A lot of people don't know what's going down, but suffice it to say: there was already a major tournament announced on these dates in Florida that grants an Evo seed. ReveLAtions went ahead with their tournament anyway.
DISCLAIMER: THIS HAS NOTHING REALISTICALLY TO DO WITH "RinHara5aki" OTHER THAN HE'S THE PERSON ADVERTISING THIS FOR TOURNAMENT LEGACY. MY "BEEF" (IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT) IS WITH TOURNAMENT LEGACY ALONE. NOT LEVEL|UP, NOT "RinHara5aki", BUT TOURNAMENT LEGACY.
I will copy/paste what I posted into the thread on SRK for you all to peruse.

"Meanwhile, we will continue on with our large pot tournament scheduled on the same date, forcing players from other parts of the country that were seriously considering traveling to Florida to now also seriously consider our tournament because of the prize pot, thereby directly interfering with the success of our 'counterparts' in Florida.
We realize that this sounds shady as hell, and we (do not) apologize."
Here's a PM I got on the subject from someone who shall remain nameless:
Translation: you've gone and pissed off a large amount of the community for absolutely no reason.
GOOD SHIT GUYS :tup:
EDIT: Holy shit, so I post that and now I've got more PMs in my mailbox from people who want to remain anonymous but would like to speak up.
GOOD SHIT GUYS :tup: :tup:
EDIT 2 HIT COMBO: I just got off the phone with someone who has some insight on the situation. Apparently TL is banking off of E3 attendance to stick around to stay for the tournament. While they may or may not have the money already for the pot, a lot of their planning may be centered on the E3 date and proximity to try and piggyback off of E3 to create success for their own tournament. The big pot is just honey in the pot to attract all the flies that weren't sure where they were going to go in the first place.
GOOD SHIT GUYS :tup: :tup: :tup:
EDIT 3 HIT COMBO: Someone just brought up this interesting point... SCR was rescheduled into South Florida Challenge by Tournament Legacy last year... As a result, we lost a lot of potential attendance from outside players.
Now the same shit is happening to another Florida tournament. The fuck?
GOOD SHIT GUYS :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:
