Damn, Big D just got put in Losers. I must cheer harder.

Been watching this all day.

Incredible tournament!

I'm hoping Pig wins it all. Big D's Nightwolf is nasty though!

Maxters Cyrax.. Jeez! Shoutouts to Pig, that match was hype!!!

Good shit by Death and REO! Even though I love REO, I was actually rooting for Death in that match. I feel like I play my Kabal really similar to REO.

Back 2 into throw for Smoke? I'm stealing that.

To be honest, after that mirror I really want to pick up smoke lol. You wanna play sometime on XBL?

Oh hell yeah.

Otter of Death, my friend.

Pig just shut down Maxter in Winner's Finals.

Try "resetting" that shit, Maxter.

Gratz to Pig for making it to Grand Finals!

CURRENT GRAND FINALS!

PIG OF THE HUT VS. vVv REO

I wanted Pig to win, but that was a textbook example of bad counter-picking.

Yeah he just couldn't figure out how to get around REO. Grats to him though...was nice to see him finally take down CD Jr. This was one of (if not the best) MK9 tourney I've ever seen.

GRATS TO REO!!! YOU DESERVED A WIN AFTER SO LONG. So proud to be a part of the KABALLIN community lol. Good shit, man.

I too am glad this didn't turn into a CDjr/Reo grand finals. I'm so burnt out on watching Jax and Kabal.

As for Pig, he tried to build a strategy around random rolls and overhead EX-roll, and that shit only works for so long. He should have just stuck to string pressure. It wasn't the character that was failing, it was him. There was no need to counterpick.

There was no damage potential in his Cyber-Sub strategy. When it worked, it didn't take him nearly far enough. The only character he played right was Kenshi, but Kenshi just isn't the multi-dimensional zoner that Kabal is, so when Kabal got it, Pig didn't have an adequate answer (other than armored sword, but you can't build a game plan around EX-armor).

He should. Have stuck. With Mileena.

i do not understand how ive become so good at missing these things. Does anybody have a link to this footage? assuming its been put up yet.

He honestly should have stuck with Mileena. He was jumping too much, and as everyone knows, REO can punish it like no other. 2 ndc 2 ndc 2ndc 2 f4 to a full punish. Look at that. He made common teleport mistakes, wasn't even attempting to zone, I barely saw him do any iafs but he did better then her then Cyber-Sub. He should have stuck with Mileena the entire way, going to Cyber-Sub was the stupidest move he did. He should have done one match with Kenshi, then gone back to Mileena. Grats to him making GF though, I hope he can learn from his mistakes and make top 8 at Flawless victory or something.

Mil's string pressure isn't that hot though especially against someone that can use Kabal the way REO can. Either way...Cyber Subz was not a good idea.

Final Round Top 8 Results:

1st – vVv REO (Kabal)
2nd -- Pig of the Hut (Kenshi, Mileena, Cyber Sub-Zero)
3rd – VSM Maxter (Cyrax, Stryker, Cage)
4th – CD Jr (Jax, Sonya)
5th – Big D (Nightwolf, Ermac)
5th – KN Detroit Ballin (Shang Tsung, Smoke)
7th – Death (Mileena)
7th – VSM Crazy Dominican (Kitana, Nightwolf)

Have to say, this is one of the hypest MK events everr

It really was. You'd think with that considered that this site would have some more activity. Instead of fireworks though, we have crickets. I really wonder what MKO is about these days.

Exactly. I was debating on leaving, but decided to stay to help out final round. I really want to help MKO gain publicity. I really do.
