lol another last chance qualifier with a player who's already qualified. there must be some secret to this tactic.

Last chance qualifier is still basically a normal premier tournament.

there's no money or points on the line though right? you're just trying to get into the actual premier event (regional finals). there doesn't seem to be a reason to enter unless you want to be seeded differently maybe or you just want some more practice.

$3000 to first place for last chance qualifiers ($5000) total. $7000 for the actual tournament, ($15000).

Some of the same people that were wondering and complaining about not enough people were signing up for the NA finals are now complaining about internationals that might gatekeep and take their money.
 
Yeah, so there is definitely as much prize money to win in the last chance qualifier. It makes no sense to harp on internationals at the NA finals if players like Du, Justin, Julio, etc... are all gatekeeping too. The only difference is that the internationals have a chance at gatekeeping earlier. However, as there is money on the line I don't really like to call it gatekeeping.



The panel is about to start on redbull esports.

God damn, I think that welcome packet had more of a production budget than entire FG events that I've been involved with. -_-

That Welcome Packet has more production value than most of the tournaments I've seen this year. Too bad people don't read it.

So damned weird having an event with no Friday action

The action on Friday is for the people at the event, not for us watching from home.

The Osaka qualifier for Tekken should be starting at the top of the hour.

Sweet another action packed weekend.

Side note: can anyone direct me on where I can get info on who/how players qualify for capcom cup?

Wonder how many people who try out Daigo new plinking tech for SFV this weekend. Makes SFV ex moves way more powerful.

Heading down there in a few minutes to help set up and run stuff - Shouta should be there as well. Any other GAFfers making it out?

There are three channels streaming CPT NA Last chance qualifiers!


twitch.tv/redbullesports
twitch.tv/capcomfighters
twitch.tv/leveluplive

Multitwitch is not working here for some reason, are there other sites that do the same?

This setup is pretty sick. Only problem is pools aren't labeled in an easy to read manner, lol. It's up on the monitors with the brackets but you gotta look close to tell.
 
You take that back right now! Could this also be the return of Snake Eyez? He looked so good.

He looked shaky. I consider Tokido top 3 in the game, so when he's losing the first game like that against that kind of opponent I start to think maybe he's having an off day.
