Just seems like something GBATemp would have covered... 
Why wasn't the Nintendo Championship 2017 front-page news???

Thank you for this info. I didn't intend on this question turning into a dumpster fire.

For future reference, you might want to watch how you word your posts if you don't intend something like this to happen again. Your original post comes across as a jab at staff. It also poses the question of why you didn't just format a post nicely for it yourself and probably got it frontpaged through that. Regardless, it's good you got your answer.
Did I ever say I was so great? I also don't care enough to spend 4 hours traveling to 1 specific bestbuy to try and qualify for something I don't want to compete in.
Ive watched both the 2015 and 2017 NWC and its just terrible, except for a few standouts (which happen to actually be comp players, speedrunners and such) while the rest couldn't even grasp basic game concepts.
The problem is the selection of players and the way nintendo selects them, 8 bestbuys (2 of which were in CA.) nationwide is just bad. Then they threw in a bunch of 12 and under kids and they got their asses kicked by older more skilled players, some of which were over 3 times their age. I understand nintendo wanted to include kids too but they should have just had a Jr. div or something.
And some of news articles today don't even care who won but instead they are about the 3 unseen super mario odyssey levels.
I was discussing this yesterday with my friends, and honestly, the NWC has potential to be a huge deal, in terms of eSports competitions. Nintendo already has Play! Pokemon! in charge of the TCG/VGM competitions, which all offer huge prize pools, professional looking venues, and allows entry to many. What Nintendo should theoretically do, is merge this with the NWC, make it into a big promotional event, have good advertising, and just go all out with it. All those fighting game tourneys already have huge sway in video gaming communities, so Pokken/Smash 4/SFII Switch/etc would have a lot of people already with a foot in the door just for that alone. Nintendo games don't have the same pull that other competitive games that are played professionally do, but Nintendo will always have its loyal fanbase to back it. If they actually managed this competently, there's so much potential here for something amazing.
Using the ol' "Hurricane destroyed my entire city" excuse, eh? Kids these days... no responsibility.Well partly because the reporter who specializes in news is a bit more than busy lately.
You heard the man Chary, back to work or we'll have to whip you with controller cords again.

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time.
