Armada and Lucky Donation Drive with Incentives! $3755 received,

[Redact]

Updated with dean's donation from this sunday and also to remind people that more money is needed to fund a 2nd player

IMO we should try very hard to get Mango out here. No goat dittos at EVO left me very sad, imagine if we got to watch the two best players of all time play a set in person...

 

[Hughie]

Mango was here 2012 I believe? But yeah, it'll be great if we could manage to get him down.

 

[Meredy]

Honestly, I'd prefer to see Armada and one of our top players in grand finals. Seeing a Mango v Armada set in person would be great and all, but I'd like some Aussie hype in GFs.

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

after the evo flop I think we need to get mango down here.

 

[woodsta]

@ Meredy - it'd just be a complete stomping, I'd way rather see a close set. Mango and Armada are playing the highest level melee ever

 

[smopup]

+1 to the Mango suggestion.

 

[PrettyCoolGuy]

#mangonation
Seeing mang0 play armada first hand would be soooo gooood

 

[Redact]

Armada himself said he would want mango here most for one more set

 

[Mytus]

+1 Mang0.

 

[Dekar289]

pal fox, ofc he would

 

[PrettyCoolGuy]

inb4 our peach meta inspires mang0 and we get to watch peach dittos

 

[Redact]

inb4 our peach meta inspires mang0 and we get to watch peach dittos

Hopefully its not like m2k playing puff against australia in 2010

 

[Hughie]

By the looks of it if we get Armada and Mango here it'll be the last time they'll play for a while. Also imagine the stream view numbers! It would be amazing exposure for the Australian scene because right now we're fairly unknown to the rest of the world.

 

[TakFR]

I'd be keen to get Hbox over now actually, it would be amazing to watch a rematch between them in person after Evo. Plus he seems like such a great guy

 

[Redact]

Chillin confirmed cant come

Still trying to get in touch with more including goat

 

[kelots]

austealian peach meta? You're all peaches? im doomed!

Well. More doomed.

 

[Armada]

This is gonna be so much fun!
Looking forward to see you all in person, and also a huge thanks for everyone that supported me coming down to Australia.

I hope my overall preformence this summer hyped this up a bit more!

Armada will be knocked out by Dekar, where he will be finished off by Mango, who falls to losers at the hands of Redact..

I'll bet $20 against this.

Thats after I also beat both m2k and ken at the same time

 

[Basty]

Thats after you beat all of america in a crew battle

 

[S.D]

So are we just putting Armada in the bracket and destroying all hype or having him do like 5 exhibitions against our top 5 at some point?

 

[Dekar289]

armada is the hype

 

[Splice]

While it's important for all our top players to get some games against each other to see where they're at, I don't think decisive rankings or anything are that important.
Is Armada really going to ruin the bracket for you that much? If you can't run through everyone in losers bracket that's too bad.
I feel my pride shattered that my country feels too scrub to even let the players we sponsor here enter the actual tournament.
There's nothing wrong with being worse than Armada but not having him in the bracket makes the statement "we're unworthy"

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

Armada will combo Aus into oblivion and single handedly create **** x3

 

[Redact]

remember that 30 minute combo video for armada.

He will have enough footage to make the 60 minute sequel from bracket matches alone

 

[Basty]

As a guy who is coming to this tournament for his first, Armada stomping through bracket doesn't bother me, sure he is definite to win, but come on guys, when I came to the competitive community, I heard things like, tournaments aren't supposed to be about you being angry because you got beat badly from a better player, its about you learning from that experience and learning what you did wrong. If armada beats me 2-0, I don't care, this is going to be a big learning lesson for the Australian community to show that, we aren't the best, but if we improve we might one day get to that level of play.

 

[Bu$]

Personally I would love to see the top players from each state all being in top 8 having close hype matches, rather than armarda stomping the pleb who's on his side in winners.

I may be wrong but this is the first tournament in a while we will be having most of Australia's best players all in the one place.

I feel like that if armarda is in the bracket we will miss out on some good aus melee sets. A 3- 0 in grand finals isn't too appealing either.

 

[J-Birds]

Just make losers finals 2 sets for the person not coming from winners side to avoid what happened at Robocop feeling as if there was no real grand finals between aussies.

eeehhh nevermind that kind of just supports whoever came from the non armada side

Well thats what we have exhibitions for, multiple of the best matches we want to see all for the price of nothing really.
But with me coming all the hype matches aren't that far away

 

[woodsta]

What if there was just a top-5-from-each-state round robin in addition to the normal tourny

This... THIS. But some states might not have enough so it might not work

Agreed, we will be lucky to get this many top aus players at one tournament again!

Syke Spup Ted Dekar SD Redact
Round robin with those guys alone would be interesting

Cao too if he's coming and ofc many more viable candidates, might be a bit dumb to make it too big tho

 

[Dekar289]

how about a round robin with the following players
- bus
- codie

No Splice in this round robin?

No Splice in this round robin?

I'm not interested in seeing who I'm better than unless the answer is "all of you"
