If people are coming just to win and just to play in the LAN to win at a certain game then I’m sorry, perhaps they should be more focusing on playing in some other types of tournaments then that of a LAN event where if I had to guess 95% of the people are just there looking to have fun and play the game, while winning prizes and “winning” the tournament isn’t their first and foremost priority.
I believe the principal is that they don’t want to have to force people to make the choice between playing in one tournament or the other, but to have the ability and the choice to participate in any tournament there is. But because consoles are limited to the amount of people are playing in one tournament at a time, there is an ability to allow multiple console tournaments to be ran at once or possible even a console tournament as well as a PC tournament.
Perhaps an organization should happen that designate a certain time period only for a set amount of console tournaments to be ran? Perhaps a console tournament could be ran while the Quake 3 tournament is being ran?
Overall I’m just getting this vibe that you’re trying to turn this into some professional competition between players when it should just be about the fun, winning prizes is a perk that Adam and the rest of the executives have worked hard in getting us, so enjoy it.
