The All Seeing Eye of the NRS Community were discussing a potential NRS Cup and what the bracket would look like. The qualifiers were inspired by the Capcom Cup system. We used 2014 results with 10 automatic qualifiers. They were KIT, Winter Brawl, Socal Regionals, Final Round, UFGT, MLG, CEO, Evolution, TFC, NEC. We tried to include the biggest majors with all regions represented. If someone won who had already qualified the highest placer after gets the spot.

KIT: Forever King
WB: KDZ
SCR: Theo
Final Round: Sonic Fox
UFGT: White
MLG: 16 Bit
CEO: Deg
EVO: Pig
TFC: Jupiter
NEC: Gross


The final 6 spots are points based. We used a complex algorithm based on top placings and Pig's online score reporting.

DJT
PPJ
Noobe
Carl
Honeybee
Saltface

Then we used SRK rankings to seed these 16 players. Here is the complete bracket.

I really think you guys should've try to do this, not only will bring more hype, but it will help NRS games to remain as competitive as much as possible, and the best part, it will extend the lifespan of NRS games.

I was thinking about sharing this, and skype illuminate came up with a great idea, of all Majors that NRS has, there should be 16 important ones, where the top the top 12 should score a certain number of NRS points. By the end of the year, the top 16 with the most of NRS points should compete on the NRS cup. Just make sure to not add Ipad Djs and Nickelwacks for commercials, also STORMS, Tom Brady, Bit and Pig of the Hut for commentaries.

Man, i would love to do that.

I hope something like this happens one day. My predictions for this:

Round 1:

Sonic Fox beats Deg
. Deg just gets outclassed here.
Perfect Legend beats Whiteboi. PL goes into EVO mode for this event, and he knows Doomsday really well.
Noobe beats KDZ. The outcome of this match depends how much money is on the line. Because it's probably less than Capcom cup or Leaque of Legends worlds, KDZ loses this.
Jupiter beats Honeybee. Jupiter doesn't lose to Flash anymore. Damn you Zyphox!
Theo beats Saltface. If Theo is on his A game, there is no way Saltface's Harley (or Doomie) can beat his Aquaman.
PPJ beats Pig of the Hut. A Major upset! Both of these players prepare for the tournament really well, but Pig really underestimates PPJ and focuses too much of his training to beat favorites like Sonic Fox, Jupiter and Theo.
Forever King beats Gross. King counterpicks Gross here, everyone knows that King is the best player for like 10 to 15 characters in this game. Gross just can't adapt.
DJT beats 16 bit. This is a close one, but DJT's arsenal of top tier characters and clutch play sends Bit to losers.

Winners:

Sonic Fox beats Perfect Legend. PL just can't beat Sonic Fox in this game anymore.
Jupiter beats Noobe. Really close match, Jupiter comes out on top.
PPJ beats Theo. PPJ feels really good about his win over Pig and it makes him play really good rest of the tournament. He pulls out another crazy upset here.
Forever King beats DJT. You see a lot of characters picked in this match, but King proves once again that he is the best Sinestro/Zod/WoWo/Lex ect.

Sonic Fox beats Jupiter. Super close match between these two, Sonic Fox comes out on top yet again.
PPJ beats Forever King. King goes for really weird picks here at first and goes down because of it.

PPJ beats Sonic Fox. In winners finals PPJ does the impossible and puts Sonic Fox in losers! PPJ plays out of his mind and pulls out some real weird gimmick/swag stuff to beat the EVO champ.


Losers:

Whiteboi eliminates Deg. Very solid play and Doomsday stuff beats Zatanna/Deg's Aguaman.
KDZ eliminates Honeybee. KDZ still remembers how to beat Flash and beats Honeybee. Upset? Damn you Zyphox!
Saltface eliminates Pig of the Hut. Salt tries really hard to beat Pig and manages to actually do it here, Saltface pops off HARD.
Gross eliminates 16 bit. Big upset. Gross makes 16 Bit really emo but happy at the the same time about Green Lantern. Not a bill guys!

Whiteboi eliminates DJT. DJT goes through character select screen couple times in his mind but he just can't find an answer to Whiteboi's Doomsday.
Theo eliminates KDZ. Theo beats KDZ, and KDZ goes back to Leaque/street fighter/any game with huge pot bonuses. Life goes on.
Saltface eliminates Noobe. To everyone's surprise, Saltface outdoomsdays one of the best Doomsday players.
Perfect Legend eliminates Gross. A Really confident PL eliminates Gross decisively. Money match will be played after the tournament of course.

Theo eliminates Whiteboi. Both play really well, but Theo pulls the win here.
Saltface eliminates Perfect Legend. Saltface uses Harley and beats PL in a close match, PL says oh well, goes home and streams some MK9.

Jupiter eliminates Theo. Great match, this time Jupiter beats Theo.
Forever King eliminates Saltface. Saltface's great run comes to an end, no matter how hard he tries he just can't beat the best Harley in the world.

Jupiter eliminates Forever King. It's a Martian mirror, a lot of crazy stuff happens but Jupiter manages to beat King.

Jupiter eliminates Sonic Fox
. Jupiter finally beats Sonic Fox and eliminates him!


Grand finals:
Jupiter beats PPJ. Jupiter resets the bracked with some clean Martian play.
PPJ eliminates Jupiter: In the second set PPJ switches his character. He pulls out some stuff Jupiter has never seen before and barely manages to win!

Results:
1st: PPJ
2nd: Jupiter
3rd: Sonic Fox
4th: Forever King
5th: Saltface
5th: Theo
7th: Perfect Legend
7th: Whiteboi
