I don't think collegiate esports facilities should be open 24/7

The fundamental disconnect in Competitive Fighting Games is the gap between competitors and performers. The Twitch era convinced a generation that spectators grant relevance and fund the legacy. This is a delusion. Champions take relevance in the bracket. I won my first world title in 2006 at 18 years old. There were no streams or bracket cheerleaders. I achieved 5 world titles in my first 7 years of competitive activity across EVO, WCG, and DOATEC. I outlasted an elite international field while the current personalities were still in the audience. Now we have top players backstage rehearsing choreographed sequences for the main stage then admitting on the timeline they were just "pressing buttons for fun." That is a recital, not a tournament. This scripted entertainment approach is ruining the scene. When you treat rehearsed theater like a religious experience where you are being talked to like a toddler on a morning cartoon show. The public disagreement you see is just clout chasing from an echo chamber. They move the goalposts to protect a culture of mediocrity. They will devalue a high profile invitational full of world champions as "just an exhibition" to devalue the prestige of a win at an event like the Master Showdown, but then reach back 11 years to find an exhibition loss to use as a receipt. They try to frame technical criticism as a "social issue" just to avoid what I am saying. If an event has prestige, you show up to win. I don't care about the show or the performance. I am here for the reality of winning. People making jokes about blue check revenue, asking if I am okay, or telling me to "work on myself" are just avoiding what I am saying. I have a 20 year receipt of dominance. I don't need the pennies from Twitter impressions or the simulation's approval to be relevant. My hardware is the receipt. Stop worshiping choreographed performances and put respect on REAL execution.
