I don't know if I buy the "all roads lead to Evo" thing. it's more like there's Evo and then there's a bunch of other random tournaments that most people don't know about until they've begun.
I think it'd be cool if they made the whole thing a little bit more professional. they should have some kind of scoring system like in Golf or Tennis or something that assigns rankings; finish first place and you get 50 points, second and you get 25, etc. Evo started getting more professional this year with serious commentators and Ultradavid dressing up and all that. I hope they push more in that direction. obviously I don't want them to get too professional because it could kill some of the hype, but I'd like to see someone maintain the pools/brackets online so everyone knows what the hell is going on, for some on-screen graphics, for some replay technology (Ark nailed this one in the Evo topics), etc. how can you have that Tron level 3 without a replay afterwards.
anyway, I just want more amazing atmospheres like Evo. you couldn't have that kind of top 8 anywhere else, and it's not because the players don't come. it just isn't as crazy exciting when it's not the super bowl of sporting events. call me greedy.
They do give seeding points to people that place high during pre-EVO season tournaments. I think EVO is perfect the way it it right now. They just need a live updated bracket.
