RIP super arcade

is valle scaling back to just majors maybe?

Almost definitely not but you have to understand that valle collects revenue on WNF/TRB and any other level up nights(once in a while on weekends i think) and gets all the stream profit which probably isnt much but the subs alone are a small income. Super arcade runs on a really tight margin and whether the place can't continue to operate after is really not the point, he needed to cut out valle to attempt to make a little more money or the place will probably close either way, as of now if the attendance drops 40% he will still be net positive most likely, and he could easily close on thursdays and just make wednesday the all-in-one night.

Of course Lapchi didn't lose money. He didn't go all Shang Tsung and fly in the best players from Europe and Asia.

What would change, operating costs? Because it probably isn't the viewership unless everyone renewed their 8.95.

What, you mean having a peak viewership at 1/3rd of a League of Legends streamer's Tuesday isn't good enough?

Apples and oranges. I tried watching on Friday but the stream quality was so bad it wasn't worth even having on in the background. It was like a Japanese stream from 3 years ago.

Watson tweeted today about doing more Smash stuff which has done well for him on Sundays. With the new Smash game I imagine doing more with their community/communities will only get better for the arcade.

Holy poo poo, Pepeday. That was so scary. Fuerte going barely over the ultra from Seth was quite intense for a not-match point moment. I love how the crowd goes nuts for just about every hit Fuerte gets in.
