That's really cool of them. Hopefully it works out fine.


Final Round is going to be huge. Hopefully PL goes there.

Good stuff Mojo, I'm actually going to enter this...have you thought about entering it? Not that I have any chance of winning, but just for fun and community support.

I saw this the other day, I just have to drop in my 7 dollar entry fee.What I find interesting is that most of the people registered on PS3 side were all going to FINAL ROUND.

Nah I'm not going to enter but good luck to you man! Let us know how you do.

Yeah, I'm rooting for you, Espio!! :D

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but to sign up do i just post in that tym thread?? I'm interested in signing up. I can't let myself put so much time into this game without ever going to a tourny to see it pay off and/or put it to the test.

That said, i don't know if this thing will actually work. seems like in online gaming skill < connection almost every time. Also, when i play people that are far away from me the game lags like fucking crazy or is unplayable. Not sure if its the region lock coming into play or what the deal is, but I can't see playing someone on the east coast with my west coast connection and having smooth gameplay. it just wouldn't work.

For sure man, thanks :) And there was talk of streaming it...not sure how that's going to work though since it's online



Step 1: Post in the thread with your system and gamertag.

Step 2: Send your 7.00 entry fee to GerchapMKU@yahoo.com and you must do it via PAYPAL(which is a free and secure online transcation service).

Step 3: When you send your payment, make sure you include that it's for the Road to Final Round tournament and your gamertag.

Step 4: The due date is coming up within like a week, make sure you deposit the money a.s.a.p.

Step 5: stay posted on TYM.com for pool and tournament updates by following Mojo's lovely link.

Step 6: Profit???



Also, I'm glad MKO will have at least two representatives participating in this tournament, two different systems= WINNING. Additionally, the money raised from tournament fees is only enough for someone from the U.S. to come, it's usually thousands of dollars for someone from Europe and other places to come here.

Report your results in this thread as well, cheers mate.



Thanks man, I'll try not to get bodied too badly

Give 'em hell Casselman!

I was rooting for him in the chat, unfortunately it appears he couldn't make it tonight...it's too bad he really has a nice Sektor, but things come up.

Yeah I saw you in the chat but I'm too lazy to make a username or I would've told you that he cancelled. Oh well. Kick ass tomorrow bro!

Thanks! I'm going to be bringing out Stryker, so this should be interesting.


Update:

PS3 pool: Tonight at 9PM Eastern Time

Bracket:
http://challonge.com/finalroundpool2ps3


I'm up first, let's get it

Stream link:
http://www.justin.tv/gamerblake90/b/307234714?

Best of luck!

Looks very interesting, I'll definitely try to tune in. Aside from your matches, I'm also looking forward to see Mr. Mileena's Sindel (or Kitana, whoever he chooses). I haven't seen Marvaz play since Devastation, I wonder if he'll go with Sub-Zero.


My prediction: m2dave takes it with Freddy, but I'll be cheering for Espio to cause an upset.

Updates for the advancing participants...these people( in addition to two more opponents per system) will compete again on Sunday! The top 4

Xbox260

1.Pig Of The Hut (Cyber Sub-Zero, Mileena, Kenshi)

2. xmygodx (Sektor and Kano)

3. ???

4. ???

PS3

1. DetroitBallin' (Kabal, Skarlet, Smoke)

2. Reptile_8147 (Reptile)

3. RM_Death (Mileena and Sonya)

4. GamerBlake90 (Sonya and Raiden)

Edit: Top 4 confirmed on PSN, just waiting on top 4 for Xbox360.





Thank you Neph

He hinted at showing off Sindel in the chat room yesterday, not sure if he'll actually do so, but it's very interesting, I cannot wait.

.

I'm rooting for Mr. Mileena and RunwayMafia to be honest.

m2Dave's Freddy scares me so he's certainly a possibility.

I'm fighting shory a.k.a. Liu Kang extrodinaire, I'm mostly just here to learn the match up, support the communtiy with my donation and have some fun, (but more importantly get my 5 minutes of fame trololol)

On a serious note, I'm confident, but realistic about my chances, I expect to lose.

I think the link to the live stream should be just:

http://www.justin.tv/gamerblake90


NOT: http://www.justin.tv/gamerblake90/b/307234714? (This one leads to archived footage!)



Btw, I just realized that the time difference for me is 6, not 3 hours. I'll see if I'll still be up at 3am, if yes then I'll tune in, if no then I'll watch the recorded footage and report back. Sorry, my bad.

Good luck Espio!!! Cant wait to see you win! ;)

12 minutes until execution.....

I'm there, in the chat room, supporting my buddy! Go Espio!


Mr.Mileena is saying he's gonna choke lol.

Hard knocks, dude. I watched until Sindel went all Akuma.

Who won in the end?

I don't feel bad about losing both my matches, J360 and Shoryuken are very solid players, the match up experience was great, I screwed up on CSZ, I still have difficulty reading his mixups, I need to work on that and I realized my other mistake was doubting my main, I still would have lost, but I should have stuck with Stryker through the whole tournament.

Great stuff, my fave matches came from Mr. Mileena's Sindel(Sindel shutting Liu Kang down? Hell yeah, the Queen has arrived.





GamerBlake90 and RM_Death are advancing to top 4 on PS3 to meet up with DetroitBallin and Reptile. I updated the top 4 list for PS3 as well.
