Right, motivation matters. And just to put things into perspective, as to why you don't get new people "making" it in this game.

To walk away with a profit when competing in a major tournament in this game, EVO France in this case, you have to place Top 6. That's means you're right up there with Atif, Arslan, Knee, Mulgold, etc, so good fucking luck.

What's even more fucked up is making Top 8 doesn't even cover travel, hotel and registration fees. Sure, depending on your proximity to the venue it could be cheaper, we're just using an average example here of going from EU to EU.

So with that in mind, who on earth would even consider competing in this game? Unless you're already sponsored (Few are) why even bother. It's so incredibly unprofitable for 99.whatever% of people. It's better to do literally anything else for money and just play Tekken casually.
