Can only use logo? The official introduction of new rules for the event caused public outrage
"Street Fighter" officially introduced new rules for the event this week, and the official will launch a "Community License" for the Event to operate its own event for the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and other regions. This seems to support the development of the new regulations in the community, but after it was announced, it caused dissatisfaction and resentment among the player community. The main reason for this is that the official requirements for the event side are as follows:
Bonus bonus limits, with a prize pool of less than $2,000 per event and sponsorships of less than $5,000 per event;
The Tournament Party shall not charge any fees to the Spectators, nor shall it produce or sell products designed based on the Game;
Capcom reserves the right to use the event streaming footage, as well as any photos or videos, etc.
In addition to the above points, the official has also made other restrictions on the event side. However, in return, the Event Party may only be granted the right to use the Game LOGO and may not in any way imply that the Event event is licensed by Capcom to promote the Event. If the Event Party does not agree to the License Agreement, the relevant Event may not be held. For this "overlord clause", Justin Wong, Maximilian and other celebrities in the circle have expressed dissatisfaction and **, and Justin Wong has bluntly said that "it was pretty trash".
The player group's ** of the new rules has also attracted official attention. The official announced the next day that the purpose of the new rules is to make community events operate more efficiently, and the official is reviewing player feedback with the team and will make updates and adjustments as soon as possible.
At present, the agreement is only for the Americas, Europe and other regions, and the official also said that the agreement only applies to community activities, and larger events need to apply for a separate "e-sports" license. However, many well-known fighting game events originated from community activities, and Capcom's restrictions on community activities this time have undermined the interests of the event parties and participants to varying degrees. I hope that the official can make adjustments as soon as possible so that the community and various events can develop better.
regretful! Nintendo Smash Bros. Brawl is absent from EVO 2022
The well-known fighting game multi-event EVO released an announcement this week that it will announce the EVO 2022 competition items and other information in the form of a program at 9 a.m. Beijing time on March 9. In addition, due to the decision of Nintendo, EVO 2022 will not have a related competition in the Nintendo Star Brawl series. MKLeo may become the first and last EVO champion of Nintendo Smash Bros. Brawl: Special Edition.
As early as the beginning of last year, when Sony acquired EVO, Mark Julio, EVO's commercial director, said that EVO would still be open to all platforms. A Nintendo spokesperson said in an interview with the media that Nintendo will continue to evaluate the EVO, and they are also looking for opportunities to host events. In November, Panda Global, a well-known esports club in North America, announced that it has reached a partnership with Nintendo in the United States to host the official licensed tour of "Nintendo Star Smash Bros." in North America in 2022. It is not excluded that Nintendo's opt-out of the EVO this time is to prepare for the Tour accordingly.
According to the original plan, EVO 2022 will return to offline and hold a long-lost offline tournament in Las Vegas from August 5 to 7 local time. For more information about the EVO, please wait for the official announcement.
