IT'S BACK!!!! Even though they said it wouldn't be.

Canada Cup is BACK
Due to an overwhelming response from all of you in the fighting game community we have decided to resurrect Canada’s biggest fighting game tournament.
This will be the first year since 2010 that The International 5 on 5 will not be a part of Canada Cup. This year we will be focusing purely on singles play. We also have a few exhibitions up our sleeves, but that’s where they have to stay for the time being.

This year’s Canada Cup will be held at The Grey Eagle Resort & Casino in Calgary, AB November 7th – 9th in their brand new event center and hotel.

In lieu of no international 5 on 5, we’re happy to add more games. This year’s Canada Cup will have 7 titles present:

Ultra Street Fighter 4,

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3,

Super Smash Bros. Melee,

Blazblue: Chrono Phantasma,

Under Night in Birth: Exe Late,

King of Fighters XIII

Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Once again, this year’s stream will be offered in both a free pop-in ad supported flavor and the premium $8.95 version. For more information on what this means, CLICK HERE. As always, we will be live on Twitch.tv/CanadaCup.

All the information is on the website. But I will provide some links as they have already provided a Schedule, and Pre-Reg is already live.

Schedual and Stream Info (Subject to change of coarse)

Registration and Accommodation
http://canada-cup.ca/registration-accommodation/

There are flight codes for people flying within Canada that will really help cheapen your flight if you book early enough. Flying from the states is already cheap lol

The skinny on tourny cost being:
10 Bucks per game

Venue Fee:
$30 CDN Early Bird
Registration Prices will increase as follows:
  • Sept. 15th 2014: $40 CDN
  • Oct. 15th 2014: $50 CDN
  • Last Second Registration $60 at the venue.
It obviously pays to pre reg here.

On a personal Potato Note, CCG has always made room for NRS games at there events since MK9 came out, and I think that it's huge they are doing it once more for Injustice at their flag ship even. This is a world class event that world class players travel for in other games. I would love to see a huge turnout from every where for this tourney. It will go a long way to perhaps seeing MKX as a featured game Next Year as well, and show these guys we mean business.

LETS BRING THE FUCKING HYPE!!!!

Please feel free to personally PM me if you have any questions about the City, the tournament or anything about the games being played, I will do my very best to get you all the info you need straight from the CCG guys.

@STB Shujinkydink Having missed last years Canada Cup when it was in your back yard, it's time for you to come back to my back yard. You have been called out, being your birthday weekend and being that you will stay at my house for free,

I CHALLENGE YOU TO FT10 ON STREAM NAO MONEY MATCH!!!!!! to be streamed Saturday night from the Potato Sak or Hotel if I decide to splurge for a premium room - If you fail to meet this challenge by pussying out and not coming, you will forever be a pussy.

Other people who will be pussys if they don't come:

@MashPotatoTower
@SoundsLikePAUSE
@BiPolarExxpress
@MisguidedAngel


People who should come and bring other people and convince them to come

Seattle and vancouver players.

@HoneyBee @Biohazard

I don't know many tags, if you know any other canadians tag em up,

Time for me to go learn how to play Injustice.

CCG produces absolutely awesome events. If it's doable everyone nearby should make it out. We can really turn this into something for MKX, and get a strong IGAU tourney going.

I'd be more than happy to help pick people up from the airport and get them to the venue.

I would want to go but $500 for a flight is not doable :(
Did you check price with the discount code provided by canada cup?

500 for a round trip from Toronto area is actually cheep for a canadian flight which sucks. But if anyone was coming from that far for Injustice, I would be 100% open to housing, so you save on Hotel right off the bat.

I can't find the discount code but wouldn't that be for hotel only?

Specifically for Flights, with either westjet or air canada,

here is the link for the hotel and the flights, http://canada-cup.ca/registration-accommodation/

flight codes and info in the light blue part


Here is what I have planned if people are going to travel for this. To cut down expense, I will open my house to certain people barring references, where you are from and all that. This totally takes away the Hotel Expense,

We would then go get groceries for the weekend so take out food prices don't burn a hole in your wallet.

I will have my wife and kids stay somewhere else for the weekend.


CCG is 100% cool with having MK be a community ran side tourny. And me and Bi-Polar would take care of and run it, it will all depend on numbers for where we would hold it. There is space at the venue.

We would run MK in a 3/5 format just because.


I will clean up and update the OP when I get home from work.
