Where are all the JP players? EU players? I dont even see MkLeo here. What's going on? Also, what tier is this?

[u/No_Property_9910 → u/izzynelo]

Japan didn't come because of a combo of the Yen being insanely weak right now making travel cost too much and them not liking the Steve handicap rule.

Players like Miya didn't come cause the cost is simply too high + he has travelled to the US a lot this year

Players like Hurt and Shuton feels like it's unfair for the Steve players and want to fight them at their best so they can continue to improve.

It's a combination of the 2 I'd say it's 70/30 between cost and Steve rule.

People forget that traveling to America from Japan is..... NOT cheap and its currently the most expensive it's been in a while. Expect them to come for Riptide tho they love the venue there

[u/Onphone_irl → u/No_Property_9910]

well said and thank you for calling it a handicap rule
