Lap Chi is sooo shady, the guy even looks like a rat( My apologies if you are a friend of his, I'm strictly talking his online persona). He locked down that tournament completely if you didn't pay that 8.95.
Trust me he is trying to make money off the FGC, he even bragged about it at the IDCAFE event.
His after parties-he puts hundreds if not thousands of dollars into buying people drinks and shit just so people have a good time afterwards.
The guys a real estate broker, it's all networking.You act like major sponsors didn't go. Hes also a drunk that by his own admission likes to get people drunk so he doesn't have to do it by himself.
I wish I could pull up that CAFEID vid when he talked to Zhi for hours about it.
If he wants to charge, just charge 5-8 bucks to speak in chat like all the other events, and give out special twitch icons. They made a shitload doing that. But don't lock down a whole tournament like it's PPV.
That's the shit the Japanese can get away with since SF4 is like a sport to them, but in America/Canada? give me a break. EVO doesn't even get as many viewers as the lowest tv show on a cable access channel.
Anyway, the backlash was so great after the first time I doubt he will try that shit again.
Stream monsters are incredibly misinformed lol
If there is any mis information it's coming from him. He's a loud mouth.Stick him on stream, and get him drunk and he sings like a canary.
