I’m sure there are some of you reading this who don’t really want to spend the money, or are on the fence to donate. That’s completely understandable. I’m not here to pressure people into donating, nor to make people feel bad about not donating (and how would I know, anyway?). But I want to offer you some perspective, with the hopes that you will become motivated to donate on your own.
$10. If everyone reading this donated $10, we would DESTROY the competition.
How much is $10?
$10 is a meal at a restaurant, a meal you eat ONCE
$10 is about 2 Jamba Juice smoothies, that once you drink, are GONE
People are willing to spend $10 on one-off items, and not this?
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably been playing Melee for at least a year. Or two. A lot of you guys have played for more than five years. Seven years. A TON OF US HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR 10+ YEARS.
This is something to which you’ve literally dedicated THOUSANDS of hours, some of you TENS OF THOUSANDS OF HOURS. As a result of all your dedication, Melee has grown to perhaps the largest it has ever been in the history of the game, DESPITE IT BEING 11+ YEARS OLD. This is the first, and perhaps LAST chance we have to elevate Melee to the kind of world stage that EVO offers, and that Melee deserves:
M2K vs Shiz deserves that. Mango vs Armada deserves that. WOMBO COMBO DESERVES THAT.
It just seems silly for you guys to put SO MUCH time and thought and work into this game, and then skimp out WHEN YOU’RE MOST NEEDED. I don’t know about you, but I could live with missing a meal if that meant Melee could make EVO. Hell, I’m sure many of you guys HAVE skipped meals BECAUSE YOU WERE PLAYING MELEE. Whatever else you would spend that $10 on, you could probably get by without. This is more important.
I can put it another way…
$10 is about what you pay EVERY TIME you go to a local smash tournament--and I bet if there was a tournament TOMORROW in your area, you'd go, wouldn't you? Imagine this:
Tomorrow, $10 in hand, you walk to the venue. The TO’s at the door and says, “Sorry, today's tournament is cancelled.”
Look at the $10 in your hand. That $10 would have gone to Melee ANYWAY. You were willing to pay that much, WITHOUT HESITATION, to play at a 30-person local tournament. That SAME $10 COULD GET US INTO EVO AND POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST MELEE TOURNAMENT OF ALL TIME.
