    its a interesting conundrum

    Invite someone who is known in Apex circles

    or

    Invite people who play with a variety of skill levels and would have enough to fill out a team/tourney

    Doki’ll be happy. Sakura / Chihiro is playing too.

    tbh they must be thankful that apex and ea did not revoke their permissions

    The tournament organizers won’t really care too much about that, honestly. Its not really their problem to deal with. They send the invites to known apex players, and that’s it.

    I’m seeing people talk about filling slots here, but that’s not the value Corpos provide to tourneys. Corpos are generally onboarding variety-games talents with an FPS background. This means a wider untapped audience with less overlap.

    Say 50,000 people watch apex. And you have 3 massively popular apex-only steamers. Most of those 50,000 viewers are shared/cannibalized between each other. You won’t gain much from fielding another team of apex-only streamers, because that audience is already maxed out. They would just be drawing from that pre-existing viewership. *Variety streamers on the other hand, are drawing outside of that 50,000.* They are bringing in viewers who otherwise watch other genres or FPSes.

    Being able to bring in an audience that isn’t already invested in your game is key to increasing your outreach. And while Doki can provide that on a one-man level, Niji can field a dozen streamers with that type of viewership. It’s not just about filling slots.

    I obviously want TOs to choose Doki over Niji. Ethically, it’s the right thing to do. It’s also a really shitty look to blacklist a talent on behalf of a corpo. But we need to be aware that TOs won’t always take the moral road. We should also be aware a lot of these tourneys are JP-based. That audience is generally detached from the Doki drama, so JP-TOs are less likely to care. Sucks, but that’s the reality of the situation.
