The weekend was fierce... let's just say that. I went in to the tournament with a lot of objective and plans really changed as the tournament went on - from the hour and a half long power-outage we had to taking the initiative to get out my phone and try streaming some MK for the "MK" community... let's just say that I got some work done as although I didn;t get done exactly what I set out to do... I didn't "stand around"... I really appreciate all of the work all of the staff does, especially Phil's brother Rob who was beyond helpful... put it this way... we would've been up shit creek without a paddle with him. Shock... well, there is no need to even mention what all he did as he has been doing it so long and it's so deep in his heart that it is just natural.
Anyway, I'll start with the shoutouts here by whatever name comes to me first...
GuyInGreen: Probably the guy that made me laugh harder than I have in a while. At first I wasn't sure what to think of him, but he is definitely the kind of guy who is awesome to hang out with. He's very comical, witty, but yet and very polite and mature... and he's got a beefy Jax and he definitely knows what he's talking about when it comes to MK. It was an honor to meet you and chill... fuckin great times. lmao at that, "Bo'Rai Cho? God Damnit!" lmao... (obviously, you had to be there)... I couldn't stand or walk due to how hard I was laughing.
DanCock: Serious, serious, serious.... serious dedication... 6 hr drive? Works extra days and hrs JUST to come out to these tournaments. Awesome Sindel player although he complains about her 2,1, scream but yeah, known you for so long now... this is all just crazy still and I am very happy you came out. You're one of those faces that completes the experiences for me.
Phil: You and your brother... holy crapola... I know for a fact that maybe 15% of the community that does NOT come out to a tournament, knows how much you are involved with it.... I mean, Wow.... you are a true fucking Elder God of this community. Mad props to you also for contacting PDP_Candace about getting us a PDP stick to giveaway at the tournament... without you doing that, there would've been no giveaway.
Dark Rob: You seem to truly level up your game every time you play... it's like watching a "live" tutuorial... like "This is how you play Sub-Zero" and yes, props to Mr. Tom Brady for all of his help and strats and I know his traning is what got you to your level, but damn, did it pay off. A hand shake and a "next time, brotha" *Summer Jam*
BattleBear: for your first tournament, I truly hope it made an ever-lasting impact in your tournament and competitive life... I didn't get a chance to talk to you, but don't think that I didn't appreciate you coming out... seeing you out was awesome and I hope to see you again in the future.
Michaelangelo: Thank you for letting me stay in your room and holy shit, dude... you made me laugh, especially when you almost threw your pants out the window, lmao. It was also pretty cool to see your Dad there cheering you on... he even asked me if I was from a magazine since I was running around taking photos, haha. Also, thank you for the interview.. gonna try to have it up very soon.
Voo: Keeping this short and sweet, you were hilarious, especially when you guys shared the same bed and Mike pointed out that you two were the only two sharing a bed together and you were also the only two in boxers! LMAO Nice to meet you, dude.
16 Bit: It was very nice to meet you, walk to the diner, chill and see that sick Kitana of yours... and also the jokes Mike was throwing at you for how fast you ate your burger.. lmao. Good shit dude.
Ezail (SZ2): What can I say? We'll be seeing each other soon at Xanadu and thanks for coming along to ECT3, bro.
Shock, Arturo, Summoning, LIJoe, SJCage, AC, Tom, REO, Chris G, Crazy Dominican and everyone else...
Bottom line, thank you and I hope you guys all had a great time. We only get to see each other like this every so many months or even years, so thanks for coming out and... until next time.
*sorry, getting lazy with the shoutouts.. just so much typing!*
Lastly, shoutouts to Zaq, McNasty, Konqrr, DarkNatas, Teef, 1557noob16557(?)... for all of you spreading the word of the mobile stream and just being positive about the stream and its quality. I had my phone plugged in to Phil's charger (Thank you, Phil!) and was standing, streaming for 6+ hrs straight what you guys seriously kept me going... all of your "thanks" and "props" shouts... very appreciated and when you guys commented on a match it made me feel good as well because I knew the stream what at least "tolerable".
Again, thank you everyone and expect some video footage as well as pics from the tournament coming soon.
