The tradition of having a superfluous exhibition between the two powerhouses when a new title drops has broken.
DNF had one, Strive had one...
I need some salty ping excuses before EVO bro!

I'm always down to watch JPN dominate the 10v10s
Gimme your dream teams
I mean stuff doesn't just happen, someone has to organize it. Also you'd have to find 20 people willing to play for $0 in the influencer/esports era. More likely to find that in the anime community.
Imagine just playing to support something you love. These dudes don't even have to leave their room for something like this and it's only a couple hours of their time that would've more than likely been spent doing fuck all anyway.
Idk man, you gotta see it from their pov. No one likes to work for free.
I'm sure you wouldn't be happy if your boss asked you for just a couple of extra hours with no pay.
I get "supporting what you love" but I also get just not wanting to waste your free time.
I think the powerhouses are probably UAE and DR for crack powers and general cohesiveness of the community (so everyone cracked in the US but few did it as a community with the goal that someone in their individual community would win like Valle leading WNF or whatever); that will probably fade by Capcup but shouldn't have faded much by EVO; doesn't mean Japan, US, or France can't win EVO though also team kills will be a thing.
Last time it was supposed to happen at evo but Punk “don’t do shit for free” and ruined it for everyone else involved
