EdgeKun Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Tournament is go! Location: Epic Gaming Address: 17185 SE McLoughlin Boulevard, Milwaukie, OR 97267 Date: April 21st, 2012 (2:00 PM) Cost: $5 venue fee. $10 entry per tournament. Prize: 70% / 20% / 10% of prize pot for 1st / 2nd / 3rd. After gauging interest, it looks like we'll be able to pull off the tournament! The main event will be a BlazBlue tournament in hopes of reviving a local scene of sorts! The tournament will be a standard double elimination, best 2 out of 3 matches per matchup. (Standard setup, at least for the events I've been to) Something definitely worth noting is that most (if not all) BB players there are also fans of GG, so a GG side tournament is definitely likely to happen. (Hell, we could even make a pot for that as well if we so wished. :3 ) I'm going to talk with Hellsap a bit more about some specifics, but figured I'd update the original post so people can plan on the date. I'll add more info as it's decided, and am personally looking forward to an awesome event! In the meantime, please update this sheet accordingly if you're interested in attending. This way we can have an idea of who all is showing up. Much thanks all! Note - It was brought to my attention that Best Bout is also trying to gauge interest in Portland BB/G.Gear player base. I feel it might be wise to coordinate here, as more events in the Portland area means everyone wins! :D Edited March 23, 2012 by EdgeKun Keeping scene revival talk to the match finder area, tourney talk here.
huey253 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 i'll show up if an event happens as long as i have 3+ weeks of advance notice.
Kuuhaku Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 If it's on a weekend, I don't mind carpooling down with people. Just can't on Sundays because I have work.
Osuna Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I no longer have any vietnamese people left to hitch rides with, but I'll still get there somehow. I know one or two people in the area that also have an interest but don't keep up with dustloop.
Tae Seong Kim Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Idk. For me it will have to be for a later time. I used up all of my day off requests for Spring.
EdgeKun Posted March 11, 2012 Author Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Deleted my old-last-post so that I could bump without double-posting. I've talked with peeps at Epic, and we've settled on April 21st. I still have a couple details to iron out with Hellsap but I think we're pretty much set here. Just another reminder, if you have interest in attending and think you may show, please update this doc accordingly! It'd be great to know how everyone feels on the current details while we still have time to potentially change them. :D Edited March 11, 2012 by EdgeKun
R_Panda Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 I'll be attending if I can get a ride. I guess I might buy BB if people keep playing it at Hellsap's.
EdgeKun Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 Getting more info ironed out. The current plan is to formally start the tournament @ 2PM (allowing out of town peeps a bit more leeway on travel time), with casual play both before and after the tournaments. The setup will be available until Epic closes @ 10PM. I honestly can't imagine the two tournaments plus casuals taking longer than 8x hours, but if anyone thinks more time is really necessary than let me know and I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, still looking to drum up interest and have a great turn out! Tell your friends! For the sake of additional planning and spreading the word, I'll also be creating an event on facebook. Will update the OP with the link once it's ready!
EdgeKun Posted April 27, 2012 Author Posted April 27, 2012 Ack, been busy with workload so I never did come by and reply in here. ;_; Just wanted to thank everyone once again for coming by and participating in the tournaments! I personally had a lot of fun, and took home a few things on how to improve my game. I think the PDX BB/GG crew is more than willing to head up to Washington for more meets and events, so we'll see about getting that going. :D Aside from that Epic seemed to be great on space, so we'll see about hosting future events there. Hopefully next time we can get more locals to show. -.-
