Nutrient

EGL 6, 7 and 8 have been announced. The next event in the UK with fighting games is EGL 8, in Manchester. For the date is just been put out there so people know what is coming up. In the meantime, it's time for me to get busy behind the scenes.

Original thread

EGL 8, Manchester
Play Expo

Saturday:

UMVC3 Solo (bo5 all the way)
UMVC3 3v3 (straight DE bracket no groups)
UMVC3 North vs South exhibition (10v10?)
TTT2 solo

Sunday:

SSF4 Solo
SSF4 2v2 (straight DE bracket no groups)
KOFXIII Solo

Solo tournaments will be £10 per player, Team tournaments will be £5 per player. All tournaments will be on XBOX360. The TTT2 tournament will hopefully have some PS3s as well, I will confirm this in due course. If you are a PS3 player, I highly recommend purchasing a PS2 pad on eBay and buying one of these converters: http://bit.ly/NdfMn1

Regarding the North vs South exhibition for Marvel, the exact format (how many players on each team for example) is to be decided. We'll have to see how many people are coming up from South to agree numbers. There will be a team captain for both teams; the team captain for the North is Kaworu. We will discuss a team captain for the South at WSO this coming Tuesday.

P4U will be playable at the event.

I know a few people wanted Third Strike: We have copies so I can make it available to play, however there will not be an official tournament for it. If someone wants to run an unofficial tournament, give me a shout.

I will post times and posters probably this weekend; also there is the possibility of more/special tournaments taking place, so keep an eye on this thread.

Will put up Flight prices this week

Gyaaah, I won't be able to make it. 4th year at uni is picking up, and I'll need to give my full-time focus then. That means no time for trips or training.

Say hi to everyone in the UK for me, guys!
