Non-US Players Attending EVO [Underdog Discussion]

I'm hoping to see as many people as possible internationally coming to EVO, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada so far possibly several people from South America (I thought someone won a tournament in Chile to get to come?:confused:) and tons of others. Couple that with the amazing talent of the international MK players would make EVO truly grand.


If Ryan Hart is showing up again he better have a better Kabal than last year.

OMG that's Cookie? He's marvelously funny, gotta respect someone with style like that lmao at the pose.

1man3letters: I know he probably cannot come, but this is every Baraka players #1 wish. He would make a dent, for sure.
metzos13: Like everyone else says, it would be cool to see how better he makes the character look than anyone here(I do believe he would)
Hidan: He plays quan, quan is hella fun to watch
ETC Mcfly: KL is fun to watch
Under_The_Mayo: Very knowledgeable player
@Tony_T: Oh god this would be so fun to watch

That is my wishlist. Probably forgot some, but oh well.
It breaks my heart that I'm going to be missing what likely would be one of the best moments of my life. This community has become incredibly important to me, and a main source of social interaction since I'm in a foreign country unable to fully communicate due to my low language skills. It would be the biggest honor to spend just a few days with all these people I've come to know and, in many case, look up to. Sadly, that's just not the way life panned out for me. In another world guys.

But I'm still gonna get some of you fuckers down to Mexico to stay a week with my team. I swear it.

We need a donation thread for Metzos. I'd love for him to go to Evo.
This. In all honesty, originally the Donate thread was for Europe and then it was reopened with the focus on UK.

(Also, isn't @LAD_Lurker coming to EVO? I believe he'd fit the category of players in this thread.)

You will BOW to me!

Well that happened cause the UK team already had a 5 man team to compete against the top US players. Cant say i dissagree with that. UK does not represent the entire EU, thats why it was decided to be called "USA vs UK".

i tallied up the number of shoutouts so far. if the players get enough support, maybe a donation thread could be possible like some are discussing already? ultimately it would be up to you guys and how badly you wanna see our members play

I honestly would love to go. There is so many people i would want to meet and play. Even just hanging out together would be awesome!

Last time i checked, a flight to the USA from AUS costs roughly $3000 return. I guess its just not ment to be :(

Erm.. no offence but you lost your reliability after putting Ermac on 6/4 vs Kitana and Cage... god know Cage destroys Ermac and Kitana is 5/5 .
I dont know any good Ermac players other than Metzos, do you?

I mean GOOD Ermac players, REALLY good. He's the best 1 to listen to for the character, I've never seen an Ermac in any other tournament that comes even close to his skill with the character.

Tier lists are all a matter of opinion and pretty much based on a person's experience, so how can he legitamately lose credibility? That's a really unfair approach to take to be honest.

yes iv seen him on stream but i got ALOT of exp in the Ermac Kitana match since my training buddy before switching to Kabal used to play Ermac and we mostly went even and both characters have theyr stuf Ermac must keep Kitana out and Kitana must get in Kitana can rushdown Ermac, but not the other way around, same as Cage once Cage gets in on Ermac hes helpless, He never got to fight any pro Kitana and just beat mediocre ones doenst mean the match is 6/4 if he fights CD or 16bit or Mr.Mileena he will change hes point of view, same whit Cage put him to fight Maxter or Curbo or any good Cage.

You think Ermac wins vs Cage 6/4?? I never sayd u are bad player man!!
Against Metzos it very well may have been, thats what I'm talking about, he plays the character in such a difficult way, if not then its 5-5. There was never any point in the match where I could say to myself 'I'm clearly at advantage here, if I do this or this etc.'

But if you corner Ermac how on earth is he scaping that?, how he scapes the abusive presure Cage does? no Armors slow normals, unsafe specials? he can poke like any other char but he would still be in the corner or under presure.

I have Kitana vs. Ermac at 5/5 but I don't think 4/6 is out of the question.
You got way more EXP than I do what makes it not be out of question? they say Kabal and Kenshi are 6/4 Ermac doenst fell that bad, actually Sektor feels hard to beat too in the right hands.

You won't be getting Metzos's Ermac to the corner. You will probably be spending 80% of the round dash blocking your way in just to get a d1 and when you do get it you're into his air blast range. You cannot zone him from full screen and don't even think about jumping at him. I had fun playing him at WGC we had some great games in casuals but my god it was hard work.

Its a shame he cannot make Evo I've no doubt he would have turned some heads.

People forget metzos trains with cimmerians cage, which is fantastic. It's not like he doesnt have any cage players to fight in Greece.
