Blazblue National 4on4 Team Tournament Qualifiers in the Tohoku and Tokai region at Taito Station Sendai and Port24 Sendai will be on 9/24, 18:00 JST.

A lot of players will compete, lot of Litchi in that area.

Will update with a stream link when it is available.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Tokido going to chile instead of EGX? Wut?

Maybe he was invited and taken care of and we just didn't know about it. Or maybe he's using this as a opportunity to qualify for the LA Regional Final.

 

[Sinatar]

Or maybe he's using this as a opportunity to qualify for the LA Regional Final.

He won CEO so he's already qualified for CapCup. You'd think he'd be going for that 15k pot bonus at EGX since he doesn't need points.

 

[Rice-Eater]

He won CEO so he's already qualified for CapCup. You'd think he'd be going for that 15k pot bonus at EGX since he doesn't need points.

I'm aware of that, but from the looks of it ever regional final has a 15k pot bonus just like a Premier tournament. If he wins the ranking event his biggest threats at the Regional Finals will be Justin and Chris T I guess. The comp at EGX isn't that strong though so he would have had a good chance at winning that had he gone. But maybe he already planned this far in advance.

 

[pixelish]

tokido was invited to the chile cpt event. and i think the Japanese players have made a gentlemen's agreement to not compete in a premier event if you've already qualified.

daigo would win everything if he didnt have to fight chun li, boxer, necalli, alex, karin and the mirror matchup.

LOL. Kbrad lost to JMiller? Dude's a Smash 4 player.

Here's the clip where Kbrad lost to JMiller.

Also, Kbrad drowned in pools.

[Malice215]

KBrad tried to sleepwalk his way out of pools but UK was having none of that.

Can't wait for top 32 tomorrow. The blow ups have been great so far.

Uh, but if you show SCR's crowd, it's going to be boring as heck.

Format:

Group letter: Winners, Losers

Group A: Zowie|Gamerbee, JoKeR JoKeZ
Group B: PRLS|Packz, HF UM|Gunsling
Group C: Ryan Hart, PRLS|Alfi
Group D: MD|Mister Crimson, ED|KNX
Group E: HF UM|ImStillDaDaddy, Kilmor

First time I think that all Redbull sponsored players actually made it though pools in a tournament? (Luffy, Bonchan, Snakeyes, Daigo).

 

[JayEH]

Snake Eyez in top 32 winners? wow

 

[JeTmAn81]

~~Daigo-Sama in winners~~

 

[Malice215]

Ultimate Chicken Horse is amazing.

We need them at events where the crowd actually gets hype, like everywhere outside of the west coast.

Top 32 bracket was created for EGX

Winners

Losers

http://egx.challonge.com/EGX_CPT_2016#

So far, no big complaints about EGX. I'm going to guess that they hold onto the UK Premiership next year for CPT.

 

[Sayad]

K-Bran not making it out pools in EU is becoming the norm.

 

[Malice215]

I want to see Daigo vs Nuki in top 8.

 

[Tripon]

I want to see Daigo vs Nuki in top 8.

On that note, phenom seems to have the easiest path to winners top 8. EU collusion? Kappa.

 

[Sayad]

Isn't he the best seeded player there?

 

[Sinatar]

Isn't he the best seeded player there?

Yup.

 

[Tripon]

Isn't he the best seeded player there?

Yup.

Gamerbee is seeded first.


Phenom is 12th according to those final brackets.

All CPT premier events are supposed to use CPT points to determine seeding.

 

[90TilInfinity]

Is that bracket right? RMZ lost to Will2pac in pools...

 

[Tripon]

Is that bracket right? RMZ lost to Will2pac in pools...

Hmm, yeah. That's an error. I have Will2Pac winning his pools and RMZ coming out in losers. I'm sure they will switch by tomorrow.

 

[KidA Seven]

Daigo has done well vs Luffy, but it's still Mika. Scared for my boy.

 

[Tripon]

Daigo has done well vs Luffy, but it's still Mika. Scared for my boy.

Just checked, they switched to have a straight 32 man bracket with nobody losers bracket. Uh... I really hope they didn't use the pools to determine seeding for winners and losers.

Damn, Nuki got exposed!

Will2Pac just 2-0 Nuki's Chun Li.

Like they said on stream, don't come in Europe not knowing the Laura matchup !
