NEC 17 Mortal Kombat X Top 8 is Set for Sunday @ 6PM EST Feat. EVO 2016 Finals Runback!

[STORMS]

Another amazing @BigE Gaming events has begun to hit the books. Northeast Championships XVII struck the King of Prussia area in PA this weekend with the honor of international competition including 2nd place EVO 2016 finalist Tekken Master, among others; Madzin, A f0xy Grampa and more.

I should also note that from a lot of the Kombat Cup presence, we also had players: Noble Tweedy w/ a fantastic Kenshi showing almost making Top 8 in his 3rd ever major(?), GTG Silverrye making Top 8, Circa Destroyer bringing the hype and popping off and entering into winner's top 8, the vigilant Noble Dragon always looking for blood, the scary Scar who has eliminated the Best before and will no doubt do it again, GTG Semiij w/ that Mileena loyalty.

Thank you to @Shock @Mikemetroid for the hospitality today. It was great seeing everyone, even if I didn't make it very loud that I was in attendance. It was great to see @A F0xy Grampa , TekkenMaster, @Madzin who traveled the ocean to attend.

I am purely a spectator anymore and also helped out a bit w/ the stream tonight. @Tweedy don't let your loss get to you... you did great today.

Circa Destroyer wins for best pop-offs.

Michelangelo and KitanaPrime's commentary was great, are they going to commentate the top8 as well?

also Semij's Mileena was insane.

 

[Slymind]

Silver rye in there nice! Destroyer was insane in this tournament, if he keeps his performance, he might end up taking it.

Also, Who sent Fox to losers?

Hayatei in top16

 

[Saltea Moonspell]

That was amazing TOP 16. A lot has changed since the last patch, the pace is down a bit, there is room to breath. Variety of characters, variations. It was nice to see people sticking to their guns. Overall the game looks really really good now.

 

[SneakyTortoise]

Sounds like there'll be some great matches to catch up on. Good shit to destroyer

 

[Matix218]

Great tournament so far

 

[Ayase Chihaya]

Can anyone fill me in on any hype moments prior to top 8? I'd like to make the gifs but couldn't stay up all night to watch it all so I'd be happy if anyone could fill me in!

Semij vs Destroyer was pretty hype

 

[Sutter Pain]

So what were the biggest upsets so far and who has failed to perform after the last patch?

 

[Gofer_MK]

So does Hayatei play Ronin, Lasher or SR?

Biggest hype moments:
1) destroyer beating afoxygrampa and semiij (complete with epic pop offs)

2) hayatei using low tier ronin and beating sonicfox

3) tekken masters who set vs foxy

4) when i did 5 u4s in a combo vs tweedy (just adding it because i heard the screams and saw people standing when it happened)

 

[Gofer_MK]

Ronin

@Ayase Chihaya need to make #4 an animated gif that repeats itself so it looks like an infinite
