Ronove Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Had lot of fun at this year's WGC so I'm definetely looking forward to be there again! As I said in the AEX forum, it'd be cool to have the World Team Cup for BlazBlue as well, but I guess it depends on whether north-american and japanese players are going to attend to this event or not...
Fidoskin Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) I will buy plane tickets in october! I hope for DLC release of extend version because release near new year means - russian post will not work to 10th of Jan and it means - GG :D I hope - i`ll can be good with Relius in 1-1.5 month :D @Ronove I`ll hope to see you again and talk more about stuff ^^ upd: And again, i`m looking for team ^^ Edited September 26, 2011 by Fidoskin
kurama_tengu Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 Topic updated! No trailer yet, but our friends & partners at eLive.pro just recorded a LIVE show about the KOF tourneys available at the WGC 2012, a wee thing promising the largest cash-prize pot EVER for a KOF tournament & a lot of (yet undisclosed, but heavily hinted) guest players: ENJOY! http://www.elive.pro/en/watch/M2ttKx6rdp8V
Gramas Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 As I said in the other topic I will skip this event :/ I will not able to play extend untill EU xbox release and this is the same for my local scene We were very very hyped for the event but now no one wants to fly in cannes to playing a game we never played before I realy want to meet the comunity and the french guys,maybe in the next stunfest :>
Ronove Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I was hoping to go this time as well but it looks like I'll be skipping this as I have to discuss my thesis around the days when there'll be the tournament... also as Gramas said most of the italian scene plays on 360 (though there are a couple of people who also play on PS3 at the Milan scene), given that extend isn't out in Europe yet it's hard to see people coming to compete in a game they still have to learn. For the same reason I think the Slovenian scene might be skipping this event as well. Don't know about the other scenes from the rest of europe though (Holland, UK, Russia, Austria etc). There are certainly more chances to go at Stunfest this year IF Extend will be out before the tournament with enough time for us to train for it.
