Congratz to Tweedy,your result might not shut up the haters, but you definitely earned some respect where it matters, and thats the offline scene. Plus you made Sonic Cox switch to Acidic, and that counts for something.

Huh, wonder why this thread barely got any attention. Congrats to Sonic for winning, it was really cool that you did it with Gun Slinger.

But of course, good stuff to Tweedy. He is the person who's bringing back the hype to this community and I think it's awesome because we really need it.

As a viewer, TCW was a pleasure to watch. The fact that there was no wait time between matches and one would end but then smoothly transition to the next match was fantastic. Loved it. More tournaments have to start doing this if possible. Production was S tier.

Tweedy da Gawd, don't stunt the people who are calling you names and crap. Keep on mopping fam! Was this your first tourney?

Yeah

I wasn't really nervous and I play on the same monitor at home that they used at the event, so I may be a rare case. I also didn't eat any fatty meals before my matches and played hella casuals.

I'd suggest everyone else to do the same things before their first tournament.

I'm quite impressed that Tweedy managed to make it to the #5 spot, good to see he has the skills to back up his words.

Gross. I was hoping KevoDaMan was gone. havent seen him since mk9. Was hoping the scumbag moved to a different game. o well.

Trust me, I'm a doctor
People don't realize how important how you eat at a tournament is mad important
This is true.

I always lose because I eat 8 grilled cheese, a double cheeseburger, two large sides of bacon, a side of sausage, and sweet tea as a snack.

I'm sure if I had an apple I'd win... Or die, I'm really not sure which by this point.

@N0rdicNinja , can you send me the link only for the Top 8 till the Grand Finals? I watched the entire 32 Bracket and only the 16 Bracket ones, but after the 16 Bracket I felt asleep. I missed the Top 8 till the Grand Finals. Would love to see the entire Top 8 to see what happened. Thanks.

I WILL EAT THIS GAME
If MKX was ECW, then Tweedy would be its Rob Van Dam, and TCW would be its Manhattan Center.

Congrats, man. You're bringing the fire back, one five star Alien splash at a time.
