As I have stated in the past, I have been getting a lot of traffic and correspondences/requests from other LAN’s, groups, and the general public. Generally it’s been a good thing, making ties with other groups, building a community, things like that. But lately it’s been from the wannabe MLG ‘Pros’ with no MLG experience at all looking to get sponsorship or tournament wins from my site. I realize many of them are young and want to get noticed and succeed and it’s nice to have a dream and work toward it, but the increasing amount of ‘teams’ looking for sponsorship and/or tournament wins - which I’ve had no tournaments since the beginning months of the LAN - is just getting absurd. I’d love to have a tournament for all those asking but considering their… lack of age, time, and most likely transportation - many would have their parents drive them - I can’t really expect much. As for sponsorship, I don’t bring in lots of money doing the LAN; it’s a hobby basically and personally I’m not swimming in money either. I appreciate the interest and all it’s just become way too extreme.
