So what will the thread title be for next week? The Empire Strikes Back?

EMP|KingofSarus approves of this.

So what will the thread title be for next week? The Empire Strikes Back?

Considering Dieminion is there, the Empire Strikes Black

 

[Rice-Eater]

So what will the thread title be for next week? The Empire Strikes Back?

After what has transpired this week, it's the most fitting title.

Oh and I looked up the rest of the results and found out that Poongko won SFxT. I find that pretty surprising. Dieminion was looking really strong coming off his win at Winter Brawl and Poongko did not even look that great at the game at Capcom 25th tournament. I guess he must have stepped his shit up since then.

Gonna be hard to top this.

 

[Karsticles]

Considering Dieminion is there, the Empire Strikes Black

And the question was answered by the first person who spoke to it.

 

[Rice-Eater]

If it weren't for Empire news dominating the waves, I would have been totally down for "Oh my days".

 

[CrazyTank940]

Gonna be hard to top this.

Might as well make the damn thread now, no one can top it if they tried

 

[AnFox]

The Empire Returns to The Beach?

 

[jbug617]

Triforce dropped a hint on their next signing and it sounds like Yipes.

International known
Former EVO Champ
Starts with I

No way it's Infilitration so it has to be IFC Yipes.

 

[enzo_gt]

Triforce dropped a hint on their next signing and it sounds like Yipes.

What was the hint?

 

[Dahbomb]

Marvel minions in my DOTA 2 game.

 

[Judderman]

What was the hint?

TriForceGameMaster
‏@EMP_TriForce_GM
Just confirmed the signing of a player who is internationally recognized & former Evo champion. Hint, his gaming name starts with "I"

 

[Nabs]

Justin Wong ‏@JWonggg
IFC Yipes

TriForceGameMaster ‏@EMP_TriForce_GM
I said "International". No offense Yipes.

 

[Judderman]

Justin Wong ‏@JWonggg
IFC Yipes

TriForceGameMaster ‏@EMP_TriForce_GM
I said "International". No offense Yipes.

Yipes isn't internationally recognized? What?

 

[Dahbomb]

Infiltration?

 

[jbug617]

There is no way he got Infiltration right.

 

[Frantic]

Justin Wong ‏@JWonggg
IFC Yipes

TriForceGameMaster ‏@EMP_TriForce_GM
@JWonggg I said "International". No offense Yipes.

Does this mean Infiltration is infiltrating Da Beach?

 

[enzo_gt]

Guess I was right and it's Infiltration.

 

[phaonaut]

There is no way he got Infiltration right.

If he did, that would be crazy! lol

 

[Edgeward]

So it's IFC Yi-

Justin Wong ‏@JWonggg
IFC Yipes

TriForceGameMaster ‏@EMP_TriForce_GM
I said "International". No offense Yipes.

 

[Beats]

Didn't Infiltration win AE at EVO 2012? So, wouldn't that make him the current champion of that?

You should check the GF when they'll upload it on youtube, Poongko plays the game like he plays Seth, game seems to be made for him.

EMP Infiltration would be too crazy to handle.

 

[Dahbomb]

The only other 4 EVO champions starting with I are Issei (3rd Strike 2v2 winner), Ino (CVS2) Itazan (VF5) and Itabashi (VF4:E).

 

[Seasoned Badger]

The success or failure of VxG is going to bring delicious drama!! Either Triforce is going to shit all over the FGC for being stuck in poverty or the FGC shitting on Triforce being a bad business guy again.

 

[TheChits]

Triforce must seriously be doing some crazy stuff if he managed to get Infiltration

 

[Lost Fragment]

EMP Infiltration?

 

[Cloudius12]

The only other 3 EVO champions starting with I are Issei (3rd Strike 2v2 winner), Itazan (VF5) and Itabashi (VF4:E).

isn't itazan and itabashi the same person?

Did you just go through this too?

[Dahbomb]

I was just looking at the Wikipedia for EVO champions.

@JWonggg ok here is another hint then Mr. Batman, "His manager, makes me "Laugh". Damn, I'm trolling so hard! LOL

 

[KingofSarus]

Spoiler

I cannot wait to be teammates with fuckin' Infiltration!

 

[Dahbomb]

TriForceGameMaster ‏@EMP_TriForce_GM

ROFL no way it's Infiltration... holy shit

Megaton if true.

Yes

>Starts with I
So it's Yipes, right guys?

>International

 

[jbug617]

VxG money putting in the work.

 

[enzo_gt]

Perhaps slick words to keep it ambiguous.

Even if the other possibility is uhhh.. Ino.

EDIT: And the other two mentioned above I guess.

 

[Seasoned Badger]

If he got Infiltration...EMP is going to rub those barrels of salt they had to held when Jwonggg left into the wound of the FGC!!

 

[Edgeward]

With the Sega Cup for VF coming it could be Itabashi.

Follow the money

Assuming any of it is true

 

[Rice-Eater]

Dude, we really need more shocked face gifs if it turns out to be Infiltration. Seriously my mind would be blown. And it makes complete sense for both sides, it just still seems like such a bizarre connection though.

That's a good reason. but Fuudo or Chibita is going to win that

 

[Kadey]

Infiltration would be current EVO champ, not former. If it's Yipes, poor Koogy is going to have a heart attack.

 

[Skilotonn]

I'd love to know what kind of shady deals Triforce pulled to pull in the most winning-est tournament player of the last two years like that when he doesn't give the impression that he has the cash to do so. Infiltration doesn't even live in the US.

I'd have to see that to believe it.

One way to make everyone recognize your commitment is to get the #1 player in the world on board.

 

[Rice-Eater]

I don't think we should take Triforce literally. He probably meant "former" as in someone who has won a tournament at EVO. That's just my opinion anyways.

Dat VxGsports money bruh.

 

[MrDaravon]

Infilitration? Holy shit.

Will be interesting to see if this thing blows up in a year or not.

 

[CrazyTank940]

So when is Triforce gonna actually announce who's going to da beech next anyway?

 

[A Pretty Panda]

"Who the fuck is Triforce?- Infiltration after hearing this

 

[Karsticles]

I don't even get what EMP does for players besides take their winnings.
