We'll burn you all—that is your fate!
Sup Yall. Although i know people are probably tired of seeing Sonic Fox win this top 8 was a bit different than other top 8's.

Forever Elite: The 14 year old finally has broken out and made his first top 8 at a big event. Using mostly duelist Liu Kang a Variation that he said wasn't even good. Elite pulled out Flame Fist a few times but most of his victories where from the use of duelist. Finally taking everyone's advice and sticking with one character he showed the world how broken his character actually was. Pressure, setups, ORBS, MORE ORBS. Useless healing. And D2, After D2, After D2. Good job on your first top 8 dude.

Saltface NS: The Mileena/Jason/Doesn'tevenplaythegameanymore. Saltface has been MIA for a while now. Saying things like I'm done with this game. Or i am no longer playing Mileena. Or Jason Is top tier. He has finally found time to take a break from real life and take the long trip to Philly. Showing the world that not only is piercing mileena broken but so is Ravenous and Etheral. d1 pounce, d1 pounce, teleport, EX teleport. BROKEN. And even after saying he was done with Mileena many time different times we still mostly saw him using Mileena. D:. But seriously dude congrats on your top 8 man. Glad to see you back and hope to see you at TCW.

Sylverrye: Another top 8 for the Dragons Fire of Philly. Although this is not his first top 8 it is his second in a row. Although he may not have the Krispest of cancel 100% of the time he is still able to d2 his way into victory. After seeing aliens left and right the crowd was happy to see a new character even if the character just block pressured every one death. It was nice to see all 3 variations of Liu Kang. 3x the D2. Good job on the second top 8. Glad to see you improving so much.

Noble Illusions: The Quan, Kotal, Cassie, Kung Jin, *Okay who doesn't he play*. Illusions has been fishing for that top 8 for the longest time. Although he was able to get 2nd at NWM he still was craving more. Making the long flight from WA to Philly this country warrior continues to amaze us all by being at all these events. Illusions used a variety of character to defeat his opponents from Potato, to normalized, it is always a pleasure to see which character he will pull out. Like his scumbag Kung Jin Pick. D:. Grats on another top 8 dude. And big props on being able to travel to all these events.

EVB Big D: The Downplayer/Up-player/Equalizer? Big D after getting top 8 at Evo wanted to flex his souls and continue his dominating force. His next stop Summer Jam. Big D was sent through the gauntlet after getting sent to losers in the earlier part of the tournament. He slowly began to collect the souls of the people who say ermac is top tier so his strength could increase. Once he made top 8 he was almost at full power, until the souls of all the Ermac downplayers weakened him. Another top 8 for Big D and EVB is continuing to show its strength. Hope to see more of that spectral Ermac doe.

Noble Raptor: Son of Slips. The young child has made top 8 at every event he went to. Until evo. This left a bad taste in Raptors mouth. He returned home to a disappointed Slips. After months of forced training raptor asked his adopted father what he could do to redeem himself. Slips gave him 2 choices. Go to summer jam and get top 8. Or have better stories than me. At that point raptor knew his only option was to get top 8 at summer jam. Another top 8 for Noble. 2 Nobles in top 8 this tournament but Where is Lance?

EVB Dragon: He used Alien and got top 8. Rip. Nah but seriously a recent pick for EVB and a great one. Dragon continues to show his dominance. Even though people say shit left and right he continues to get top 8. Showing how good of a player he is. Some may say its cause of alien but sometimes you gotta pick a top tier to get the W.

cR Sonic Fox: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN. Do i even have to say anything. Hes the fucking best. 2 Time Evo Champ for MKX. Injustice Champ. Skullgirls Champ. Doa Champ? Man idk. Hes really fucking good. Can anyone stop him consistently? Or will this massacre continue through to injustice 2.

The world's least hype player
Its cause they start so young and join the FGC so young. Elite started when he was 14-15 during injustice.
I started when I was 16 or so in injustice as well. I'm 18 now but didn't start taking things relatively seriously until MKX.

@Tim Static
Haha this was a good read despite the fact a tournament results thread is a must read alone. Nice mini bios for top 8. Been telling myself since 2011 that I'll start traveling and making mention in some of these threads, I'm one big eye roll to the elder gods
 

GOOD DRAGON

Awesometacular
Even if your saying "I have fun writing stupid articles. Being unprofessional." you should still get some of your facts straight - Elite isn't 14 and the way its written comes off as condescending. He also from what i can remember doesn't say deulist is bad at all - he just says he isn't top tier and he has some rather unfavourable matchups. So at least be unprofessional with dignity.

Picking Kung Jin is a scumbag move now? :p

But seriously, congrats to everyone in top 8. Watching Sylverrye and Elite doing insane work with Liu Kang was especially hype.

Jesus people. @RM Indecisive wrote a fun article. No one, mods included, stepped up to write one so he took the liberty. Some of you really need to get over your sense of entitlement. Thanks for writing the article Indecisive!
NP. I Enjoy writing them. I wrote this one after work and was tired and didn't care lol. It started with me jokingly taking shots at Elite then i decided fuck it and did it for everyone.

Also these are things i would tell them in person. The except being like Raptor cause his is a story. I would joke with Elite about his age cause i meet him when he was 14 during injustice. I would tell him his character is broken since it got top 8. All his D2's. I would tell Sylver he did great but his cancels are a bit off Which i am pretty sure he knows. I would give saltface shit for saying he would quit and dropping mileena. I did it during injustice when he did the same thing. You get the idea. This is more for everyone to see not just a reply to you. Thats one of the best parts about meeting people at events is that you can just mess around with them and people don't really care. They do the same to me.

I mean the mods on TYM have not been mentioning the winner in thread titles, but as stated, @RM Indecisive is not a mod. Even though we have a lot of mods, no one gets paid for this and we all can get busy. So we are very grateful when any member contributes especially when it comes to stuff like this.

Also, tact goes a long way. If you would have calmly and respectfully requested that the winner be removed from the title, I would have already done it. @Jynks

UGH.

Cleaned up thread. No thanks to @Jynks to fucking rerailing this thread about something that should have either been reported or PM'd to a mod. And FYI, a mod didn't do anything in regards to this thread other than me when I promoted it. It had spoilers? Gee sorry, I guess you should stay off the internet until whenever you have time to catch up. We've tried to go that route before, but for YEARS that's how it's been done. It was a special thing to see your name in the thread after you win a tourney. And SRK does it, others do it, and regardless of who does it or doesn't, you don't start a shit in a thread about it. Period @RM Indecisive took the time to cover this as many of the staff didn't have time Sunday to cover it. So stay off of here until you've caught up with tourney results as you might see them in other threads or on profile posts. And don't go on social media either. We'll do what we can but majority rules, and this is just how we've done things forever. Adapt.

That being said, any comments pertaining to anything other than the results of the MKXL tourney at Summer Jam X will be deleted.
