i dunno ,i dunno how to build constructive sentences , so just assume im lazy to think,but last year i just felt tat it suck,i mean , year after year the prize getting lower n lower n lesser number of ppl joining or spectating.even prelimnaries r gone, but i know tats cause by something else,not the organizer fault. maybe its just our malaysian bad habit,every year just sit n wait for durian season to come
hmm if u base on that its not just wcg alone to b blame. other tourney oso facing the same prob as well.
abt prizes and gamers getting lower every year maybe the organizers can explain whts the prob. and part of it is not true. For example FIFA is getting bigger every year. But other games like Starcraft are not doing so well bcoz there are less ppl play in Malaysia. But they shld not be neglected in any way coz last year James Rambo did well in USA. We have the talent and ability to shine but we just need the opportunity.
Talking bout which games to add, this is solely base on votes. Its not jst Malaysia votes that counts, its the whole world votes. So if the majority ppl in d world not playing a certain games, it would not b played.
And at least they still can manage to send all the games to grand final. Other countries oso facing the same problem as well even our fren down in WCG Singapore couldnt even send all the games to the grand final.
I felt that ur statement towards WCG team alone is unfair. Compare to all the tourney in Malaysia, WCG is still one of the best. All the tourney are facing the same prob but for omost 7 years in a row they still manage to send all d champs for d grand final. In fact they still held another qualifier for WCG Asia during WCG Kick Off to allow others to challenge the spot to rep Malaysia in Singapore next month. And all d champs are fully sponsored.
Some tourneys were great in d 1st year but went missing years later. Some dun even hv a proper prizes to give away until they have to give sumthg which is only valuable during raining season.
This is their pros. But their cons is the promoting part. I feel that although WCG is a well known event in Malaysia but the promotion must never stop. For example the WCG prelim. There were not much promoting done for the event. Most are thru the forums. Plus the WCG banner were only up when the WCG prelim started. It shld have been up 1-2 weeks earlier at each respective CC to generate hype and to let others to be aware of the prelim. Plus there were no follow up after WCG end which i find it quite sad. It would b better if the hype generated from the event will be continuously used for next year. This will create more newcomers to come and the veterans to stay.
It is a nature that people always need to b reminded so the promotion must go on the whole year.
Although gamers and the gaming trend were to b blame a part of it but this is sumthg not impossible to be solve. Gamers oso must take this opportunity which one day will die if there is no support from the gamers.
But i would like to hear as well from the organizing team why the above prob occur every year.My final take, dun jst simply bang. Give constructive critics. Let them and every organizers noe what they need to improve. They are willing to listen.
