giant group photo of all the GBVS players at my locals last night. lots of people came to warm up for the big tournament that's today. an unbelievable number of players for this almost 3 years old delay based netcode game!
this is not even all of our players as some couldn't make it or opted not to with the tournament also happening this weekend. very excited to see the full crowd at the event today!!
i'm in this photo but my face is obscured by my hair.
I'm also in this one!! It's been incredible seeing the growth of the local pnw granblue versus community these last several months. It's gone from maybe 4ish people playing the game at the very beginning of the summer to a dozen or so of us when I first hopped in at the beginning of September to now drawing 50+ people for brackets and fielding 6+ casuals setups at locals with lines on all of them. It's so funny looking back to when I was first starting and the local crew starting to float the idea of a dedicated lobby night once a week so that people could get games beyond just at locals, to the current state of things where there's pretty much always an active lobby running from 9 am to 3 am.
