A series of Momochi Tweets about the 2018 Japan Premiere
At this year’s Japan Premiere 2018 Momochi tweeted a bunch of interesting tweets. I’ve collected and translated them here. English after the embedded tweets. 今回のジャパンプレミアはちょっとバタバタした部分もあるだろうけど個人的には昔懐かしい感じで良かったです。最近の大会(海外含む)は賞金が上がったり規模が大きくなっててそれ自体は良い事だとは思うけど選手や観客の熱量をどこか感じづらくはなってる気がしてた。 — Echo Fox |ももち (@momochi212) September 22, 2018 凄いスピードで業界が成長してる故にちょっとそれに置いてけぼりを感じてる人はいるんじゃないかなと。今回で言うとめちゃくちゃ広い会場というわけではないんだけどそれが良くて、ゲームと人、選手と観客の距離感が良い距離感なんですよね。 — Echo Fox |ももち (@momochi212) September 22, 2018 広い会場で超大型スクリーンでゆったり椅子に座ってっていうのももちろん素敵なんだけど、ギチギチの人混みで人並み掻き分けて自分の見たい試合見たりどこか不自由なんだけどそれが良かったり。選手目線でいうと配信外の試合でも後ろで見てくれる人や応援してくれる人がいるとやっぱり嬉しいよ。 — Echo Fox |ももち (@momochi212) September 22, 2018 参加者、観戦者の方も凄い良くて良い試合をした時はしっかり声を上げたり賞賛してたり、ファンの方々も積極的に好きなプレイヤーにサインや写真を求めてたり、よく例えで海外の大会は〜観客の盛り上がりが凄いんですよ！とか言うけど(ごめんなさい自分もたまに言うw)日本も負けてないなと今回感じた。 — Echo Fox […]
