I even forgot to take that into consideration. MK is probably only one day, so you only need a room for a couple of days.

People, this is not as expensive as you might think!

Very annoyed they limited it to 32 players, and only top 2 is being stream, wtf? :/

 

[smokey]

Maybe if enough people sign up they will make the bracket bigger. 32 is not going to be enough when about 20 players just from this thread are going...

 

[BenGmanUk]

Is there a link to register for MK or am I missing it? I can only see the non voted for games such as SF, BB, MVC3 etc.

 

[smokey]

The links on the right on the menu, but i dont think registrations are open yet for MK so will keep checking and update asap!

What's this all about? Does this mean we essentially play two tournaments, basing the seed of the second tournament on the results from the first?

What kind of French bullshit is this!

All seems a bit french to me mate, sorry i cant be of more help

I think it means in top 8 everyone is put in winners again. I've noticed something with european tournaments, they all seem to have at least one of the following;

1. Barely any players
2. Single elimination
3. Bracket reset for top 8

All I want is a perfect tourney. ;o;

At least it is double elimination really thats all that matters. If you are going to win, then you should be able to beat everyone there when it comes to it, not rely on the brackets to carry you to glory!

Yeah but I think its silly that you could end up playing the same guy 3 times in one tournament. Idk it just seems dumb to me.

 

[Sasuga]

They probably assume the number of players < the number of votes. Oh well, more play = ok.

There were like 90 votes and still they run a 32 player bracket? MAKES SENSE TO ME

90? I thought there were a lot less! Then they might have assumed everyone voted 3 times.

 

[BenGmanUk]

I can't see any more than 40 making the effort tbh.

Its the only major that the EU has had where everyone will be attending, i would be pissed if they fuck it up.

 

[Djack]

Only 32 players?
Im not going if thats the case ... Seems like a waste of money then.
Hopefully they will allow more players

 

[Sasuga]

The whole idea of a playersmaximum is pretty dumb. Should we decide beforehand who goes and who does not?! Tell nr.33 thanks for the cash and have a nice stay at the hotel!

 

[PND_Mustard]

woah 32 player limit? what the fucking shit?

 

[Metzos]

Yeah just saw it too... Perhaps we need to start rage-posting to make them change their minds. This is BS. Who would go to a 32 ppl tourney all the way to France ? I can probably gather more ppl here in Greece than that.

 

[A F0xy Grampa]

Bad move, very bad move.

32 Players and only grand finals streamed? GTFO

Not gonna put all the effort into attending if they couldnt give a shit about us. Could easily spend that money on other fun shit.

 

[PND_Mustard]

Just emailed their direct contact email, they NEED to change this, imagine if any other game in that poll won, they too would be pissed at this news, it's unacceptable.

 

[PND OmegaK]

Sometimes I think we should just start our own tournaments exclusively for mk. At least then we wouldn't be handed shit on a plate.
