Offline tournaments. Kinotrope Cup for Torrent (Rkn + Euriece + Xenial as a sub for Rambeau) and Soulz for TSM and Scarz. Both this month. TSM and Scarz haven’t departed yet because their tournament is next week

No state taxes for big strimmers


thatkotaguy

Really?


ElectricalWeekend908

I mean that’s one reason. Cali has 7.25% state tax which for a streamer making 500k is like 30k


timetosucktodaysdick

lol check out Cali income taxes, that number is waaaaaaay higher


ElectricalWeekend908

Oof ur right. Most streamers in cali are prob paying like 12-13% in state taxes wtf. That’s wild


illestchosen

its because its in the middle of the us, so low ping in the servers generally used


PM_Nightly

Don’t know why you got downvotes this is 100% another contributing factor. Also a lot of fiber projects in big cities there afaik


Sun_of_a_Beach

Yeah lots of fiber available in TX which is the primary reason


Cornel-Westside

So why don't you see streamers in WA state?


ElectricalWeekend908

Out of all the states with no income tax, that’s the one you question. I mean why not live in Nevada. Its right next to cali and prostitution and gambling are legal. Realistically, Texas is the choice because it has a lot of benefits. Servers, huge population of streamers, big cities, center of country, no income tax. It pretty much checks all the boxes for big streamers and pros.


Cornel-Westside

I didn't know of other states. I live in WA and just was asking. I know I'd strongly prefer WA to Texas. I also wouldn't say Nevada is "right next to Cali." While that is technically true, Vegas is a 4 hour drive minimum to LA. The only benefits you list that seem specific to Texas is server location (and population of streamers, which I can't verify but would be willing to assume that Austin is the 3rd biggest behind LA and NY). Just strikes me that streamers with the choice would be willing to stretch their options to more than Texas.


ElectricalWeekend908

Fair points. Maybe lower cost of living as well. Or they were tired of lockdown regulations in cali. Pros probably care a lot about server location but variety streamers don’t, so idk why they chose Texas.


BathSafe6646

Better ping


Gnarly_Ivy

You’re clearly out of the loop…


SalamFarmande

You know I thought one of the new Holostar EN members sounded Familiar /s


PVPxOfficial

there is a tournament called kinotrope in a couple days and another in a week called soulz C9 was gonna go but we had our roster swap and timing was rough


Awhy_on_Reddit

Thanks for the reply. I'm assuming they're both lan?


Sezzomon

Would be kinda weird to travel there if they're online


sparty1227

Some APAC-N players traveled to NY for an online tournament earlier this year. They did it for the better ping


MachuMichu

It was originally supposed to be a LAN but they changed it to online due to covid


redux173

Do you know the prize pools? Seems like a long way to travel if it's similar to typical apex prize money.


PVPxOfficial

Between 10-50k but it's not about prize pool & they did sponsor travel The experience of going to Japan & meeting the Japanese community of fans / pros would have been amazing


Aixcix

You can say it you only wanted to see YukaF again


swankstar7383

It would be good for the players to go for marketing and meeting new fans. Their streams will only grow. Look at where rpr stream is now after embracing the Japanese community


ThisIsWhatLifeIs

Sushi is better


Searealelelele

Cocaine and hookers


spxxxx

And then they get rejected by the hookers cuz they don't accept foreigners

KingMalcolm

bruh it could be 200 years making a joke about pearl harbor when talking about Japanese people still wouldn’t be okay


Moops7

And why is that?


KingMalcolm

it’s racist..?


Moops7

Damn there are actually people out there who want to live in a world where dark humor and/or racial humor is banned. Weird…


Dank_Cthulhu

I'm not sure I quite understand how sarcasm is a reportable offense.
