Was AnimEVO side tournaments not a thing this year?

Not under a central umbrella. Last year they were called Vortex Gallery instead of AnimeEVO, and that name seems to have stuck for other tournaments since, but they did not show up for this year's EVO. Instead, different initiatives apparently popped up, but they lacked a stronger organized effort seen in previous years from what I gather.

Oh yeah I forgot they changed the name.

Was just a bummer I couldn't find any competitive Catherine or Puyo Puyo this year. :smith:

Puyo Puyo for the Marvel slot Sunday Grand Finals next year.

"Across all 9 finals in '22 there were 259 min. of ad breaks (28 per game). That dropped nearly 45% to 145 min. (16 per game) in '23."

Seems good

Idk he doesn't count time between brackets as ad time but it probably should be. Also the frequency of ad breaks went up significantly which makes the show worse.

Also they're comparing it to Evo 2022 which also sucked rear end in terms of ads. Id be curious to see what these numbers look like compared to other majors, and what a local top 8 looks like that's just ppl with no sponsors running a tourney.

When can I subscribe to Evo Premium so I don't have to sit through another Qanba ad break?

SonicFox revealed today that he was offered a spot at the Gamers8 invitational in Saudi Arabia, but dropped out because he "doesn't enter tournaments he can't win" - I wonder if that's just a kinda weird excuse for being rightfully terrified of visiting the country as an LGBT person

The same tweet also says they'd go if there were a MK1 tournament, though. https://twitter.com/SonicFox/status/1689020179907481603
