From reviewing the link above, it appears that MKX pools will begin at 10 A.M. PST this Saturday, lasting until the bracket is reduced to only the top eight participants. These players will then re-convene this Sunday at 2 P.M. PST to finish the tournament. All of the MKX action will be broadcast at https://www.twitch.tv/leveluplive2!

[ArmedCalf]

So-Cal: So MKX scene how exciting do you want this tournament to be, a little? A lot?

MKX Scene: Just fuck me up fam

So-Cal: Say no more

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Kill em @Tweedy

 

[Awkward Sloth]

Please adjust pool 4 & 5. The others are too stacked.

 

[16 Bit]

terrible seeding. not final, right?

 

[SneakyTortoise]

Crazily stacked tournament. Shame foxy isn't going to defend. Pools 1 and 3 are crazy

 

[GamerBlake90]

Please note that with on-site registration available, these pools are subject to change.

Although as I don't assist in running SCR, you would be better off contacting Alex Valle on Twitter to inquire.

 

[STRYKIE]

Madzin, MIT and Tweedy all in the same pool, then DJT, Michaelangelo, and Scar all in the same pool? Not sure how I feel about that.

Shit is stacked no matter what way you slice it though, more stacked than an hour long game of jenga. Bring this weekend on.

 

[HuttonMD]

LET'S GOOOOO @Tweedy !!!

Terry bros aren't going

 

[Paul the Octopus]

Pool 5 seems way easier than the rest to me

 

[STRYKIE]

Terry bros aren't going

Well that's some reprieve I guess.

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

SonicFox is in pool 5 but I think @YOMI RM JagoBlake didn't write it down on accident.

My laptop's copy/paste feature decided it hated me. -_-

Corrected, thank you for the note!

 

[Scott The Scot]

Some of these pools are STACKED lol. Here's my predictions based on the last patch and just generally my hunch.

Pool: winners / losers
1: Bee / Reo
2: Madzin / Tweedy
3: King / Hayatei
4: Perfect Legend / iLuusions
5: Sonic Fox / Shinobi Shaolin
6: Dragon / Zyphox
7: Scar / Michaelangelo
8: Wound Cowboy / SylverRye

[Tweedy]

Scot has me losing to someone who isn't going.

 

[STRYKIE]

Maybe it's a MIT dupe from the TYM discord

 

[CrazyFingers]

DAMN THIS TOURNAMENT IS STACKED.

 

[Tanno]

After the patch, I think that some will be surely winning this. Now the Alien mains will cry.

 

[Second Saint]

I was excited that the Terry's were going to be there damn it. Too bad :/

Even without them this tournament is stacked! A lot of good players going to drown in pools.

 

[leoj89]

So will the pools be streamed ? cause as a viewr they look incredible.

 

[Tweedy]

Guys, keep in mind that these pools are so stacked because they include top 32. Typically pools will stop before top 32 if the major is big enough, but similar to CEO this year, if you make it out of pools, you're in top 16.

So each pool will have 2-3 players(or more) who belong in top 32/16 at least. How it goes.

 

[STB Shujinkydink]

cheering for this dude

...Sleep? Did I read that right?
