[March 23rd - 25th] Winter Championships @ Columbus, Ohio [MLG]

[sibarraz]

Yep, it will be really hard to see more numbers when the event was announced on so short time and also on the same day that NCR will be held, the only people who would have changed their schedule were the guys that known that stand a chance to win money.

Also, from the professor


Ogosho won't be going to MLG. He was supposed to be invited by them together with a number of other players from Europe, but they told them at the last minute that they never sent any invites like that. He's complaining about it on Twitter and I'm sure the others will follow. Right now, he's streaming while boozing and complaining about this whole incident.

Also, RF didn't get an invite to begin with, so he's not going. Tokido isn't planning to go either. To put it another way, MLG won't have any Japanese players.


Twitter comments from Ogosho:

"Regarding America, D44 was able to make contact with their guy in charge, but he was told that there wasn't anything like that to begin with."

"A number of players from Europe also fell victim to this incident, and they can't do anything about it. They(MLG) probably didn't mean any harm and it's hard to figure out where this all started to begin with. I wasn't sure if I could go there so I'm not angry, but I'm appalled at this whole situation."

[Reiki.Kito]

Removed all of the JP players. Gonna wait on removing the Chinese ones. This seems to be taking a turn for the worse.

[Dandy J]

Rogueyoshi says he's probably not coming. #esp0rtz

nvm hes coming!

[Killey]

Wow, extremely disappointed that this happened. The quality of the matches could have been absolutely insane with that international presence. I hope they do another MLG KoF event and these guys manage to come down somehow. If not then it's up to Evo to bring the hypest KoF tournament of all time.

[Saitsuofleaves]

Yeah, it's like I was saying.  That three week notice might've been too small to overcome.

[DM|Xian]

hi guys , sorry i didnt know where to post .. my friend skye (justius) from singapore is flying with me in about 5 hours time to MLG too
Do you mind adding his name in as well? thanks ..
he already registered in the website
see you guys soon !! ^_^

[Loona]

Hi guys, I'm a director for the MLG event for all the fighting games (production wise,) so any questions just ask me here. Or ask me on twitter @nycfurby. List of whos confirmed for the event would be nice guys thx! :P

It's been tricky to find some info on the PPV stuff (seems like something to consider if we want KoF to stick around and not be a one-shot thing), but I take it this is the URL for that: https://secure.justin.tv/mlg_arena/subscribe/123/signup ?

There wouldn't happen to be a way to narrow it down to just the KoF schedules, would there?...

[jaguar]

i'm pre-regged for mlg and need a place to crash.

[Sabin]

Yea, I thought there was gonna be a decent amount of activity on here re: whos going and maybe some front page stuff, but I guess not. I have to find out whos going by doin detective work and asking other players. Xian shhould be in attendance tho, pretty sick.

Remember guys if you don't speak up, I can't help you if you're coming to this event

You can sign up at the Venue, right?

Yea, pretty sure it's not going to reach the 128 person cap. You can sign up at the venue.
This goes for the places with states that cannot register due to gambling laws (AZ for instance.)
And yea, if you were to enter all 3 it is $100 not 180, lol.

I didn't expect people to go crazy over MLG since Final Round ended so recently. And I just got hired by them so I have to pick up where they left off.

[sibarraz]

Good Luck then Art, I hope that the numbers for KOF don't discourage the organization

[Ryujin]

Yeah, best of luck Art with getting attention for the event. The numbers are small but the level of play should be a real treat for anyone watching and a fan of the game.

Got a spectator pass last week, so look forward to seeing the matches unfold and perhaps some people from here.

[jaguar]

can anyone house me, hav, and skisonic? we are leaving tonight

[Yasakani]

Damn. How the fuck did KOF XIII got into MLG?

Shit just got real...

Good Luck, Mr. KOF and Duc.

[Kane317]

Lyvar?  Wow, welcome to Dream Cancel old friend, CMD_Duc and my old sparring partner from 10 years ago has finally registered.  Hit me up and let's get some games in.

Also, when you get a chance introduce yourself here.

[Ky0]

Can't wait.
