Check both their twitters, it's being sorted behind the scenes.
I hope Momochi sticks with Cody for the non-Fei Long matches in San Fran. He probably will against Daigo, but for Rufus/Fei/Cammy, I'd understand if he went with Gouki. What with this game behind so focused on knockdowns, and Cody needing to burn 3 bars just to have a truly safe wakeup.
I don't know. I feel like the only reason he played Cody at all today was because he had already made top 2. I mean, the only game he played Cody was against Mago.

They shouldn't complain regardless.. Just practice. Did the US ever complain when JP came to us and won many of our tournaments in the past?

The US didn't take anyone elses spot in anything though...
I was thinking more along the lines of this.

I agree, Matt is definitely saying all the right things here. Also confirmation Mike is with IPL for the long haul, not just for the exhibition.
Also confirms licensing is still a factor when/if they add Marvel.
EDIT:
Slasher also did an interview with Justin Wong at IPL5. Asks good questions, like whether people will come out to invitationals, whether the format will fit the audience that come out to majors currently, how viewership will differ, etc. Justin also comments on how much he likes SFxTK v2013. He's pretty much putting all his chips on SFxTK right now, he doesn't sound like he expects to do very well in AE. And he's also doing the Infiltration thing and taking notes.
I actually agree with a lot of what Wong is saying despite not agreeing with his comments on eSports in the past.
And another interview with Mike Ross. It's kind of amazing how The People's Champ is the literal bridge between Capcom, IPL and the community.
ALSO MIKE SMILES WHEN HE CORRECTS SLASHER ON AE AND SFxTK BEING THE *INITIAL* GAMES ANNOUNCED

Yes, yes I've been corrected on that. Though there was still some west coast taking east coast spots.
Ryan Hart popping off after losing
lol damn, what is this from?

The Brazilian Cammy that beat Tokido, Aliuone and Problem X.

Nope, he came 3rd in the Asian quals. He qualified for SFxT though.
Easy to say when no international players show up, lol. Ryan would've had a good shot in both Texas and LA. He blew up Justin in Kuwait (his teammate is a top Rufus) and as sick as Snake Eyez is, I don't know if his Gief would beat a Sagat of that calibre.
Luffy and Problem X would've been huge threats too.
As for Justin and Marn taking French SBO spots in early 09, that's abit of a pointless comparison to use today, not to mention the fact France's (they never tell anyone else in Europe when SBO quals are) two best players play on pad and therefore can't compete.

Well most of these qualifiers were open qualifiers and everybody knew that going in. It's not Mago or Momochi's fault that Ryan waited all the way till the UK qualifier to enter. I think if he had gone to one of the later American qualifiers he probably would have earned a spot. But he didn't want to do that for whatever reason so it's on him for only giving himself one shot at this(unless he did try to win the UK tournament to rep the UK in the French qualifier).
Oh and I know this won't happen, but I hope next week every set is played as a 3/5 instead of 2/3. I mean the players are already set, and it's a short list. So why not have longer sets so all these top players have more "outs" to try and win their matches?

He also got suspended by Western Wolves. What a blowup. God Daaaaaamn
Maybe Ryan should be angry at WW not flying him to Brazil and LA and JApan so he could qualify.

Yep, looks like Ryan may not be sponsored much longer.
Sorry Ryan, but I am all for people being blown up for being idiots on Twitter.

fuckin' called it, man
Their site is taking forever to load what did it say
His actions after his loss against fellow Team Mad Catz player, Mago were not fitting of a Western Wolves player. His tweet did not portray good sportsmanship or professional conduct. It did not reflect the views and values of Western Wolves in any way. On behalf of the entire organisation we would like to extend our apologies to Mad Catz and emphasize that we hold them in the highest regard.

Ryan Hart is another victim of saying stupid shit on Twitter.
It would be amazing, the Kuwait tourney did 3/5 for SF too, but it's still a Top 16, it will take a long time.

Naah, this is more of a PR/symbolic suspension since he doesn't have anymore big events for the rest of the year.
He's still is their best performing UK player by far and they don't want to lose him over one stupid tweet, and neither is mad catz gonna want that to happen either.

Madcatz probably doesn't want WW to let go Ryan, I doubt he's leaving. Ryan is a good investment for both WW and MCZ in European FG community. Letting him go over an emotional mishap even after he apologized quickly after would be dumb for all parties involved.
The problem is, Ryan always acts like this, so why would you want to continue sponsoring him when its highly likely he'll do this again in the future?

He bring in $$$. That's why.
I wonder how well FChamp is doing for Complexity.
Fchamp really hasn't done much of anything offensive since he got sponsored, dude has actually managed to compose himself. Fchamp is also the type to pop off in person or behind closed doors, where as Ryan always goes to Facebook or Twitter to complain as loudly as possible.
But clearly he doesn't!

I was at the UK SF 25th thing - just back - and Ryan looked fucking heartbroken. It's been a long time since I've seen somebody look that destroyed by a match. He walked clean out after his loss, and didn't return for a good half an hour. When he did, he walked straight to the casual stations and carried on playing. Sad that he made that poorly judged tweet.
Oh my god

Can't wait for Fanatiq's excuse for this one.
I don't know who's going to win the finals next week, but Umehara and Wong are incredibly hungry + putting in the work so I just can't bet against them. 
That's going to be a can't miss final and I'm also looking forward to the changes in SF X Tekken as I wouldn't mind jumping into the game if it's finally in a proper state. :]

Daigo vs Wong finals would be the most proper thing.
Dear GOD, DO THE RIGHT THING!
Same excuse he always use at majors. It's on PS3.
