Just some bees, please.
Ah sweet NeoRussel in winners bracket! My favourite Jade player that I've seen, won't blame him if he mainly goes with Kitty in these finals but still, much respect to the guy. Enjoy watching him play.

Pretty crazy that Justin Wong is through purely on fundementals. Just caught the last match before the stream ended tonight and he really doesn't know how to capitalise his combos with Raiden, plus he sure does like to jump a lot, but he still manages the win just with good footsies and pokes. I'm not a huge fan, but gotta give him credit where credit is due.

So what happened with TakeAChance? It seemed like he was pretty hyped about going to this, is there any footage of him playing before he got knocked out?

Fixed. Pretty lame tourny, AE is saving it.

I like to see NeoRussell getting up in the brackets and i'm glad to see RM_Smoke up there in the top 8. Also props to consistent players like REO and Maxter, I feel like the community starts to expect them to get in the top seating and overall praise for these players goes down, which I consider a shame, props to them.

Nice and varied top 8.

How many entrants were there? I heard SFxT 2v2 only got 11 teams (22 players), but AE had 120 and MVC3 had 160. Where'd MK come in?
