Greyhound says it's about a 15 hour ride; also it will cost a $122.32 (not sure if this is one way or roundtrip though?)

United Airlines says it will cost about $236 for a roundtrip ticket to Los Angeles and back.

Plane > bus? What do you guys think.

Not everyone can ride a plane though(pressure reasons) plus, with terrorists these days...screw that lol. I'd love to take a train though, I know it would take a few days but would be nice.

Anywho, Krayzie will you guys be taking vids of your matches man?

Well it sucks to say but I have to cancel my trip to WCW. I thought I would be able to make the train ride and participate in the tourny, but after this past weekend I can't do it. I was hoping my back would be able to handle it but I now know it can't. I've been bed ridding and in severe pain the last 2 days. Having to be off of my anti-inflammatory meds has finally caught up to me. Sorry guys.

Doesn't $236 seem like a little much?! I don't have that kind of money :(
Click to expand...
If you would have told me in time, we could have raised the money...

Its too late now since the tournament is 2 weeks away. But if you truly wont be able to make it, then you shouldnt be discouraged. Just wait up until TYM announces the next event near you.

I'll look into hosting at another major soon.

Well don't count me out just yet, but yeah, that sounds good.

Is WCW one of the smaller tournaments? Isn't NEC and Winter Brawl up there too? I know EVO is the biggest tournament of the year. But in terms of tier, what level would you put all the major tournaments? From like greatest to least greatest...

West Coast Warzone is a major tournament, a newer one, but a major nonetheless. NEC is also a major and one of the bigger east coast tournaments. Winter Brawl is also now a major tournament.
Basically there are local tournaments, regional locals, and majors. EVO would be also be classed as a major tournament, but its more like the world series of majors.

There is no possible way I could word it any better.

This tournament is the one you want to go to, Victor. Its one of the closest earliest majors you will have, and believe me, its a great experience.

I went to WCW-1, but wasnt able to attend the 2nd one. I was watching it on stream, and it was hype. I had a great experience on the first one, and I didn't even join the tournament because I was broke at the time. I was just spectating, and even that was worth the ride. WCW3 is said to be even better than the last two.

Read this, L2D. It will give you a pretty good idea of how important this tournament is.

Starting in early January, EVO is partnering with the top grass-roots tournament organizers to form a regular season of fighting games. Our 2011 season will run from January through July, culminating in the EVO World Finals July 29-31 at the Rio Hotel and Resort, Las Vegas. At each stop of the tournament season, players will earn ranking points that will directly determine their seed in the tournament brackets at the EVO World Finals. With literally thousands of players attending the finals, you're going to want to secure that seed if you want to advance far in the brackets.

More information, including our 2011 schedule of events, after the jump!

K, my last ditch effort...I can't make it down there on my own, so if anyone in Portland, Oregon is going down to the tourny, let me know. I would love to get a ride with you. I really want to go.

If not, then maybe next tourny, Glen. Thanks for the invite though, appreciate it. Maybe I'll get to see you all one day soon enough.

When I signed up, can I put my PSN as "LIVE2DIE", or do I have to put it like it is actually spelled, which is "Live2Diee"?

Anything you want man. The Gamer-Handle area has nothing to do with PSN or XBL, but rather who you will go as.

I sign up as Krayzie Bone. This is how you will show up on the brackets.
