World Game Cup 2011, Cannes - France

[kurama_tengu]

@Dark Geese : That's great news!

According to the official website, the visa is not a problem for Mexican residents, but still a bit of a hassle. I'll go ahead & try to get an hotel reservation receipt/Proof of accommodation to send him as soon as possible.

The insurance contract is standard fare with some credit cards, as far I as I know.

[Mr.KOF]

@Mr.KOF: It seems like you're gonna get your wish. TKO (our Arcade steward) is pretty psyched about an Arcade 98 UM tourney, a high roller one.

I hope you could get in touch with Frionel (I didn't think about the forum registration factor: sleep deprivation...). Anyway, I added his MSN address (just in case...).

@All of you guys: The French KOF-heads are so hyped, the air is buzzing with electricity...
(Insert charge joke here)

I am sorry  to announce that i will not be participating in this event. I was completely overwhelmed when people heard of my interest in participating in this event. Sadly and realistically it all comes down to the prize money. If the possible payout was as great as EVO or SBO i would definitely partake in this event. I'm happy that Europe is strong in the KOF scene...but i'm just waiting for the big Event where we can play all the KOF years and win substantial money. Even if i were to go and to break EVEN would be worth the trip ALONE but that's just not the case right now. As an Adult we all have LIFE and REALITY to deal with. I truly do hope within the year 2011 we can get the ball rolling for the U.S. or for any tournament to hold with BIG money on the line! I swear to god i will quit KOF competitively  if the ball does not roll by 2011! To all the people who do believe in my skills and capabilities...THANK YOU!  Let this quote  stick in your  mind "You're Not the Better Player if you don't have the people on your side to back it up".

Sucks to see another great KOF fellow go like this, but it's the reality we KOF players face in the US. John wait til EVO, KOF XIII doesn't make the official line up then I agree with your decision, since KOF XIII is proly the only KOF that will ever have a chance to make the official lineup.
