Pretty much what Mayneak said.

There are too many titles. But it feels like the only reason people battle these days is because they feel they're in with a decent shout of grabbing 1 for themselves because so many of them are up for grabs so often.

Shit like this was a none issue back in the day. People used to battle because they wanted to and when that GC came around it felt like something epic and special. The buzz around it and the spin offs from it. The banter. Emotions steming into tracks and all kinds of exposing was quality.

Now because there's so many tourneys knocking about it's a lot easier to lose interest and any kind of hype or investment because there's always the next 1.

When it was just the GC that was all or nothing. It was what you had been waiting for. Your 1 chance to be grouped with the select few who had won it prior.

That simply isn't the case anymore and the effect is the same in terms of those who have won it.

No offence but I see some Big winners these days and I just don't hold them in the same esteem as I used to with winners from years ago. because they're being thrown around like candy.

Not saying those guys couldn't have won back in the day, it's simply down to over saturation.

I also think people no showing could be due partly to so many tournaments/titles.

Again. there's always the next 1 mentality.

But take them away and the site will be more dead because..well shit aint happening.

The site has "spoilt" them. You can't revert back now.
