GOL | BBW Messiah Wins MKXL at SLAM 2016!

[ATP2014]

On April 16, 2016, a brand new FGC event was held in Baton Rouge Louisiana known as South Louisiana Major, or SLAM. A $200 dollar pot bonus for MKX enough players to garner a full 32 man bracket, filled with good players from both Louisiana and Austin. In the end, it would end being myself and the hometown hero GOL | BBW Messiah, otherwise known as Rashaan in GF. This set was a runback from Winner's Finals where I admittedly got mopped up, but with a few adjustments I managed to stage a bit of a comeback and make the final score much closer. Link to the archives are below, check them out and help support the newest tournament series to the scene!

1st: GOL | BBW Messiah (Boneshaper Shinnok, Mystic Ermac)

The matches will be in Level482gaming's Twitch archive.

They usually upload them to YouTube at some point, but not always. I'd simply watch the archive.

Props to all the Texas guys that came out. It was awesome and made the tournament that much better.

Props to ATP for putting on a great show in Grand Finals. Hope to see you all again, soon.

Great matches guys



Ah, almost forgot, man that broken A-list top2 material surely wrecked top 8 in this tournament, they better nerf him soon or otherwise we'll be seeing all A-List top 16 this EVO.

[Israfel]

is there a challenge bracket for this?

 

[Trauma_and_Pain]

I just don't even know what to think of a name like "BBW Messiah".

The bracket was run on paper the whole way, so no challonge brackets.

If you are wondering what happened to GnarlyGatoAlex, he went 1-2, lost to a Louisiana Tempest called Pygmy Potato and an Austin Shaolin called Vibu.

Thanks, do you know if anybody from OK went? I don't remember hearing about anybody going but I stay away from that facebook group unless I have to for the most part.

No I don't think there was anyone from Oklahoma there.
