JustCRUM's Mortal Kombat Interviews + Coverage Discussion Thread

[CRUM]

Since TYM went down, I have been working diligently to provide Mortal Kombat with the coverage and recognition that I believe it deserves. Some of you may remember my pair of interviews with CD jr and Perfect Legend prior to MLG Raleigh. Despite not having TYM as a means to promote my material, I took to Twitter to set up and conduct interviews with some of the Raleigh participants after the event. I would like to thank all of the guys on Twitter who were constantly retweeting my interviews and helping me gain more readers. If anyone is interesting in setting up one of the these interviews, feel free to contact me through TYM or on Twitter @JustCRUM. Below I will post the interviews and posts that the Mortal Kombat Community may have missed during the hiatus of TYM.

Great stuff Crum, amazing write ups. Soup vs Forever King was insanely hype. I just wish someone would have recorded my set with Kevo.

Man none of my wins from SJ got posted on youtube, only the losses, that always happens to me! Go to youtube and type in Joker8417, and you will watch a bunch of vids of me losing except some online matches of me fighting friction burn lol.

hey it was great to meet you too man that Smoke had me stumped. My girlfriend told me afterwards that we ended up playing casuals for like 2 or 3 hours. I'm going to try to make it out to Dallas and maybe NEC.

 

[Matix218]

Yeah we played for a long time, it took forever for the brackets to start so we just kept on playing haha. I think NEC will be way more exciting than SJ just because there wont be an MLG event the same day so all of the heavy hitters will be there. It is awesome just to watch the big name guys go at it in person. Your girlfriend is awesome for going to a tournament with you and she seemed to know a lot about the game and the scene. That's really cool!

Nice cage BTW, very intense rushdown pressure!
