In the King of Prussia Mall, right outside Philly; a store is very interested in hosting bi-weekly or monthly Mortal Kombat events. I told them the prospects it could bring to their store; presented the with the research of average weekly stream watchers and the money involved from tournaments like MLG, EVO, and tournaments like Flawless Victory.
What they have to offer is a perfect location in America's third biggest mall. Enough space for 6-7 set ups. FIOS connection for streaming. Cheap venue fee ($10). In mall food locations ranging from cheap fast food (Taco Bell) to awesome restaurants (Cheesecake Factory, Ruby's) to bars (Rock Bottom)... looking at you Maxter. Also there is the Valley Forge Casino and Radison hotel a block away for people who wish to travel and make a weekend out of it. Also, there is my house; which at this point I would say 70% of the North East MK players have visited.
What we offer is a nice tight scene that is extremely dedicated in what we do. I honestly think we can bring them in more revenue by simply featuring them on TYM and SRK. Everyone loves an indi-game store/comic shop.
What we need to bring are the set ups and the people. They have the ps3's and game, but lets face it; MK needs ASUS monitors to be played on. If someone like N0rdicNinja or SWBeta would be willing to help run this event and make it part of their MAK team by providing monitors; we could really be on to something here.
So, I want to present these possible hosts with a list of people interested in either attending to play MK or willing to help run this scene and get it started. I know the WNBA is down for this; anyone else interested?
