Just a heads-up, the thread for next week might be a little late, and/or it might be a "post now, edit later" job. I'm really sorry guys, schedule is a bit hectic right now (that, and I poorly manage time), I haven't been able to do as much with the weekly threads as I've wanted.

Also trying to improve my actual research, there are still events here and there that fall through the cracks. Granted, I (or someone else) usually at least know about them as soon as they start, but that kind of misses the purpose.

These threads are awesome. Thank you for making them.

Fanatiq just announced that he's accepting Joker's character lock terms for MAT on June 2nd. 5K money match.

*happy dance*

Hmmmm. Would need to see footage of joker before I take sides. Yipes seems to be hyping him up though. As for now Team Rayray!

You can see him use his main team in 1:42:40 onwards. Personally I never understood why people consider his Magneto to be incredible, it's really his Iron Man play that is outstanding. But even so I am not convinced he's good enough to be top 8 in any major, let alone beat Fanatiq in a money match. But yeah I guess he has enough advantages to take Fanatiq by surprise and potentially sneak in an upset.

Does this mean that EVO 2K12 has a player/attendee cap this year? I asked Ponder, but I'm not expecting him to answer or answer soon. So I was wondering if anybody knows whether that is true or not?

Probably talking about hotel rooms left at Caesars

Considering that there's a limit on the number of player/spectator badges and that he links to the player registration page in his tweet, I'd say yes, this is what he means.

Downey vs Berry is going down? yesssssssssssss

Once I'm done trolling with Movie Team, I'm going to see if I can hack Modok/Morrigan/Phoenix for real. Phoenix face-rolling is hilarious.

Crazy, the week after that he plays FRayFRay.

Working on thread for this week, it will be a bit bare-bones on the event details, and the weekly streams may be off. I'll work on it tomorrow.

Whatever the details are there is good enough. You work hard and it is much appreciated.

I will guess that they don't wanna break any laws by having a venue full beyond it's legal capacity.

Nope, inkblot or Ponder already said on SRK that the Caesar's block was already sold out, Good thing I already registered.

Looks like next year is going to be at the convention center.

It's not guaranteed, actually they already rebooked the same venue for the next 3 years I believe.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

If they're gonna sell out they should have held off on non-player registrations so all the players that want in can get in.

Time for an EVO part 2.

It's essential that EVO accommodates the growth next year to help facilitate the growth of the FGC. If Caesars won't cut it anymore, they have to take action starting next year. And unbook with Caesars or what have you.

Does Aquasilk stream on specific days? Last week was the first time I bothered watching him live for more than a few minutes and was pretty entertained, so just wondering.

No, I don't think so. Just whenever he feels like it. Just follow him le twittar and subscribe on Twitch so you can get notifications.

I agree but lets not assume it's that simple to book a venue for 2013.

Of course not, it would be difficult but that's exactly why they have to start planning ASAP to hammer out a date and place. I'm sure a hundred other places are booked years in advance too, so finding an empty weekend will be difficult as is.
