KOF XIII 6th General Thread: Console Released edition

[Reiki.Kito]

We didn't get a slot this year?! That's so terribad.

SBO is ass anyway.  I still harbor a grudge for the shit that happened this year.  You can only imagine my utter elation when I saw that this might be the last year for SBO.

In much better news,(depending on you) KOF XIII confirmed for MLG, $16700 in prizes.

Oh god, here we go.  I'm hitting the deck.

[Reiki.Kito]

Was just about to post this. I am telling a whole lot of people I told you so.

[Saitsuofleaves]

Yeah, and now a question comes by, and this question goes a bit to you as well Reiki I guess.  MLG Winter Championships are in 3 weeks, same weekend as NCR.

What's going to take precedence for our top players who mostly reside in California?

[Reiki.Kito]

Really, I dunno. It's such short notice, nobody will likely go.

[Saitsuofleaves]

That's what I'm worried about.  This is such a huge chance, but the likelyhood people will go from WC is low.

On top of that, if KOF got renewed for June, the next tourney would be in Anaheim which would be PERFECT for you guys, but we need the numbers earlier.

I bet the east coast are popping in the game right now to go. Most people from West Coast can't head out to Final Round like most East Coast people can't make that trip to Vegas for EVO, but I wager people living on the East Coast are saying "8k is soundin' mighty fine to me!" and are already making plans.

[Saitsuofleaves]

I'm East Coast, and I'm wondering how I'm even making the trip, though honestly I probably won't be able to short of a miracle.

Shit is last minute, and a decent amount of top players probably already had plans for NCR, and now they'd have to turn that attention around immediately.

HYPE~

[The Light]

Yea this is really short notice would have been better if it was announced around the same time Mortal Kombat was so people can at least plan for it, but guess they didn't have contracts drawn up yet.

[Saitsuofleaves]

Yeah, it's not like I blame them for the announcement or anything it's just...this can be inconvenient.

[Reiki.Kito]

I posted it up on the events thing. If MLG comes up and wants to make a real professional one, that's awesome, but I just thought it'd be good to put up there.

Anyway, I honestly see this as an opportune chance for all those people who thought there was no worth in this game to suddenly start holding sessions.

2012 must be the end of the world, because I would've laughed at anyone telling me that KOF would make it into MLG.
