K7L33THA I've heard wild rumors that Kabal has high execution requirements, and only the most technically talented can play him

This is the gods blessed TRUTH.

 

[Mr. Mileena]

Kitana deserves another tourny win ;.;

Please no more Kabal ;.;

 

[D-Que Beats]

yo IKizzLE cant wait to play you man..we can be the midwest ketchup & mustard lol

 

[Keits]

The only actual complaints here are primarily that the pools are so stacked and we think we should have a stream for every since match, because quite frankly, every match will be quality. It's not bashing the TO, because I understand that you have to do what is best for the majority, but I also can't really conceive why Medina cannot stream if he has offered to or wants to. I realize there are contractual agreements, but I guess I just don't see what it matters even knowing that.

Anyway, just throwing out a different perspective on the issue.

Shout outs to Medina4life for doing so much for us. Appreciated.

You dont understand why a contract with my streaming partners stating that there will be no other streams on the UFGT showfloor would prevent another person from streaming...?

where was the contract posted...?

 

[GGA Jeremiah]

Keits thank you very much for posting pools so early. I am very thankful for that. Your organization is the best I have ever seen at a major. Also thank you again for streaming the MK pool. I know there are many other games out there and the streaming schedule to fit all those games must be a nightmare. And again another thanks for letting Medina record matches, that is most excellent.

I think Medina said it best. Medina has spoiled all of us in the MK community.

Basically, Chris G and Dizzy are coming out of Pool F.

 

[RTM2004]

16Bit NEVER got eliminated from tournaments by Kabal, he WILL make it out of pools!

Is it me or does Pool F looks... like not stiff competition at all?

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

IKizzLE I called clint last night and he repeated what u said

F is frustrating to compare to 16 bit's pool

If forever king , sabin or Tom come they should be added to that pool

The elder god pool

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

For those wondering

Alexander smith = blueNINE in my pool

The great Lao player

yeah, dizzy and moe are real pushovers

 

[Death]

Yeah Pool F is too weak. Pool H is brutal and G is tough but not as tough as H. They should move some players in the first 2 pools.

I 100% agree with Deits. We have been dedicated to MK streams lately but in reality were one of the smallest communities out there. It makes no sense having stream time over all the other games since our turn outs are always so small compared to the others and the stream numbers arent as good either. I think we just need to accept that MK will be just a side game at tournaments to cater to our community. Its just how it is. No point stressing about it.

 

[AK BeerGuyEd]

For those people complaining about the lack of MK streaming please stop. Of course as a MK player I want to have as much MK action as possible, but honestly it is what it is. Get off the couch and go to a tournament and with enough numbers and viewers then it will be streamed.

Tournaments like FR were awesome because we streamed so much action, but that is the exception to the way tournaments are run and streamed. Even with all that hype and massive amounts of coverage it was a bittersweet moment for Medina4life and I when we were told that we were going to be able to stream the Top 8 of MK instead of Spooky. Even with 2500+ viewers watching, MK would have benefited as a game to have 10K+ viewers watching it on Spooky's stream.

Even if it is possible for each game being played to have dedicated streams that does not help the overall FGC. We all need to build up respect for all of the fighting games and the players if you want the scene to continue to grow.

Now onto the pool predictions:

Pool D - Winners: Pig of the Hut Losers: Slips
Pool F - Winners: Dizzy Losers: JWong (yeah that's right JWong)
Pool G - Winners: CD Jr. Losers: Clint the Beast
Pool H - Winners: REO Losers: OSU 16 Bit

 

[Gengar]

To the topic on hand, my pool looks like it is going grind me into hamburger. Hope to see everyone there, and at GGA on Thursday night! Good luck!

you and me are playing for sure man!!

The elder god pool

I hope they do arrive, that pool needs spice to make it hot to watch on (if) stream!

 

[RTM2004]

Hmmm my prediction

Pool D -
Winners: Pig of the Hut
Loser's: Slips or Alexander Smith.. toss up

Pool F -
Winner's: Dizzy
Loser's: Chris G

Pool G -
Winner's: CD Jr.
Loser's: iKiZZle

Pool H -
Winner's: REO
Loser's: OSU 16 Bit or Kevo Da MaN.. toss up
I want Jeremiah's Sheeva to make it out pools!
Pool H is the most fierce one of this tournament.

 

[Gengar]

who is osu 16 bit? only 16 bit i know is GGA. get with the times.

that being said, we need to accept that we cant get streamed. its just how it is, and Medina4life has for sure spoiled us, but unfortunately at this tourney we wont be able to watch it live, instead youll have to watch it an hour later when it gets uploaded, honestly not that huge of a deal. its awesome that ufgt is having mk, and its only by fault of our own that we have a low turn out. if you want to see mk alot on stream then stop being online warriors and come to tourneys.

additionally, im pumped about my pool and cant wait to get bodied by the top players located within it =]

 

[Keits]

where was the contract posted...?

Businesses post private contracts online for all to see now? (it was not posted, it is not for you)

We will take a look at the seeding issue tonight with F being "light" and H being "heavy", but there are a few other considerations that can block a potential switch (like pool overlaps). I will, however, give it a look and see if something is possible.

 

[Euphoric]

Last I checked MLG is a business too, but FGC is all 'Community'. #Kappa

Yet, who get's shitted on for being a business, corporate, evil, Illuminati in debates.

Keep up the work good work , I just wanted to point out the irony.

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

Right now, I'm trying to spend less time thinking about who's in my pool and more time on the fact that I want that Infinity Gauntlet.

POSITIVE THINKING!
