What have i said so far makes you believe i have something against Japan? Only thing i have referenced about Japan is that people are using a Japanese event as a tool to attack the "Western" FGC.
The reason i keep using him as an example because he is vocal about his attempts to get events started before CR Cup was a thing, only to be told no multiple times. The orgs he went to instead did normal FGC tournament content, which they may or may not change up after seeing the Cup. One of the big arguments Obama and Jiyuna make is the western FGC is not "Growing" or "innovating", but outside of this event the JP FGC streams ranked like everyone else.
How am i now some super fan of Punk? Because i think Jiyuna is a hoe that unnecessarily started shyt when it did not have to be? Because i think people using an event, with content creators way more popular than the FGC ones, to attack NA FGC are wrong for doing so? Is there is something wrong with me calling out someone saying western content is stale, but if you look at their Youtube channel it is exactly the same?
Bruh I’m fukkin with you.
Is Jiyuna a e-whore with hair plugs trolling for content, YES
Is Japan stepping outside the traditional FGC scene, collaborating with other streamers, YES
Is the US logistics aside is as collaborative as JP, NO
Was Jiyuna right to throw shade to the US, NO
Is it Sajam’s place to do something, NO
To sum it up Jiyuna’s bytch ass could’ve framed that a lot better to not incite the west, but he thrives on drama. For example when there was a mass shooting he goes on to praise how safe he is in Japan. In this case he has a point, the US could be doing more for the community, and by community I mean the FGC, NOT sales, marketing, or engagements for Capcom. I mean things like more brehs posting in this thread. Only one person posted about CEOtaku in the past 3 days here, while we arguing back and forth about this. Sorry @KRayner i was watching Brazil Top 8
As for Sajam this dude has done nothing outside of commentating. He’s a high school grad, with no business acumen to present a case or organize something of this scale. If Valle, Spooky, or Big E weren’t so defeated they should be the ones to spearhead this not Sajam. Any size-able content creator has their email in Twitter bio, it’s not hard. If he was that serious he would bootstrap this himself or start networking but like many US influencers they’re hoping someone will get over the finish line. That’s not how it works over here.
Without doxxing myself I was able to work a few FGC content creators and indie developers on FGC related stuff, it’s not hard (Ask DarksydePhil about that). Does it need to be on the scale of Crazy Racc00n, no start small get mid level creators, and create a minimum viable product to show to these companies that hey there is value for this in the west, but these dudes don’t think like that. Therefore when they say, “I tried to do something similar” did you or did you just make a half ass suggestion?
This is business 101 the longer you stay in your bubble, eventually you’ll see diminishing returns, It’s like that for any business. It’s why Max Dood is the largest fighting game streamer he still does FGC content but expanded and still put on his friends.
What active FGC streamer is doing that outside of standard tournaments?
For another example where are the FGC players trying something new like this, and even this is done by their sponsor and not the player?
