I've been talking with TOS since last two months with a possibility of Angola start running something similar to Topanga A League but with street fighter.
The idea was that the league would last the entire year and would have the biggest prizes yet in the end of it, without necessarely placing in the regular double eliminations tournaments.
It seems that my Idea was aproved but there are things yet to be organized, as we know, there is a great possibility that a next MK will be out next year, so we wanted to give a very long run on MK9 as much as possible, not only because we love the game, but also because the way it shaped the competitive gaming in our country, and how it brought us all together, discussing stuff and learning different thing in life from each own.
Due the current and long list of attendands in any video game tournament ever held, putting together a round robin seemed the best idea to go for for multiple reasons:
1) There are people that claims to perform better on longer sets than on a best of 3/5
2) There are people who never matched in tournaments before.
3) We wanted to give chance of grunge matches to happen so we can have salty runbacks or upsets
4) We wanted to break down an all vs all tier list and see how plays out in the end of the league.
5) Chance of getting more people to play and achive bigger stages.
6) Setting up a solid foot for when MK10 lands, which everyone is already excited about.
7) A big final goodbye to MK9 before MK10.
We haven't decided a name for the league yet, its been a tough call, yet the names to decide are.
Outworld League: Because its a Mortal Kombat Game
ZZ <- Z League: Because during the UMK3 era, Sega Genesis was the ground of many, and yet, the most populars characters in Angola are Nightwolf, Sub-Zero and Scorpion, the name is picked over Subs and Night's HK HK back + HK string specially nightwolf due the corner infinite, only translated into the segas inputs wich we used as notation for years.
The League will be a ft10 on every single match, 2/4 competitors will run the set on every weekend, a judge and the Hauppague will be witnessing the progress and scores.
in the end, the top 8 with the biggest scores will run another round robin tournament where the top 5 only will get the prize money.
If we succeed with this league, by the time MK10 arrives, it will possibly be the most important tournament Angola shall have in the next following years for fighting games.
Street Fighter will also recieve a similar league, since the game is going wild lately and more players are starting to emerge.
