I will try my best to attend this for MK.

I have a concern though; the 1 pause warning seems like it leaves a loophole for a person getting comboed to intentionally pause once and get away with it.

I think it should be made clear to everyone in advance that no pausing is allowed, period. Any pause at all would then mean round forfeiture. Thoughts?

Get HYPE people, just one more week! Looks like the Tally crew and the Miami crew will roll through. Should have a decent turnout. This will be a great tune-up for CEO winterfest Jan 21st. I will be getting in touch with Tyger to see about getting a dedicated stream for MK going. I would like to try and stream as much MK as possible.

Post up if you plan on attending!

I agree. I will talk to Tyger about this.

Fuck, why can't anything be in, like Orlando?

Sorry, but I can't make it to this. I just drove almost two hours to St. Pete, I can't take another Saturday off for the 4 hours it would take me to get to Jacksonville.

Because Tyger is a local tournament organizer here in Jacksonville. It's all good bro. Just make it to the ones that you can. Next month CEO Winterfest is in Orlando. Just make it to that one. It's on the 21st.

I don't know many dirty players like this, but it's a reality. But I'm absolutely cool with that. It's pretty much universally known that pausing forfeits the round. Those were copy/paste rules anyway.
