Florida is nice and cool in January. In fact its kind of cold. Scheduling Apex in January completely avoids hurricanesI think Florida would be great. Aside from hurricane season, Florida really has no downsides.
EDIT: Also hot.
I'd pay more to have snowstorms and death of events avoided, lolFlorida is nice and cool in January. In fact its kind of cold. Scheduling Apex in January completely avoids hurricanes
Plus Florida has bonus destinations to visit like theme parks. Downside of Florida would be the fact that plane tickets would probably be higher because of Florida's theme parks haha.
Didn't the Apex TO say they were going to press legal charges against the venue?The fact that apex was in new jersey wasn't the problem. The problem was the clarion hotel, who promised apex staff the hotel would be a suitable venue for hosting the event. I filmed a documentary that captures all the bs that went down, the preview to which can be found here
Sneak Preview: Apex 2015, the tournament that almost wasn't: http://youtu.be/VLP_r6zvyuc
Full doc going up in about a week.
We as a fighting game community need to take a stand and say it's not ok for venues to make promises they can't deliver on.
That'd be nice, but I don't think anyone makes CRTs anymore. But maybe if a TV company marketed a 'gaming tv' or something that you could change native resolution for / use black magic to fix lag issues.Should upgrade from a hotel to a convention center and find an electronics corporation to sponsor their brand of TVs.
weren't quite a few flights delayed/cancelled due to impending snowstorm? Hotel having a damaged structure was obviously a bigger problem, buuuutThe fact that apex was in new jersey wasn't the problem.
Y'all should be liking this, cuz that's the smartest, most accurate, most concise thing any of us has said so far in this conversation.Apex is a tournament run in the northeast, just because it's the biggest doesn't mean it should move.
If you want the biggest smash tournament in Florida, Las Vegas, etc. then do one yourselves.
There's no rule that Apex HAS to be the biggest.
Also, weather happens wherever you go, yeah there are freak snowstorms in New Jersey sometimes, there's also hurricanes in Florida, earthquakes in California, and without continuously draining the water supply, the population of Las Vegas would die of thirst.
There's a lot of talented dedicated smashers here in the northeast that worked hard to make Apex what it is, and they should be proud to represent their region.
That's true, and maybe i'm not being subjective because i live in New Hampshire, so it was only a 5 hour drive, which on the scale of how far some people traveled to that even't, really isn't much. I was about to type "but really, how productive could a conversation on smash boards about moving apex be, seeing as how that wouldn't get it to move" but then again, if there was a massive public outcry to host apex somewhere else, then it might happen. I think the important thing we should focus on is how the clarion basically screwed us. yeah, they had absolutely nothing to do with the weather, but they promised they could host more than they could, and they just didn't deliver. They also had a lot of mold in some rooms, and many other problems. I think the lesson the smash community needs to take away from that weekend is that we need to be a united front against hotels and hosts trying to screw us like clarion did. Clarion stood to make a lot of money off that convention, thus they promised what they couldn't deliver. It's going to be the focus of my upcoming documentary (link in an above comment of mine).weren't quite a few flights delayed/cancelled due to impending snowstorm?
