You guys have to understand. Traveling from a different continent and making top 8 for a shot at $20,000 in prize money will 100% bring out the inner chair throwing maniac in you.

I said it last game and I'll say it again:

Injustice brings the hype.

There's just something about it man.. The comebacks, the super close matches, the post clash showdowns.. The neutral game, and the crazy different character archetypes.. Everybody was downing this game before MKX came out, but it's back, here to stay, and just as exciting as ever.

DMS got hit with the unblockable. I love watching Madzin so much.

Sonic can no longer say it was "free". Got put into losers and barely beat Semiij to make top 8 losers. The level of competition is finally on par with SonicFox.

And holy shit, Slayer has ascended. He's a clear favorite if he plays like he did today.

 

[Badboy Takuma]

Amazing matches so far although almost no char variety besides top 5 chars.
Atro and Black Adam actually hype killer lol

And holy shit, Slayer has ascended. He's a clear favorite if he plays like he did today.

I think this depends highly on matchups. Three things to consider here:

1) Sonic would be likely favored against Slayer if they meet again. The only reason they didn't is that Theo put Sonic into losers.

2) Sonic has also proven to be a whiz at overnight adjustments. There are a number of previous tournaments where he was sent to losers, written off, and figured it out to go on and reset the bracket and win.

3) Theo was extremely close to beating Slayer. Slayer clutched it out for the win. I don't really think you can favor either player after that set, and it could easily go either way in a runback.

With that said, a lot of the guys in Top 8 are playing really well. Either way, tomorrow's another day, at another time, and anything goes.

The one guarantee is that whatever happens will be really exciting and memorable to watch.

DMS made that moment even better man. The flop was LeBron in the finals tier.

First thing I thought of when I saw it was LeBron.

Feel absolutely awful for Bio, I feel like he got screwed over by having to sit through level 3 debuff 4 times over, he manages to avenge that loss only to go out on a last second loss to a final match character switch. I hope he's not discouraged by these heartbreaking losses.

Sonic was reset or sent to losers before grand finals several times in MKX, he won the vast majority of those times any way.

At this point, Sonic is the favorite regardless unless he loses several tournaments in a row. It's like when they used to talk about choosing Tiger or the field back in the day, he didn't need to be flawless or win every last tournament to be the favorite.

Sonic's body of work since the tail end of Injustice is more than enough to do that.

I said Slayer is a favorite if he plays like he did today. Both Theo and Sonic are in the losers bracket, a clear disadvantage considering the level of competition and the players who are in winners. It doesn't matter if it's been done before, they're objectively at a disadvantage. And based in most recent showings, Slayer to me was the most impressive in taking down Theo.

Being a favorite doesn't mean you're going to win, it just means you're favored to. Before the tournament started SonicFox was the favorite to win, Theo was also a favorite. Things change as the tournament develops, which should be pretty obvious based on the display.

There are still 3 more players to be sent to the losers bracket, which means anyone could end up there.

Also, I had Sonic/Theo as 50/50. I wouldn't have favored Sonic to win that (even in the first game).

I still have it 50/50 after today as I'm sure Sonic will take time to figure some things out.

Whoever makes it to grand finals in winners will have the advantage. But having an advantage is just that, it doesn't mean anyones fate is sealed. Theo and Fox being in Losers really helps everyone elses chances honestly, as they only have to lose one set. Obviously it's anyones game, I just was impressed by Slayer the most.

Having an advantage and being the favorite aren't the same thing. Sonic was at a disadvantage every time he's ever won from losers, I still would have had him as the favorite in each of those occasions cause the track record is there.

It's rare, but you do get home dogs (underdogs with home field advantage) occasionally in sports.

You don't have to tell me that. I have a running bet no one will take. SonicFox vs the field, for whatever amount as long as it isn't ridiculous. If anyone other than SonicFox wins, I lose the bet. No one has ever taken me up on my offer, for obvious reasons.

That said, Slayer has made an impression on me. You could tell he's been training his mind out, it shows in his play. I could be wrong, I just see the determination in his eyes. As corny as that sounds.

@Hollywood DMS / @Kitana Prime

After Slayer vs Theo they showed a collage of video that looked to me to be from the uncast matches when the stream was down... dose this mean that it was all recorded to disk and we could possibly see it go up on youtube or something?

Yes, they will be rebroadcast and/or put on Youtube.

 

[Blade4693]

Lol Madzin's pop off was too hilarious. Dare I say one of the best?

Dude must have had soooo much Red Bull pumping through his veins to bitch slap that chair off the stage like that XD

apparently he is a competitive power lifter.. as in he is fucking hardcore strong... . .

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed the selection of matches on the CEO stream. Chris Ceglia has given me the opportunity to hand select matches for the viewers at home after the response to Combo Breaker, and I hope I delivered, and I only hope to improve tomorrow.

The curation has been superb.

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

Soon people will understand that Sonic's DS is not just gimmicks.

I don't think there's anyone on earth who doesn't already understand that? lul

 

[Jynks]

How can I talk up Infinitii and how awesome she was without sounding like a creeper?

Yeah until someone picks Adam or Aquaman.

Seems like the running theme of CEO so far is that if you lose, switch to Black Adam.
