EDIT: Hold up, Justin replied to Zhi to say that he's still in. Well that's 3 out of 4 then.

jwong said he's not out yet

Justin Wong ‏@JWonggg 5m
@Zhieeep I didn't lose yet!

 

[Immortal Technique]

looks like Justin will still have to get past Shiro to get out of the pool

Daigo with his patented off stream elimination. But at this tournament that's not saying much

 

[Marceles]

Lmao wow stormKUBO the Hugo player beat Daigo

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Lmao wow stormKUBO the Hugo player beat Daigo

So Daigo lost to an Alex player (an Hugo player in Ultra)?

 

[xCobalt]

I know people go back and forth on which commentators they dislike most but Cameraman is the worst. Dude is so oblivious

Lmao wow stormKUBO the Hugo player beat Daigo

[KidA Seven]

Yeah he is.

 

[Tripon]

Daigo, Justin, Xian, and Ricki confirmed eliminated in pools.


Nemo makes it to top 64 in losers.

Fuck, I had Daigo and Machaboo(who drowned yesterday) in my fantasy pool.

keijin's fang (the one who beat haitani) facing gamerbee now

 

[Dahbomb]

America drowned in pools?

SMH...

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Preview of evo Japan? Top players (specifically Americans) drowning in pools more than usual?

 

[TheTylerRob]

Burnout and Cameraman on commentary bleh. Bring back Mike Ross.

Worst commentary and tons of interesting matches played off stream... How are they botching Japan Cup so hard?

 

[pixelish]

burnout's commentary is so dry. he always sucks the hype out whenever he's on commentary at shadowloo showdown.

 

[Marceles]

Burnout and Cameraman on commentary bleh. Bring back Mike Ross.

Yeah not a lot of chemistry between them. They both need Zhi

 

[NastyBook]

Good shit, Gamerbee. Played very patiently against a character designed to test the very same thing.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

America drowned in pools?

SMH...

Is brent america's last hope?

No.

Julio, Killer Kai are also in.

I think KBrad, too?

 

[Totakeke]

As a casual spectator, Necalli is just so boring to watch. His matches are too binary.

 

[Marceles]

No.

Julio, Killer Kai are also in.

I think KBrad, too?

Julio vs. Killer Kai in Losers

Winner of that fights Brent

K-Brad, Chris T still in

Talking about getting team USA ready right now it seems.

 

[Zackat]

that damage on the ryu combo is gross.

 

[- J - D -]

These commentators are the anti-hype.

 

[BadWolf]

Damn, Harumi is solid.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Nice comeback from Harumi. That was huge damage that she had to recover from.

 

[Immortal Technique]

Winners side:
Gamerbee vs Go1
Sako vs Nishikin

Tokido and Momochi , world travelers, both interestingly opted not to play a premiere in their home country.

 

[JayEH]

Tokido and Momochi , world travelers, both interestingly opted not to play a premiere in their home country.

they already won premiers and apparently there's no money at this event.

 

[pixelish]

three americans left in the tournament: julio, chris t and ranmasama

all 3 of them in losers

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Chris T lost to Gachikun. He's out.

 

[Immortal Technique]

Julio eliminated by Inco

Haitani eliminated by BegetaminB

 

[Kayo Police]

I know this was been said before but the commentators are awful are there really no better options.

 

[pixelish]

what happened to haitani? his placings have deteriorated since evo.

 

[BadWolf]

I know this was been said before but the commentators are awful are there really no better options.

Mike will be back for top 8 iirc.

 

[KidA Seven]

what happened to haitani? his placings have deteriorated since evo.

Since right before EVO. Think he did badly at the Chinese premier the week before.

 

[Rice-Eater]

I know people go back and forth on which commentators they dislike most but Cameraman is the worst. Dude is so oblivious

I usually don't want to get into things like this and just respect these guys for the effort their putting in. But yeah Cameraman by far is my least favorite commentator of all the regulars for CPT events. He has no charisma and has very weak chemistry with whoever he's with. As a play by play guy I would say he's below average at best.

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I appreciate his efforts in traveling around Asia to provide English commentary for CPT Asia events. And at least he did get Mike with the OPP joke which I thought was quite good and probably the only time he's ever made me chuckle.

they already won premiers and apparently there's no money at this event.

Basically this, no reason to cock block their country men when their literally is nothing to gain. Well their is, but those points aren't that important. And I believe the same thing happened last year as well. Several top Japanese players opted not to enter TGS last year because they were already qualified and their was no money to earn for winning/placing high enough.
