Doomshine · Apr 10, 2012

Jesus, I just realized that this is going to be 4am for me :/

Anyway...

NoFaceKiller said he's going to play Cervantes because he thinks his Nightmare won't be able to compete with Keev or OmegaDR. He told Namco that they should put Cervantes as his main, but they still put Ivy lol.

I'm curious if Hyrul is still going to play Tira post patch and I want to see what the Japanese players can do, especially the Zwei player.

Flying Wonkey · Apr 10, 2012

Straight at noon for me, guess I'll make some time for it.

Looking forward to the Zeeway and Cervantes play!

Rice-Eater · Apr 10, 2012

How is the money going to be split? How much does the winner get? I figure it should be at least 5k.

Doomshine · Apr 10, 2012

Apparently Aris was asked to not attend: https://twitter.com/#!/AvoidThePuddle/status/189488339622170624

I think that's the first I've heard of him being told to not go to an event.

Here's some nice Zwei play in a French tournament and good matches in general. Keev and Kayane are also in the tournament as well as badass Astaroth player Saitoh: http://www.twitch.tv/gnouzcorp/b/314337100

Zwei starts at 20:30

Conceited · Apr 10, 2012

I don't really care that much about SCV, but I'll probably watch regardless.

Think I just heard Spooky say 10k.

Flying Wonkey · Apr 11, 2012

Oh sweet, tunin' in. Daishi seems to have a solid Viola here.

He was doing some pretty difficult Algol combos earlier.

sixteen-bit · Apr 11, 2012

So no Kayane right?

correct

Venfayth · Apr 11, 2012

I'm so confused. Should I be safe or should I be crazy?

7k for first i believe.

Fersis · Apr 11, 2012

Is it true that everyone is free to Keev ?

AAK · Apr 11, 2012

Damn, this is pretty laggy for me

This never lagged like this for twitch.tv

emb · Apr 11, 2012

Cool. That's neat. Why is this on a Tuesday though?

It usually lags for a little when you first tune in.

scosher · Apr 11, 2012

Gotta root for NoFace

Arzehn · Apr 11, 2012

I guess we find out tonight.

Rice-Eater · Apr 11, 2012

I like taking number 2's, so I'm rooting for Toilet.

Lulubop · Apr 11, 2012

Loving the hype.

Omnicent · Apr 11, 2012

looking mighty free

Edgeward · Apr 11, 2012

Holy shit, this JP Zwei player

Flying Wonkey · Apr 11, 2012

Toilet is just getting in that ass. <3

Rice-Eater · Apr 11, 2012

The prospect of this tourney having players from all over the world is actually making me enjoy this lol.

Usually it's the other way around...

AAK · Apr 11, 2012

Is my internet just that crap or is this basically unwatchable even at 240p?

with that perfect it was

d0c_zaius · Apr 11, 2012

I like hype and all but theres no reason to overhype every single thing. the OOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH gets old after 2 mins.

ETR is mad annoying in the crowd as usual.

scosher · Apr 11, 2012

That was a crazy final round.

Edgeward · Apr 11, 2012

Buttery smooth for me on best settings.

Flying Wonkey · Apr 11, 2012

Toilet.

AAK said:

Yeah it's a bit stuttery on my end but still somewhat watch-able.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of getting extremely loud over every little thing. Which is why I dislike Juicebox's commentary, although I noticed that a lot of people do like it though.

Arzehn · Apr 11, 2012

I don't even play this game but it's hype, this crowd is amazing, lol.

Chavelo · Apr 11, 2012

/sips coffee cup

Waiting for some Boshy. I do agree that the hype looks a bit fabricated, but these finals with 8wayrun on the side is a mighty fine streaming session for a Tuesday nigh-

well Juicebox seems genuine (bordering on a little insane), but this is coming off pretty forced.

I guess its worth noting that these guys rode 4 hours on a bus to this event so they are going to be like this.

I'm not talking about Filthy Rich though, as hes always hype like this when commentating and its awesome.

Wiz · Apr 11, 2012

Don't think I can make it through the whole tourney as I'm on the East Coast but I'll watch as much as I can.

Flying Wonkey · Apr 11, 2012

Brilliant GI into gun shot there.

LiK · Apr 11, 2012

audio working for anyone else?

edit: nm, refreshed and working

That's Cerv's auto GI.

I changed my comment to make a bit more sense. Juicebox's hyperactive commentary in which he always seems excited about everything happening in a KOF matches comes off as annoying and fake even if it's not. Whatever it is, I'm not a fan of it. But to each his own, I know a lot of you guys dig it.

Xav · Apr 11, 2012

Great crowd, hype tournament. I recommend everyone check it out. Good stuff.

sleepykyo · Apr 11, 2012

Ezio? Really?

Flying Wonkey · Apr 11, 2012

Trailer huh...

Neodiablo22 · Apr 11, 2012

They see us....

LiK · Apr 11, 2012

GAF shoutout

sleepykyo · Apr 11, 2012

That's not Ezio.

edit: Keev looks unstoppable.

Rice-Eater · Apr 11, 2012

Did I just overhear Filthy saying Omega DR was from South America?
