Chopper - onion says that you should be able to book tickets to cork? Have you put in heuston to cork? Weird if it won't let ya. We're on some wifi at the motorway services so can't check at the mo.

Train tickets are booked. We're getting the 08:00 train from Heuston.

Getting the 20:30 train home, so people better be up for food/drink after the tournie.

The website was explicitly telling me that tickets could not be reserved, then it sorted itself about fifteen minutes later.

Here's a handy link for anyone driving to this tomorrow. The venue is on the corner of Paul Street and French Chruch Street - just south of the No.1 car park.

Powering Through!

Sairus

1st: D4rk Onion
2nd: Sairus

I've finally been dethroned!

WasterEx

Had fun today, dissapointed with my own performance but sure what can ye do:pac:. GGs everyone. Cheers for hosting Sai

Chris IWS

No disrespect to anybody I played, but I seriously don't remember ever playing so badly in my life! So many dropped combos, I even dropped headbutt>Ultra I don't know how many times.

Anyway, GGs to all, had a good time. Here's to the next one.

Misty Chaos

GGs to all today. Didn't do too well but then again, it was my first tournament where I used stick so I was kind of expecting it.

Roll on the next Tempest!

Can I just say that driving from Dublin to Cork is like, the most boring journey EVER? Seriously painful. Though the eh... wonderful singing along to Avril Lavigne by a few unnamed FGers certainly brightened up the journey home

I loved the venue, pity it won't be there anymore. That could just be because the food was amazing though. Nom nom nom

Not my best move

Good stuff today lads, I was just way too tired for hype. Makoto tournament win was gdlk though.

D4RK ONION

GGs to everyone, Sairus in particular, we had two pretty intense battles. Low tier won it out in the end though.

First 1st place ever \o/

All going well we'll be moving to a much cheaper venue this month.
Cheaper venue means more bigger prize money!

Sabre0001

Sorry I couldn't make it down lads.

Congrats to D4RK ONION. Would like to think it's all that Glacial League training (yes, I know he moved to Dublin aaaages ago but still )

chopperbyrne

Best drive home ever!

Good stuff on running the tournament Sairus and hopefully the new venue goes well.

Chris IWS

Just got around to getting this up.

I have some more vids to put up, but thanks to the usual Irish isp upload speeds, I'm gonna ask for your patience while I get them up.
I do need some help with the names of the people I played in the knockout stages. (Cody and Bison players)

Thanks.

Orim

Cody is Shokashi.

One of the Bisons was Seanalot, I think you played him first in brackets.
Dunno the other. I'm sure Sai can fill in the blanks.

Yeah, I played Seanalot in pools, but my brother didn't record any of the pools games, sorry guys.

WasterEx

Other bison player name is 'SilverSteez'

Seanalot got into brackets and I think you played him there. Unless there was 3 Bisons in brackets. God Azza will explode.

Thanks WasterEx. I know he was mad at how our game ended.

Nah, I was in the same pool as Seanalot, and I'm pretty positive I didn't play him twice.

Silver Steeez

Yeah that bison player was me , my user name here is my gamertag. Haha i wouldn't say mad , disappointed maybe was expecting bison to stand up i thought i got a hit in he'd had enough i guess .That game will be fun to watch if u can upload it some time. gg's to everyone i played had some close ones , something about sf where nearly every game ends up in the last round of the last match !
