MLG Anaheim: MK9 confirmed with $16,700 Prize Pool

[G4S KT]

I can't wait to sink my teeth into some Cali players. Hope for your sake you guys are ready.

 

[Euphoric]

Just want to say, MLG's decesion for having Arena top 8 is a justified. It's not VSM's fault that majority of them made top 8.

Show up to Anaheim, and get some diversity in the Top 8, than FG Arena 2.0 will look a different, that is, under the assumption that VSM won't dominate Anaheim again.

Why in the world would anyone go to ufgt over mlg? I mean you would literally have to be retarded.

Because that's my hometown tournament? .

I live in Illinois, dumbass.

 

[Enenra]

40 mins away, awwwwwww yeaaaa

You bastard!

Colorado gets no love, indoor sports aren't welcome here apparently.

 

[jamessmk]

Damn who to rival.....?

 

[w1nter warz]

Am I the only one who notices that this is the same weekend as ECT which is an East Coast Major ?
It's a west coast event that is flying every major player from the east coast to the west. Just some food for thought, I still appreciate MLG picking up Mk.

Regardless, I would be willing to go to this if keyboards would be allowed.
Sabin Is there anyway of lifting the rule against keyboards?

I heard Michaelangelo said VSM are bums....


jk

Keyboards ARE allowed. Rob Khonsu was at MLG Columbus and played with one.

Daaaaaaaaamn . ECT's gonna be deserted...an east coast major without VSM?

 

[Juggs]

The arena is a cool idea but hopefully they invite more than the top 8 because that's just another Thursday stream.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Also, same weekend as ECT? I thought they were going to work harder to schedule the events better? Is it that both parties don't want to change their dates for the other?

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

West Coast, this is our chance, we have no excuses.

 

[SwiftTomHanks]

Power Up and Flawless Victory during the same weekend, and now MLG competing with ECT...

It is a little first world problems to complain that there are too many events to go to. But at the same time it would be nice if everyone could start preparing for these events even earlier.

Glad to hear that the west coast gets a taste of MLG! It was so much fun, I hope you guys enjoy it.

 

[RagingNight]

MLG clashing dates with Majors. Did I miss something new?

 

[Marvaz]

HELL YEAH. Ill def be there. MLG conflicted with NCR last weekend. So nothing new.

 

[Blackula]

For those who are wondering, MLG will be in Raleigh, NC at the Raleigh Convention Center for the August one from Aug 24-26.

I plan on going to that one!!! EAST COAST UNITE!!!

 

[Juggs]

MLG clashing dates with Majors. Did I miss something new?

I wonder if there's even any communication. If there is, is one part being stubborn? Or are both? I think this should be addressed honestly. This is one of the main issues the FGC had with our fighters joining a league like MLG.

To be fair, MLGAdam has been on twitter trying to talk with FGC people about when events are so they can minimize conflicts, particularly with the arena.

 

[smokey]

Do MLG hate capcom that much or is MK just that good, who knows

 

[Krayzie]

SoCal we in there! 30 minute drive baby.

5v5: EGP Krayzie, EGP Tyrant, IGL DJT, Michaelangelo, DetroitBalln?

West Coast unified for this one? I think yes... And its about damn time...

Guys, just a heads up, Adam Apicella from MLG was tweeting today about dates of Community run majors so that in the future, MLG can AVOID those dates...

Guys, MLG is doing everything they can to co-exist and work with the community run FG tournaments... Anaheim was just scheduled in advance so it's something we have to deal with, but they are trying to schedule around FGC events for the future.

Thanks Phil. So basically everything was already planned before they knew about the fighters being apart of MLG? And it's too late to change the dates now due to people already have made plans? That's cool, and actually makes sense. Hopefully later on there won't be conflicting schedules.

 

[Tolkeen]

The only reason there is a clash of dates is because we're just being added onto the already scheduled SC2 tournaments. If they choose to keep us on full time, and for every tournament, I'm sure they'll consult with the FGC before scheduling their next tournament since no one really competes with SC2 tournaments lol.

 

[Briyen]

Honestly a top 8 arena is retarded and redundent, if i wanted to see that i'd just watch the replay and there wasnt even much rivalry up there

A regional Areana w/ teams Pokemon style with 3k on the line, now thats an EVENT westco, eastco, midwest, south, alaska

whose with me??
