The download complete icon is going to get a lot of usage.

And bet on America in Marvel. Always.

 

[slightconfuse]

Download complete is really tempting

 

[Wallach]

Not going to be around Saturday, so I guess I'll be missing Marvel's conclusion. I can probably guess it just as well. Interested to see how AE teams plays out this time.

 

[QuikZilver]

Is the Kadey curse on team Japan official? I was hoping she would change.

 

[Masaki_]

I paid the 8.95 last year. Can't fool me twice. Should be a good tournament though, expecting more Korean domination.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

Is the Kadey curse on team Japan official? I was hoping she would change.

Kadey Curse should only count if she has money on the line imo. Gets kind of diluted otherwise.

 

[Kadey]

Actually it's been a bit of that and something worse.

Anyways. I still need player list for all teams. U.S vs World players and notable players so I'll need help filling that in.

If anybody wants me to add anything. Like Sasa hosting a baking contest or something, then let me know and I'll add it to misc.

And of course Team Japan will win.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Easy to find Kadey's thread titles on a page.

Excited for the weekend. Hope there's a ton of great matches.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

lol that Download icon

 

[sulik]

So all the finals are being held on Saturday? That team tournament must take forever.

 

[Professor Beef]

I'm coming into this expecting absolutely nothing in terms of stream quality thanks to last year's fiasco. Prove me wrong, Offcast.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Awesome OP. When's marvel?

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Besides this game being free for Chris G.

It's impossible to curse ChrisG! He got this.

 

[xCobalt]

Teams for the only game that matters: http://iplaywinner.com/news/2012/10/23/canada-cup-2012-current-world-team-tournament-status.html

Team USA 1 also has Kim1234 and Kbrad while Team USA 2 has fchamp. Alex Valle and Flashmetroid are also in attendance but not sure which team they may be on.

 

[GhostRidah]

So on the Marvel side, we've got ChrisG, Justin Wong, Filipino Champ, PR Rog, Noel Brown, Ricky Ortiz, and I guess Tokido, Mike Ross, and Flash Metroid if they enter. Not bad!

 

[Anth0ny]

Why doesn't Daigo come to North America anymore? Too Hollywood?

 

[Moaradin]

Last Major I saw was EVO. Can't wait.

 

[Professor Beef]

Why doesn't Daigo come to North America anymore? Too Hollywood?

Too Hollywood for Hollywood.

 

[Kellen]

Download complete icon is godlike.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

RIP Chris G

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Why doesn't Daigo come to North America anymore? Too Hollywood?

he's scuuurd

 

[ghostface pizzakid]

no e.live this year. Kinda shocking since they're the defending champs.

 

[scytheavatar]

Why doesn't Daigo come to North America anymore? Too Hollywood?

Too hollywood. Someone mentioned before that it costs a bomb to bring him over to the US, since he not only demands his plane ticket and lodging paid for he also demands an appearance fee to make sure he doesn't walk back home empty even if he gets bodied in the tourney.

 

[Kadey]

Some pre-streaming going on.

http://www.twitch.tv/canadacup

Marn on the mic?

 

[Tik-Tok]

Why doesn't Daigo come to North America anymore? Too Hollywood?

Cause 7000 is a lot of money.

 

[Kadey]

Ah. So they are streaming the qualifiers for Team Canada 2. Looks like both European teams aren't coming. Jozhear scares them that much.

Team USA #2 is

Ricky Ortiz
PR Balrog
F. Champ
Valle
Vangief

Aka Norcal + Uncle as they call it.

Cause 7000 is a lot of money.

No when Daigo ask for people to pay for his trip + buy products from him (shirts). Remember when L.I Joe had Daigo's manager on the phone? I'm assuming his manager couldn't cut a deal with Lap Chi in time or he has other arrangements.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Canada #2

Shinakuma204
Graeme
Whitegun
Raiden
Riceeta

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Looks like Marvel pools start at 11 AM, with AE pools at 5 PM.

 

[Shadow780]

Who's on for KOFXIII?

 

[Chauncy Talon]

We over at The Fighter's Alliance (TFA) will be represented well with Kim1234 this year. I believe he will destroy the competition. Plus, he's on Team America 1!

[Corky]

Sweet, let's stream it up

 

[WesternHeretic]

Why the only things ever 50% off are pads? $100 stick is not even special anymore. =(

Those are good discounts. It's the same as they had at EVO I believe.

 

[WesternHeretic]

I guess. It just around here Fry's have a few sticks always in stock and it's really not hard to get a stick for $100...

I mean they list the price at 149.99 but there always someone in the fgc, or has a brother, cousin, etc that work in fry's (the place is like 70% Asian) so TE for $100 is common here. And I mean really freaking common.

 

[MarkMan]

That's fine. If it's not special to you, doesn't mean it's not special to anyone else.

I edited it just for you <3

I would kill for a $100 TE in Australia. Well not kill, but would purchase another.

 

[Kadey]

Still need a vs stick so i'll ptobably get that.

So glad times are late. Won't get to watch until late night.

 

[scytheavatar]

Is it me, or is team USA 2 a good bit stronger than USA 1?

Lol wut?

What is exclusive chat? Is this like Evo? I was ok with donating to chat during evo plus 720p. Actually pulling the switch on poverty monsters was my favorite Evo moment but for Canada Cup?

Yep, Canada Cup decided to be even worse than last year. Like anyone even thought that was possible.

 

[BadWolf]

Its a good thing I hate chat and my computer is too crappy to stream HD I guess.

 

[Toge]

LOL Japan is going to sweep the 5v5.
