Damn since this is the supposed last one, I seriously have to try & make it, even if it means Greyhounding back home.
Who said this is the last one? If successful, we might have more.
Also, while I seriously respect your hunger for the game, don't go too out of your way trying to make this if you can't. There'll always be a next time
This is completely untrue. No offense.
BBG is it's own beast. It's more important than every tournament except the rare shot MBAA got at Evo2010. Even more than NEC. I've never had more fun at a tournament than I do at BBG's. It's outside, and it's MB only. I won't bring up it's history as the birth of the melty community because I wasn't there to see it, but anyone can say it's a vital part of this community's history and if you're an active player that hasn't gone, and you can go, you should go.
BBG's are few and far between because of the extreme hassle it takes to set them up, but you get people like Xie who flew in from California almost two years back just to goto BBG and I doubt he regretted it.
BBG is
not just another tournament. Plain and simple.
