WGC (World Game Cup) player list

You will BOW to me!
They need to change this or the only ppl who are going to attend are the MK community in France. I, for certain, will not spend money just to go to a 32 people tournament.

I was thinking the same thing ... Somewhere central in Europe, so thats it pretty easy for everyone from around to attend.
If you take it seriously, it won't be that hard to find sponsors and all the rest ...

yeah i cant blame anyone for not going due to this dissapointment, i still am as i play street fighter too, but im so dissapointed in this, after all the effort we went through to make mk win that poll, shoving the link donw everyones throats getting them to vote.

thanks guys for pulling through for that anyway, if we held our own tournament somewhere (which will ikely become a possibility in the near future) this shit will NOT happen.

Bad move, very bad move.

32 Players and only grand finals streamed? GTFO

Not gonna put all the effort into attending if they couldnt give a shit about us. Could easily spend that money on other fun shit.
We had to work our asses off to vote MK be a part of the tournament and you're surprised they don't give a shit?

My advice to you guys is do your best to get a confirmed player list and e-mail that to the tournament organizers. Appeal to their sense of commerce. They might soften up once they see the potential euros coming in. Even in politics, money talks, bullshit walks.

And remember guys, MK is HATED in France so we are fighting an up-hill battle. It could very well be that they know bloody well how many players we have coming and are limiting it to squash the hype train for MK in France.They might have even limited the playing field to purposely annoy us and make us not want to come so they can turn around and say that there is no support for MK here. But I do allow for the possiblity that since I'm Canadian, I have to knowledge of the hows and whys Euro Tournaments are run.

you have a good point, me and ketchup are still going so if they dont up the count, and we get more people confirmed here, we're gonna take it to them and say.

''here you are you pricks,this is how many people you let down.''

No kidding. This is my first exposure to Euro tourneys but if they are all run like this, it's no wonder they gotta reset losers brackets for lack of entrants....

What is frustrating me the most is that they announced that player cap BS (yeah ll say it again and again and again) when MK got voted. But it is what you said Justice. "Money talks, bullshit walks".

I have a sneaking suspicion that was already planned regardless of what game won the poll simply because none of the games on that list were expected to be a huge draw. It just might not have been necessary to announce it for say Garou that might have the respect in that scene, but 12 players that might show up.

I say, keep the faith. You never know what a well-worded petition and angry MK fans can pull off ;) Worst-case scenario, we could still have everyone show up in Cannes and run our own tourney in competition with theirs......

Well we should have expected this , i did know about WCG being ass to some FGC ( as i said our Tekken community didn't like WCG much ) and they won't give more time for MK 99% sure , after all it's a corporate run tournament.

If the player cap remains 32 i'll probably won't go , what about organizing a tournament in february somewhere else? Netherlands where are you at? :3

making it the same month as wgc is a bad idea, theres no way we'd get sponsors the same month as an event that big, i think location is more important right now

Good point but i doubt MK can get big sponsors WCG or not so i would say a tournament may be held either in March or January, as far as location goes i really don't mind but possibly somewhere cheap ;)

ok i recieved a reply, it seems that its not a 32 player limit, but rather a template for now, apparently the more people register, the more stream time and player limit will increase.

Registering for mk will be opened up at the end of the week, register as soon as you can to show them that they should up the count, is singles fill up they will also do a 3v3 team tournament.

When MK becomes available for registration make sure you all register as soon as you can!

Thank goodness (Mustard) it's been increased!
