I won't be able to make this but I'm curious if you are allowing DLC characters. I understand why they're banned at Evo but I'm really interested in seeing them in tournament.
 
Ha Storms, if anyone can make it happen out there it's you brotha!

This venue looks fucking awesome from what I saw in that last promo video, looks like all it's missing is a couple stripper poles, lol. Gonna go check the place out this weekend. Good stuff Alex. Still can't believe I ran into you in a XBL Ranked match heh.

Excellent question sir.

How about we let the community decide.

To those attending: Post your thoughts in this thread to help us make a decision.


I am for DLC chars btw, but I understand if some players think it's still too early.

Discuss!

Don't know how to create a poll thread sir. Can you help out? =)
Create a new thread and before you post it you'll see options below asking if you would like to create a poll and it'll also ask how many options/selectong you would like, then click "post" and it'll take you to where you fill in the "selections".

Then simply, click post again. Any more questions, hit me up. :)
