So while I'm unemployed, I obviously have more free time that I'd like. I'm either doing this everyday:
1) Studying for my insurance exam (need 1 more license to work for Farmers)
2) Spending time w/wife/friends/family
3) Thinking about how to grow the SC community (Aren't I sad?)
I came up with (I think) a great idea. SBO does this, Street Fighter majors do this, etc:
What about having a major JUST dedicated to a team tourney, 2v2 or 3v3?
-You pretty much guarantee people coming because you don't want to be THAT guy on a team and not go, letting down your teammates.
-The numbers would be huge
-Most top players, if not all, are proud to represent their region
-You could also team up w/somebody who happens to be a good friend/a player you know from whereever
This encourages obviously people to
A) Learn the matchups in and out. It's not just your ass on the line, you have to carry somebody else
B) People will continue to practice and not just by themselves, which is boring as shit as we all know
C) I'm sorry, but this game NEEDS rivalries (regions). I don't know about you all, but I'm enjoying every minute of SU vs KDZ. 2 top players who did very well at majors and STILL have fire in them. We need to help keep that burning IMO
D) And my personal favorite, which guarantees to keep the game alive: Travel for tourneys
Instead of the "who's dick is longer" contest to run the next nats, how about focusing on what we can do as a major next? Me personally, I'm down for 3v3.
And of course, we can do the team tourney on a sat and a singles on a sunday. Thoughts?
