Evo Qualifier Tournament - June 18th, 2011 A.D. - The Exchange Temple Bar

Misty Chaos

Thanks to AJ and everyone else who helped put this together for organising such a good tournement, it was super hype, especailly the finals. To all the lads who got footage of me sleeping.... thanks. :pac:

Beers was good as well though lets just say..... I got mistified.

That Misty vlog better be shown unedited.

Sounds like a good day

Cant wait for the misty log. Get hype!

the whole day was great, event ran really well, happy enough with my play given how little I played since I came back and got talking to all the faces I haven't seen since I went to be a communist for a year.

also red man three hundred and fifty owes me half a pitcher!!

Doyler01

Best tournament. Thanks to AJ and friends for putting this together.

GGs to everyone I played. Drinks after were good craic too.

Doyler01

ah lads..


Why am I stevo again?

Owwmykneecap

Despite playing some pretty bad street fighter (I say this after every tournament), yesterday was some good ****.

Great atmosphere, lots of new faces, most of the community supporting the hard ****ing efforts of others etc.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing we need to do to keep our scene growing.

Just kinda thinking out loud but IF we were to have more majors specifically for fighting games, the Park Hotel in Dundalk is roughly half-way between Belfast and Dublin and has a nice looking conference room... regular tounrey plus a huge North vs South team tournament, with a stream? Maybe one day.

Logic was not entering my thought process at the time!

Agreed. 4 hype tournaments in one day, good attendance, swimming in new people, we should all get our thinking hats on.

Indeed, would be awesome.

We shouldn't forget the shoe string nature of yesterday. The exchange have been exceptionally good to us from what I hear.

A-Trak

I had to get up at 8 and drive from Dublin to Athlone unbelievably hungover to meet the priest that's going to do our wedding.

The priest made a funny face at one point at one stage and said we would have to cover up tatoos in the church.

I thought WTF, I'm wearing long sleeves. Looked at my hand, EVO stamp.
Great day, I'm in bits.

TVSAdamwest

great day yesterday thanks to aj and everybody else who helped the day become what it was. Congrats to the big winners and I have to say no offence to stevo your a fantastic player but hound losing broke my heart

BigStupidGuy

Any chance of getting a Tekken, or Soulcalibur tournament at the next event also? To help the 3D fighter scene

chopperbyrne

Absolutely. Unfortunately nobody even asked about Tekken until a week before.

Red350

Great games to everyone I played yesterday, the only thing better than coming 9th is going out in groups!

Also really chuffed with winning the stick. I've already turned down an offer of a dual modded TE + €50, the look on bush's face at the next inferno is worth a hell of a lot more than that!

Sagat06

I've been mistified!

Grats to everyone who organised this, easily the best and best organised I've been to. Plenty of casuals no problems and no really long waits for tournament matches.

Mick Ross ftw

chopperbyrne

Personally, I don't think yesterday could have gone any better.

We had almost a perfect number of people for it to be a success, without being a safety (smell) issue.

The tournaments all ran well although it's a shame most of the BB crowd didn't show up, but Q-Con is what most of them having been looking forward to for a while, so can hardly blame them.

Although didn't get to see the final, I heard Onion was the well deserved winner. Obviously nobody knows he's weak to Psionic Blaster spam!

Delighted that the winner of SSFIV:AE can go and wants to go to Vegas, even if he is a drunken mess :P

Drinks after were great fun and long may this community continue.

Dreddybajs

Brilliant event, GGs to all I played.

Seriously impressed with the organisation, Ayjay pulled the whole event off perfectly. Cheers to him and everyone else involved in the organisational aspect of the event.

Well done everyone and thank you ayjay for organising it - fantastic day

Thanks for posting this up as quickly as you did, I was able to find out who won while on a 6 hour layover in (I think) South Carolina on my way back to Dublin.

Gutted I couldn't come, big props to AJ for organising the day, and having the kind of superhuman optimism required to get this pushed through at all, especially given the negativity surrounding the first one.

Gratz to SteveO, especially with a nerfed Honda.

Seriously lads this was brilliant, that ye ran something that size so smoothly was amazing. Was well worth the trip to Dublin, hopefully we might start to make the it up from Cork a bit more regularly after this. Thanks to everyone involved in the running of it especially AJ. Congrats to all the winners especially stev0, best of luck at evo. Can't believe I fell asleep in the pub, good thing no one had a camera or anything:rolleyes:

There we go...ha ha ha...at least no one took a marker to me. Probably the best bit of sleep I got all weekend was woken up in the hostel on sunday morning by some woman vacuuming the room...not a good way to kick off a hangover

Burning Eclipse
