This tournament really hit home. We had Maxter come out from mk9 and Jupiter from Injustice both doing very well. We even had PL making excuses (flashback to p1 advantage). If only we had CDJR, then the circle would've been complete.
 
Just finished the stream... great stuff SummerJam looked a blast. So many great players I can not possible mention them all but....

Shout out to Dragon.. the young kid was awesome, even if you did kick my fav HoneyBee from the comp. I thought that was a strong showing and even after seeing MIT's Tayna so often I saw moves from you I 'aint ever seen. Was sweet and I expect if you keep turning up this won't be the last we hear of ya.

HoneyBee such a shame! Shake it off brother and see you next time for that top8 win!

Jupiter - Fuck yes! Godlike! Wish you took it all the way but man that was awesome!

Aquaman - Dude, I loved every moment of you. On stream casting, on stream but off screen with the occasional drop in sounding like the MK announcer and a neat Kotal Khan as well. great stuff, the legend is not done!

Alucard - I can never spell your name, hope I got it right but I seriously think you are one of the best NRS players and while I'm sad you seam to have dropped KK, when your on stream I know there is a great game incoming!

Lord Brady - 39 dude, haha.. you and me both. We were back in the arcade when MK first turned up but your still doing so well. My reflexes make me a stream monster who can hardly beat his son! I thought you did really great and that was a heart breaking loss to Saltface and one of the best games in the entire event.

Yomi - What can you say about Yomi. Forever King talked some heavy smack recently and you guys backed it up dominating the entire event. The Yomi presence is no lie. the hate and a deep longing to see you guys fail is a real thing. Still there is no doubt you guys are among the cream of the NRS FGC... no doubt. You all rock.

SaltFace - But I have to do a single shout out to Saltface. Loved the Ethereal Mileena, and out of all Yomi (close call with Michelangelo) your the guy that I back the most. Loved the commentary as well and but seriously man, time to stop being nice and crush a few grand finals man... your fans DEMAND IT!

KitanaPrime - great showing as always and the mirror with Sonic was one of the highlights of the entire event. I was gunning for you man, at least hoping you would force a character change. Even so like Alucard when your on stream you know a great game is coming!! I only see you on major streams but eveytime you seam to be better, no way are you done! See ya next time!

Sonic - You are the best, no argument, no bias no bulllshit can take that away. I was sure you would take the reset but that desync was heartbreaking. No matter how much everyone wanted you to win, you can't win em all.

Forever King - Gratz man. Your like a WWE Heal. We all hate ya, but love you for it! Great win and a decisive one at that. You talked the smack, and backed it up and that is just fucking cool in my book. I 'aint gonna lie I wanted you to go down hard but man it made watching your games so fun. I had 5 mates over plus my entire family for top 8, drinking, cheering and side betting.. was a great show. You put on a great show!

Thanks to the event runners of SummerJam and all the other players! See you next time from the other side of that stream... MKx for ever and keep the pro scene moving. Fuck football... esports baby!
 
Everyone wanted sonic to win, no one wanted fk to win? I'm not sure what community you're following but it doesn't seem to be this one...
Depends on who you talk to. Sonic has a lot of fans that root for him and the combination of FK being a Yomi and playing HQT-Pred made him a target for many. The stream was very pro sonic, and same for pretty much everyone I know personally.. but that is kinda the point. No e-sport is united, people go for different things.

Still the cool thing is that whomever you back, we all win! Great games and a great grandfinal.. just a shame about the desync!

After watching the grand finals I almost wish NRS wouldn't touch the Predator in the patch except his damage output. It was like watching two Kabals fighting eachother, but one having only the zoning options and the other only the pressure. Such great level of play.

Yo, time for shoutouts!

@YOMI RM SaltFace - Yo! It was cool hanging with you again! Thanks to you, and Reno Racks not being able to show up, I was able to compete and make Top 32. My success at Summer Jam was thanks to you!

@YOMI Trepound380 - Thanks for the Kitana info. Thanks to you, @Kitana Prime, and @SonicFox5000 I was able to win my Loser's Finals match. I really appreciate it and It was fun playing your Johnny Cage.

its a lotta muh fuckers here who hate nrs and their games still posting on its forums and following its tournaments. Oh, and also buying and playing the games.
There it goes again.. "how dare you criticise anything about nrs/mkx, you're just a hater!"

This tournament was fuckin excellent. Congrats @FOREVER KING and again @Yomi Gaming becoming an empire more than a team. You guys need to spinoff sub teams, even if it's superficial.

And that crystalline bug, nrs pls
Cowboy vs King ft10 hype incoming

I am for wine & the company of questionable women
BTW all this woundcowboy up playing has to stop, i have played both of these guys and ForeverKing is at least a class higher than woundcowboy. I actually get games on cowboy but foreverking is something else. I feel like wound is a good player not great just good but his friends are trying to make him relevant (ahmm pig) another player whos ego is stronger than his actual skill.
 
Where are those people claiming that Forever King isn't a top 8 player at?
hes not, hes still the same level as before, the difference is now he get his hands on the most broken zoner/character in the game, hes still just a good player at most top10, no way in hell top 5, i dont like woundcowboy as well but i hope he destroyed him during ft10, pred is disgusting and really needs a big nerf, just like shinnok, but worse

The battle for that hypothetical 5th list spot is so heated lol

TYM and lists....

It's sweet than FK won, I know he's got a big head and always has, but I spose thats something I like about him, it makes him an interesting character for our community. Its good to see him finally get his time to shine.

There it goes again.. "how dare you criticise anything about nrs/mkx, you're just a hater!"
I must have missed a class. Can you please identify the criticism in the following statements?

The answer is, "because NRS game" and they probably won't fix anything about it in the patch. They'll just do random things to either break a character or kill a character and not fix stuff that fixes the game.
Gimme a break, just because NRS is owned by WB doesn't mean they have that little say in who ports their game. There's no reason WB would spend resources to baby NRS when they're obviously able to release games on their own
NRS AKA Incompetence R Us. Awful online, messed up the PC port, could not make previous Gen happen after announcing it would, glitches they know about happening in a major...this is a joke. Beware of trying to defend NRS, they will make you look like a dumb ass every time. Imagine all the bugs and glitches coming to a console near you with the new "reset" patch. Lol

From 3 out of context quotes? Sure thing

>They'll just do random things to either break a character or kill a character and not fix stuff that fixes the game.
Presumably refers to NRS's trigger happy balance patch fingers, while leaving things like all the whiff issues, crystalline tremor's corner issue, etc.

Second quote is too out of context, but essentially I'm saying NRS shares the blame for HVS's complete cock up, as they're the ones that hired HVS.

I'm not sure why you had any difficulties identifying the criticisms in the third quote. It's pretty obvious
>Awful online
>messed up the PC port
>could not make previous Gen happen after announcing it would
>glitches they know about happening in a major

I mean it's literally a list of criticisms

Uh, I don't hate King.

You did great King! I loved watching the Predator action. I think you're the first pro player I've seen consistently commit to a non-armored meter burn wake-up. Thanks for the show.

MAAAAAAAAAAAN...

Now I wish I would have watched top 8! Once I saw who made top 8, I stopped watching because all the hype was gone for me (no more STB, no more Jason, no more Sub Zero, etc) and I thought it would just be more of the same.

APPARENTLY NOT!

I love you, @FOREVER KING ! You are our savior! lol
