Hey Russel, my comp crashed last nite, but luckily I was able to get the paypal payment in for the pre reg. but I wasnt able to sign up for MK9 and IGAU specifically though...
 

Justice

Just throwing this out there, I already have a room booked at the venue but noone to share with so I have 3 spots open in my room. It'll run about $45 per person if I can get all 4 slots filled. I need people to hold up their end of the bargain here tho. I also only have it for Saturday so if you want to have Friday night as well, let me know ASAP so I can change my reservation.

My big concern is getting stuck footing the bill. Please be responsible and pay your way is all I ask. I also intend to have a setup in my room for casuals/level-up sessions with a ps3 that has the 4 usb slots in case some mad tag sessions break out ;)
 
MK will be on Saturday. I'm pretty (80%) sure Injustice will be on Saturday as well but after MK Top 8 has been decided.

I haven't gone through them all yet. I will do them early Apr. If I need anything, I'll send you an email.

Jer: if you guys are coming, get your housing secured. If no one, might be best to go in with Justice for hotel room. That discount ends on Apr. 1st that's why.

Hey DanCock, MK will be first on Saturday until it reaches Top 8. After that, Injustice will be played until it reaches Top 8. This is a Major so we continue Top 8 on Sunday afternoon. It's a two day event.

There are lots of Hostels in Toronto that can save you money. It's just probably 10 mins drive away.
If you google map PrimRose Hotel Toronto and then click "Search Nearby", type "Hotels" and you will see cheaper hotels around the area.

Hope that helps.

Will pools/brackets be released early since there is no on-site registration? That would be awesome...

So a couple of questions:

1) I see that Injustice is listed as a side tournament, rather than an official tournament. Does this mean that it's not an official major for the game?

2) Given that it's only a side tournament, what's the plan for streaming Injustice, and which of the streams will it be on?
