crowd is DEAD

 

[kitzkozan]

Yeah, I would be very surprised if this wasn't split. Top 3 finalists are all buddy-buddy. Arturo calling them Justinandfriends

In a sense, this is sad because I'm pretty sure Wong and Floe couldn't give a shit about MK. Just there for the money and there's just no way the MK regulars could beat them on a consistent basis.

Also quite sure they are going to do some splitting of the pot.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

I don't think any of these guys make enough money that they'd be willing to split a pot this size.

 

[Kikujiro]

16 were really good, now it seems more like casual play with friends (I guess it's because it's always Justin vs Floe). And there's no hype at all for a grand final.

 

[DjangoReinhardt]

Man, the crowd is really into this final.

 

[Slamtastic]

It's so annoying reading people bitching about lack of "hype".

Wahh, intelligent informative commentary that can explain what's occurring to people instead of constant yelling and memes, and a crowd that's intently watching the game on the edge of their seats.

You don't watch enough streams.

So anti hype

 

[Ronabo]

yawn...

 

[darkressurection]

Least hype Grand Finals ever, look at the crowd.

 

[Grecco]

skizonik really is awful.

 

[Kusagari]

LOL at Ski trying to force the hype at the end.

 

[DjangoReinhardt]

I don't think any of these guys make enough money that they'd be willing to split a pot this size.

That's exactly why people do split.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Ski hype seemed forced.

The crowd was dead bro.

 

[Conceited]

Was fun up until after Joe beat PL, after that it was dead.

 

[SapientWolf]

Man, the crowd is really into this final.

Not enough alcohol.

I don't think Justin was kidding when he was cheerleeding for a WWE All Stars tournament. If there is money to be had from winning a tournament he'll gladly take it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

MK9: Kung Lao edition?

Mortal Kung Lao

 

[Grecco]

Ski hype seemed forced.

I mentioned it before. Hes trying to hard, and just makes it terrible.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

You don't watch enough streams.

So anti hype

I still don't see why JWong would want to split a pot with anyone if he can take it all himself---same thing with LI Joe and Floe.

I can see it if the pot is small enough that it doesn't matter---but I doubt any of these guys are willing to part with 5k just because they're friends.

I think

Salty

Legend + broken stick killed the atmosphere. Before that it was so hype.

 

[gnomed]

Netherealms guy getting blown up

Oh my god, why are you so mad?

It's so annoying you're always here telling people to not criticize anything Mortal Kombat related. We get it, you love the game, but there's no need to be so defensive about it.

 

[enzo_gt]

Least hype Grand Finals ever, look at the crowd.

Yeah. The entire top 8 had too many lame moments dispersed throughout to be hype TBH. MK isn't the most hype game to watch really.

MK netcode FULLY on blast.

 

[malfcn]

LOL on netkode blast.

And throwing his co-worker under the bus.

 

[Xevren]

Glad to hear that about the netcode, it's easily the worst fighter online. Fix that shit!

 

[Slamtastic]

Next patch = "Dramatically better"

We'll see.

 

[enzo_gt]

MK9 dude reassuring fans next patch will improve netkode dramatically.

Props to NRS for even going as far as doing this. In full support of the community.

 

[Khezu]

It really is bad, I tried to play smash brothers brawl a few months ago, and that game had better online then MK.
Though, there is something really weird about the smash online community, out of the ten games I did, no one wanted to fight, they all just stood there taunting, until I hit one of them and they all ganged up on me, twas really weird.

Even worse than SNK's offerings? If so, wow.

 

[Sinatar]

Promising. He dropped "Dramatic", big words.

Maybe short term, but what about long term? They're long time friends, splitting a couple isn't that much. And it eventually comes back, Justin carries Tokido in Marvel. Tokido and Ricky win SSF4 teams while Wong was busy with work at PAX.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Who is this guy on the mike?

 

[Slamtastic]

Shoutouts to random guy getting stream time.

 

[Grecco]

Skizonik on the finals "it was all right"


And yet he was screaming with his fake hype. Lol

Theres also no way to tell if it was split evenly 3 ways, once Justin won Winners finals they could have decided to give him a larger portion, since there was pretty much no way Joe or Floe was gonna beat him 2 sets in GF.

 

[unpurposed]

Are the finals over? I just see some guys talking on the stream.

 

[malfcn]

It is Evil Marn.

 

[Conceited]

How fitting that they're sitting together on stage now, haha

 

[sixteen-bit]

Did Marn place too?

 

[enzo_gt]

Tom Brady on now, time to mute shoutouts for a half hour.

 

[darkressurection]

Tom Brady shoutouts incoming?

Sounds like it was a great tournament and a great experience.

 

[sleepykyo]

Good point. Also, does it matter in this case? It was a decent GF.

edit: Tom Brady with the revisionist history.

GREAT TOURNAMENT, GREAT EXPERIENCE

He would want to split the pot if he thinks there is a good chance that he will lose and he wants guaranteed 7,5k instead of gambling with the 5k that winner of finals gets.

 

[enzo_gt]

GREAT TOURNAMENT, GREAT EXPERIENCE

Oh my god I hate when he says this. :lol

PerfectLegend about to tell Wong that he had the best Kung Lao of all time.

 

[malfcn]

Did PL talk shit when they gave him the check?

 

[sixteen-bit]

lol at this guy blocking the screen

 

[enzo_gt]

Ed Boon autographed MK9 stick is the real awesome prize for top 8.

KUNG LAO IS BANNED IN THE NEXT TOURNAMENT

 

[darkressurection]

Lol at "That's cool I guess"

In response to getting a Ed Boon signed stick.

 

[Dark Stalkers]

Liu Kang wins!
