Seeing an awful lot of folks talking about GGG in relation to Minnow Cup, but I sure as heck don't remember any of them asking me what I think of them being on the same day.

Spoiler alert: I'm happy to see it.
If Minnow Cup wasn’t happening today, would those 60+ teams enter GGG? Of course not. Some would, but I’d wager a good chunk of them are happy with the tournament series they enter. It fits what they as players want from the game, and that’s great! It should be celebrated!
I’ve been around long enough to see event after event fall to the wayside as TOs and orgs get burnt out due to lack of activity. Now, we FINALLY have multiple events that are attracting huge numbers and we still find something wrong with it? C’mon, y’all.
I get the frustration. Seeing community-run open events garnering huge prize pools and hundreds of teams would be awesome. But not everyone wants the same thing from this game. And you know what? More power to them. This game can be enjoyed any way you want.
Apologies for the mini-rant. It felt as if people were using my tournament to push a narrative that fundamentally opposes my views. As long as people are playing the game and having a blast, that’s all I need

With that out of the way… Let’s enjoy some sick Splatoon tomorrow :D
