@Fruity Treeze,

It is entirely possible to write character conflicts into a well-written event.

That said, the reason Equestria Games attracted so much criticism was that it was heavily implied that the games would be an extended event arc with multiple episodes set at the games, telling many stories (some of which will be involved in the events themselves.

With this episode, my complaint was that the character conflict was too arbitrary and contrived.
