Super majors like this should honestly be charging 30 a person. Never been to a major tourney but the thought of it being the same price as a local in a shitty anime shop is insane.
Melee is just simply dying for real this time. The sponsors have left, the tournies are bleeding one by one, the top streamers barely break 500, and the community is insanely divisive and gatekeepy. Loved the game and the community, but at some point we need to let go.
honestly 100 dollars for what is essentially a 3 day convention with 24 hour venue at genesis is absolutely ridiculous value compared to most conventions. people complaining about that was some clown shoes ass behavior. I honestly think that most bigish tournaments "should" be about 1.5-2x the price they are (by which I mean if our TO's were charging "market rate" for these types of events that is how much they would cost)m and some even more. like, these events are cheap as shit on the scale of things.
Deserved honestly, mishandled so many me too situations. Allows shitty people in the scene and with how they mishandled the hax ban... Sounds like karma to me.
@@TheIronyoshi I mean get your head out of the culture war and breathe actual air instead of the asses of right wing grifters. This has nothing to do with anything except esports being a money drain. If LoL, the biggest esports, isn’t profitable then no way is Melee. I agree with you about Hax being unfair but you are so fucking unlikable with your headassery it’s almost irrelevant.
@VivvTriesIt I mean I don't go to locals anymore due to my life changing over the years, but shit that happened at Big House definitely made me not want to go to majors or meet top players anymore lmao don't meet your heroes kids
Tldr He went to coach volleyball for highschool and organize highschool volleyball events and thay eats into his time. Melee is getting too expensive to comfortably run. He did not and has not reached out to other big money people to take over because he believes no one obviously or immediately apparent could and still run it with the same scale and flag ship name.
@@kylarjonez4256my first thought. Ludwig’s Scuffed World Tour killed Panda Global, they can do it. But sponsoring many players is already a drain can’t imagine they’d take on more drainage.
True they should make more money with Majors... Also this could rise the price pools which would be exiting I will miss watching Big House.. Was such an AMAZING series..
It's tragic but has absolutely nothing to do with the economy atm. As multi-faceted and complicated as the term "economy" is it is doing well by most metrics, one of which is incredibly low employment rates. I think it's more to do with popularity and the low ask from tournaments monetarily of the attendee to make the tournament more accessible that make it not profitable for the organizers. E Sports as an industry is in the red financially and has been for 7+ years

Honestly, way more than that. Go wash dishes for a night at your local diner if you can't afford it. Should be $100 or more.
Hundred? No that’s just terrible business man. They’ll make way less money charging 100 than 5 bucks.
what an oxymoron. Smashers? Money? Pay? hahahahahahahahahahahaha
I can tell you've never been lmao you'd want your money back so fast!
🫶🏾 to Juggleguy, RIP 😢
Thanks, I’ll try my best next year to make it a possibility
Dang he’s dead

Facts
Thank you for your advocacy for things being made more expensive and inaccessible.
@@markantony9038 then dont complain when there's no tournaments to go to. Clearly this discussion is too big for you.
@@markantony9038 ah yes that is exactly what I was saying. what an accurate and not at all straw-manned representation of my comment
Well yeah a lot of the people complaining on Twitter about venue fees are just netplay goobers that would have never went anyways
Man this is the first time I’ve truly felt that Melee could be dying

I'm pretty happy about it. We need new TO's and this is how it starts.

i occasionally watch codys content.. not that frequently. this is the best ive seen. Its nothing special but he's improving
One day, melee will take place the same place as dog fights.
Welcome back you see color
The cody curse
It needed to be sad
I was thinking about this as a possibility too

Really unfortunate hopefully he can come back in a few years
I dont think there are many TOs more important to the scene than Juggleguy. Thanks for everything. Now go win some damn volleyball games o7
once prices goes down all the tournaments will be back
No they won't
If nintendo open sourced the game after they stopped supporting it all problems would have been solved .
Great video
Melee is just dead, it had an amazing run though
Welp. Shit.
I'm so fucking sad
