Evo2013 Side Tournament - $1000 pot bonus LET'S GO!

Mike_Z · February 5

Good job everyone!
In case you didn't see the frontpage post, Evo is being super nice to Skullgirls!
- $1000 pot bonus provided by Evo (possibly other goodies from other sources...)
- Top 8 streamed
- Reserved spots in the BYOC room for the side tourney

Since this is a side tourney and I'm running it, HOW ABOUT SOME SEEDING POINTS?
Since SG is now included in UFGT and CEO, which are Road to Evo tournaments, might as well give points to the top finishers in those. (If we can get something going at NCR I could also count that, and I guess SCR too then?)

I'll add more info as it comes, but I wanted to have the thread up ASAP.

In relation to the tournaments in this thread...

Could we maybe somehow organize a "Road to Skullgirls" kinda thing? Like have certain tournament top "insert number" finishes get a certain seeding spot in the EVO bracket? To ensure as close to optimal seeding?

I may not be able to get to UFGT or CEO, but I'm still going to train extra hard now for Evo. I'm finally getting the chance, I'm not letting it slip through my fingers!!!!

*Cue 5 month training montage*

I was already planning on going, but this really seals the deal. Only reason I haven't booked yet is because I want to wait for scheduling info (so as to know how many vacation days I'll need).

Now just to level up enough that the big day won't be a total embarrassment...

guitalex2007 · February 5

The most emphatic "FUCK YEAH!" you can imagine does not begin to describe how I'm feeling.

Skullgirls in EVO. We in there.

Sign up and play anyway. We need numbers most of all. So what if you go 0-2? The point is that you were a part of it!

Blandaid · February 5

How bout seed points for consistent skullbats champs? Whomever has the best win/loss ratio for the spring season could get seeded

Does the fact that we had 100 people last year help?

About seeding points for Skullbats champs, it depends on whether that's WingZero or not cuz he already has one from ~~SCR~~ UCI.

Because some people will whine and moan about the aspects of a online fighting, but it's your call. I'm cool with it either way cuz were totally going to F!@#$$ EVO! XD

It's only a seeding point, it's not giving them byes till top 4 or anything...

You won the tourney at UCI though. I think that's what Mike is referring to?

RemiKz · February 5

Is this the thing you were hinting to when you told everyone they will want to practice at the end of the last skullbats?

SpaceOutNightmare · February 5

AerodynOmyx · February 5

Saw this coming a mile away.

not so saint · February 5

Dr. Sub-Zero and Robo-Fortune as commentators LEEEEEHGOOOOOOOOOO!!!

On the more serious note I'd like to see Mike on the mic since he's actually knows what's going on and will be able to explain it to everybody. He probably will be too busy though...

guitalex2007 · February 5

I would be at the mic but I might be busy playing :p

Let the trash talk begin.
