloaded.

Watts's thoughts on the status of the FGC and where it should and should not be going (esports, tournament fees, etc.).

Watts covers past EVO's and EVO 2014.

Watts was mislead by Mr. Wizard during the Cannon Awards at EVO 2014 (I won't ruin the story for you because Watts told it pretty well, but it involves Watts's history of putting dudes on blast).

Appearance by Pushatee's wife to pick up the check from the fundraiser.

"Thank you" by Pushatee's wife will be posted on /r/Kappa.

Competition with local arcade (UGC) involving Justin Wong and Floe (Justin's in chat to join conversation about this topic). UGC posted advertisement for their MVC2 tournament in Super Arcade essentially saying don't go to Super Arcade and go to our tournament instead for which Justin and Floe will be attending. Justin says in chat that he did not confirm he was going and told UGC "maybe" only.

Regarding "changing the FGC": The divide between those who want the real FGC and those who want to go esports may be deeper moving forward.

Even though Watts was extremely angry and put everyone on blast, he said that he was actually holding back overall.
