Blind_Ducky Wins BLTB #4!

This guy can't be stopped!

Major congrats for yet ANOTHER BLTB won by our very own Raven - Blind_Ducky.

A few interesting things were discussed at this BLTB that I'd like to share:

1. NorCal may have the biggest active IGAU community right now. This was a huge pleasant shock for me. I remember when MK9 came out, and after the initial popularity died down, the NorCal scene was on life support until Injustice came out, and even that after a while started to die down a little bit. It seems like BTLB has helped resuscitate some life back into us. There are still those that live here that haven't shown up yet, and when they do, we can have up to 25 people. That makes me really happy.

With that, we want to announce our Memorial Day special BLTB! Since most have this day off, we're going to do everything in our power to get EVERYONE to come up and deliver the most hype BLTB to date!

2. We have a few ideas that we'd like to run by you:

Our main purpose for these is to have fun and also entertain our stream. We have our gimmicks like Charlie Hodge and stuff, but we want to go a step further. What if we had one week where we all put our mains in a hat and decided to draw randomly. We would then be forced to play that character the following week. All of us would have a week to prep, and we would know who's playing who. I think it'd make for a very interesting and hilarious tournament. Is that something you guys would be interesting in seeing? Let us know!

Also, you guys have may noticed that our stream wasn't as consistent as it was the week before or the BLTB before that. We were having a lot of issues with our PC (aka my PC). I promise to have these resolved and for everything to run smoother next time. Thank you guys for your patience.

Alright! On to the results!

Shoutouts:
I have to give a special shoutout to my training partner @Forbidden_Donut . He's an extremely underrated Batman, and this was a huge step towards his future success as things move forward! Super proud of him! Also, he put me into losers Round 1. Something I never mentioned to anyone last night was that I believe that was the first time I've ever lost my first match in a tournament. And I mean in any game. I've been going to tournaments for almost 10 years now, so that's pretty crazy. Again, huge props to Donut :)

Also a huge shoutout to my fellow TO @NRF Everlast for breaking Top 8! I know how hard it is to get over a hurdle, but once it happens, it's so much easier! Awesome stuff man! You looked really good!

Special shoutouts to WannabePlayer for being an amazing Ares player, our matches were insane!

Also Ducky for just being too godlike. He forces me to level up more than anyone else I play.

For obvious reasons, I support Asian Tom :DOGE



In all seriousness however, congrats and kudos to you guys for bringing together an unexpectedly strong scene up there. It's cool to see you guys showcasing your players, and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Edit: Also, ban Ducky and give someone else a chance.

What is going on guys, Ya Boi Zyphox here.
i would respectfully disagree on norcal having the biggest acticve INJ scene, BPK alone has 30+ for monthlies in long island without most of the 15 - 20ish people that go to the break weekly. if the tristate area didn't have to work and didn't mind trying to drive through manhattan the break would have 40- 50 plus INJ players within an hour of each other (traffic and NYC fuck those numbers up badly) every week. in one week i went to the break, NLBC and BPK and every tournament had different faces, and i got top 3 in all of them that week too i believe :) anyway good stuff to norcal i just had to come in here and clarify that northeast is godlike and shove it down everyone's throats like usual.

@The_SNKE <3 thank you for the shoutout. Good shit to you for wrecking your way through losers and into grand finals! Every week I see myself over coming my tournament nerves more and more. I still drop everything and forget all my tech the moment I start playing lol but I'm doing it less.

Good stuff to everyone as usual. Especially Hassam and Scott for their extremely clutch play the whole dam night!

@daddydab32ho we really missed you dude, you better be at the next one!

NorCal scene is strong but not the biggest. GGA, BPK, and The Break are far bigger.
You guys are probably right, but man, it feels so huge to us. After SCR we all came together and created this thing as a big ass group and its become bigger that we imagined, faster than we imagined. Forgive us some statistical discrepancies, we're just hype as fuck.

@The_SNKE , CFB69 also used GL if you wanna update the op.

Yeah man I bet I would kill to have a scene in Indianapolis lol. Glad NorCal has good scene.
