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!

Doyler said he'll have to save money up for next time there's an overseas tourney. And since flight prices/getting time off work wouldn't be easy, I think I'll have to make the same call this time. :L Sorry.

I suggested we ought to go to Cannes and hope they've got a 3-man tourney for Marvel. As for EGL, I'll be with you in spirit. Go raise some hell dude

It's cool don't sweat it
May not be attending Cannes next year

RSD seems like the decent tourney in December

chunkis

just a quick check to make sure everybody is organised, i hope you guys have passports, tickets, ect. If your only bringing hand luggage make sure you don`t take anything that you can`t like liquids that are over 100ml ect. Try not to get to the airport too late, friday evening sometimes can be very busy, not just in the airport but outside it too, the last time we went to scotland it was a bit of a rush to the gate, so those of you who are going try toget there early.

Anyway Ill be in the airport about 8pm, safe journey

Lythero

Good luck folks, in journey and in battle!

Fergus_

Ye, win or something.

indeed, good luck lads and be safe

Jun_DP101

Our room is too sick

Good luck lads.

Everyone, Nutrient is competing in Marvel as we speak. Lend him your power so he can make it to the finals! \o/

Commentators on stream just said "Deadpool players arent serious players/shouldn't be taken seriously".......

These commentator fellows sound like a knowledgeable bunch. I approve of their character breakdowns.

Gah, the audio for me is lagging waaaay far behind the video. It's making it hard to enjoy the tournament.
