This weekend Naptown Clutch - the largest annual fighting game event in Indiana - took place at the Tilt arcade in Indianapolis. Competitors gathered for a full day of tournament gaming across several titles.
I had the pleasure of running the Mortal Kombat X tournament which featured 45 competitors from regions across the Midwest and the South including St Louis, Detroit, Chicago, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee. Each player was placed into one of four pools - the top of each advanced to the top 8.
After many exciting matches, close games and upsets during pools the top 8 emerged:
Pool A: Dizzy (W), Alucard (L)
Pool B: Khaotic Raptor (W), Footwurk (L)
Pool C: Mod (W), RagingRicans (L)
Pool D: McCutty Mayhem (W), PPJ (L)
After being sent to Loser's the first match of top 8 by Khaotic Raptor, Dizzy was able to battle all the way back through the loser's side to force a Grand Finals rematch. After taking the first set in Grand Finals, Dizzy won in a very close 3-2 set to win it all!
Other highlights:
- Footwork eliminates Alucard in top 8 in the Battle of Detroit
- Dizzy eliminates PPJ in top 8 in the Battle of Chicago
- McCutty Mayhem wins Pool D over PPJ
- Pool C's top 2 seeds, Slips and N1k0lasss each fail to advance. Slips loses to Revernd Popoff (Reptile) and N1k0lasss, while N1k0lasss loses to Mod and RagingRicans
- Mod wins Pool C in convincing fashion

Unfortunately there were internet issues with the stream. The top 8 broadcast (in pieces) can be found on Arturo's channel here: http://www.twitch.tv/nycfurby/profile/past_broadcasts
Youtube videos of the local broadcasts may be uploaded later on teamspooky's channel.
Overall it was a great time and I will definitely be returning to next year's Naptown Clutch. We have a vision for improving the event overall and making it a multiple day event. Until then I hope to see everyone at NEC and KIT in the coming months!
Ninja Edit: by TS @Sabin - Here are the Top 8 matches. Sorry for internet issues! 4g died for me when Top 8 of MKX started. However I was prety speedy with the uploads post tourney so it's all here.
