The pre Evo grind session at London's Heart of Gaming: Bring spare fingers and thumbs!

[JTB123]

As most of the UK tournament players know by now there are quite a lot of us confirmed for Evo this year for MKX and if all our potentials end up going as well we could end up with around 10 UK players going to compete on the biggest stage for MKX.

This is where everyone else comes in because unfortunately not everyone can go but we can all help each other level up before the big event so here's what I'm thinking: Either the weekend before Evo or previous we get as many of us together as we can for a solid 3 day session at the HoG to get as prepared as we possibly can for the tournament. Which is why I'm posting this now so everyone can hopefully fit this into their schedule.

Anyone who has gone to an offline session will appreciate the amount one can level up in just one day of solid offline competition and I'm hoping we can get a solid representation of all the characters so we can be as prepared as possible.

Votes are clear that the 10-12th is the winner. Below is a current list of confirmed and maybes.

Confirmed:

JTB
TheGabStandard
Strykie
Phos
12 Gauge
Justin
Shufflez
Smashofdoom
Temjin

Maybes:

I actually think we'll be back in the UK during that time.

Count us in!

 

[PunkMafia83]

Even though I am only playing for fun, I will try and make myself available.

 

[STRYKIE]

Sure man, I'll do my best to provide experience and knowledge if anyone needs it. Besides, I think we could all do with trying out a one-off long weekend session anyway.

Either weekend is fine with me.

I guarantee this guy is fat and stupid - as with all American stereotypes.

 

[JTB123]

[BenGmanUk]

Nice to see our American cousins still think we talk like we're in the cast of Mary Poppins.

 

[Youphemism]

I don't know, I got lucky last time having the time and money to go but I don't get any money over the summer so I'm kind of tight for cash as is...I'll see what happens :/

 

[PND i2 Gaug3]

10-12 mine and omegas flight is booked for the 13th

 

[JustinXavier21]

I'm in London on the Saturday weekend for Dave Chappelle anyway...let's fkin go

 

[TheGabStandard]

Looking at the results I'm guessing 10-12th is gonna be the weekend set

 

[TheGabStandard]

Sorry, where is this exactly

Likely Heart Of Gaming in North Acton, London.

 

[JTB123]

Just want to double check with everyone, so far nobody has voted for the weekend prior to the 11th however it appears there is a FIFA tournament happening on the Saturday and I would expect it to have quite a large turn out. This wasn't an issue when the entire Injustice UK scene could fit into a shoebox but could very well be an issue for MKX. Thinking of it this way, 8 people would mean taking up the majority of the setups at the arcade.

@PND_Ketchup
@PND i2 Gaug3
@Klesk_1
@Phosferrax
@Undeadjim
@ENDeverMORE
@JustinXavier21

Of course we could set up signs at the North Acton tube station that says "Heart of Gaming Fifa tournament cancelled because MKX bitches" but that might prove slightly problematic

 

[Phosferrax]

Shit :/ for me it's that weekend or nothing though.

 

[Phosferrax]

Might get some cheeky fifa games in though...

 

[Klesk_1]

Annoyingly it's the only w/e i can do out of the two

 

[TheGabStandard]

10th - 12th is fine with me.

Highly doubt I'll be at evo but either date is fine for me to make it out and give you guys some Kotal xp, mostly tho it would just be a good chance to meet most of the UK mk scene so count me in.

Nice, Kotal is definitely a character people need to know. Be cool to meet you man
