I think some of us try to recruit from the quick matches occasionally. I raced this girl a few months ago who was very fair and clean. I told her we'd love to have her join, but she hasn't. But that's where I came from when I got sick of all the mayhem in those rooms.
Me personally, I love SNAIL and it will always be the only league I race with. It's the time that keeps me away. I've tried several times over the years to make it work to no avail, my schedule only allows me to race a few months out of the year.
SNAIL is no different than any other sport or business, it has its ebbs and flows and is influenced by many uncontrollable factors including market competition, global dynamics, and participant satisfaction among others. However, just like any sport or business, the best marketing system remains the participants own perception and experience with the product and that's where no other league short of the internationally sponsored leagues (ESL in Pcars) can compete with SNAIL. I'm a business owner, so I kinda pay attention to little nuances that drive and compel individuals to do the things they do, relative to my thoughts on business in general to help guide my decisions and interests. SNAIL, from a business standpoint, has one of the best internal marketing mechanisms in place, you., the drivers and participants. The simple fact of everyone actively discussing how to grow and expand the league is invaluable and over time with a continued, focused effort, will pay dividends in participation numbers.
Remember though, SNAIL is built on the success of a non-owned entity, ie., GT6. So as new games come to market, the uncontrollable consumer is going to wander and explore. Given what they have to work with I think they have done an amazing job, and they do it for FREE......the best you can do is the best you can do!
The scale and depth of what has been created for this league to operate as it does in mind-boggling to me as witnessed from my limited time and exposure "behind the scenes." I can't imagine what this group could do if given the resources to produce a gaming platform of their own. It's this dedication that keeps me connected to and coming back at every opportunity permissible to my real-world obligations.
I'm looking forward to that Friday night bracket racing
