ah ! Yeah my sister worked at Michael ' s for a yearish . Almost word for word in line with your experience . <| sep |> Why can ' t everything be like in Aladdin there , rubbin ' lamps and shit <| sep |> Japan ' s got some major issues and some of them can probably be traced to a near total lack of immigration . Regardless as someone else on here already educated you on , there ' s a big difference between a natural ethnostate and wanting to violently purge America of racial minorities to create an artificial ethnostate . Also , white is not an ethnicity . <| sep |> I really want to see another Supermajor that uses the same bracket format as MLG Anaheim 2014 , which put the top 16 in two 8 person roundrobin Championship Pools . The top 12 players would invited straight into these pools , like the invitees for Summit , with an open bracket to claim the last four spots . No one is eliminated as a result of these pools , but they are extremely important for setting up the final bracket 1 st and 2 nd in each pool go to the winners bracket , everyone else goes to losers , but with more BYEs for those who placed better . This way , we get to see top players play a bunch of sets against other top players in which each loss isn ' t fatal , but is still important , and we get to see how all the other players really stack up against each other , rather than their placings being determined by who doesn ' t run into a god first . It would be much more satisfying to watch , since we normally don ' t get to see each top player go against more than a few of their rivals per tournament In winning Big House 6 from the winners side , Mango only went against two top 10 caliber players in Armada and Ice , plus top 30 ish players in Moon , Nintendude , and Mike Haze . Could Hbox or Mew 2 King or SFAT or Plup or Westballz have taken him down ? Probably not , but we ' ll never know . It would also decrease the frequency of the entirely fair but extremely unsatisfying situation of two players who should both be placing higher meeting early in losers such as , off the top of my head , SFAT vs Westballz , loser gets 25 th , at EVO . Westballz went on to make top 8 , could SFAT have done the same ? My favorite tournament of the year in terms of the quantity of high level sets we got to see was Battle of the Five Gods , but , in addition to being exclusively an invitational that the community couldn ' t really participate in , the pools were only for the early rounds , and were seeded so that each of the gods didn ' t face anyone that should have been a major threat . But in these pools , each player would face at least a couple people they don ' t have guaranteed wins over . Just a silly thing that ' s been on my mind .
