I think @summoning666 was telling people about this. Is it being streamed? This is a tournament that I'd actually like to watch.

@NoDoubt is also not going, other than covid the man has gone to every offline event for a decade, and even know he wont admit to you guys, its remarkable after a certain umk3 player @dubson publicly physically threatened to beat his ass in ohio now all the sudden the USA best UMK3 player is not attending. The TO was aware of the hours worth of terroristic threats vs a player on a steam on youtube yet didn’t even ban or address the aggressor. So yea the Michael Jordan of UMK3 will not be attending do to allowed threats of violence towards him. Shitty tbh

Robyn Steele LOL What up dude!!
Cuzzo you sent me a message on Skype like 3 years ago, I missed it by 1 day, and then you disappeared forever. Either hit me back on skype or add me on discorde MR IGOTBASS #2797
 
what up @AnTi , been a long time man!!

And, in case anyone was wondering - i'm addressing everyone when I say this - there have been rumors and grumblings about threatening, someone wanting to fight, etc...
I've listened to that interaction on several occasions and spoken to both primary people involved.- one conversation lasted a bit longer, but still had a very real conversation. And, given the nature of the interaction on said video, and some of the other parties involved... no one is banned from the event.

Shame this stuff is still happening in 2023. Over a video game. I'd say grow up, but some of us have literally had 2 lifetimes of opportunities to do so.

I won't be addressing this matter further.

Had the tourny ran between June 23rd - 7th of July I prob could of went since one of my jobs has us off that period, but I’m currently working 2 with no weekends off

For the record, Iv never attended all events and that includes all ECT east coast majors, none in 2012, 2018, n did not plan on going to 2020 before it was cancelled, nor 2021.

Iv already attended tournies with written planned threats so that’s kinda old to me. Anyone wants to fight, come to Jersey n leave Drew’s gathering out of it. I’m from north Philly and there are no pussies in this corner

Bass & Sans are confirmed to go so glad to see more top players volunteering. I’ll def try catching the stream n donating

No Drew its not Rumors or Grublings and quite frankly ur a hypocrite and full of shit. See this is what you love to do is brush shit under the rug and allow someone to physically threaten another player who happens to be the 10 time umk3 champion.


Idc what you do with ur fake game and ur only weekend a year of friends but you will not lie and tell people ita rumous. And this is why the champion wont come to ur event cause it not safe. Fuck off

I agree either me or Sans will take him out for you. No problems.
