Aho, are you and all the d.c. area people gonna come? that'd be hot cuz wuwu is gonna be there and he misses you all :D

~Zec

Just plairnkk is going from the DC area I think :/

I saw wuwu did pretty well at a tournament semi recently. I hope he's still using support fire, ****s too good.

Egl is being shady recently. I think i'm going to skip out on this, as well as anything else they wanted to do.

To everyone else, just beware. I wouldn't really suggest going anymore, they're not answering IM's and stuff like that from multiple people.

Shady business.

Could someone please elaborate on the shadyness of this place. I was looking forward to going but if it's really something that the community is looking down upon at then I won't go. How are they being shady?

Also, if I do end up going I'll need some housing please.

They aren't answering my IM's as of recently.

Other people have been complaining they didn't get prize money, and that EGL is ignoring their requests.

My friend left a cube at EGL DC, and when he asks for it back they won't respond.

Bascially, they just do a lot of ignoring IM's and stuff like that. I don't want to be associated with an organization if i'm not 100% sure the winners aren't going to get paid.

1) When it says "seeded by location" what does that mean exactly?

2) The website says that you have to be there at like 9 AM and that singles will start at 5 PM, etc. Are the times listed on here what we should abide by?


Joel, if I end up without a partner (if Juke ends up going) and you still need one you can fall back on me. I'm one of the Cincinnati guys. If you're still going that is.

In the discussions that I had through another member with the guy, it sounds like they don't pay prizes themselves but wait for sponsors to do it.

I have a feeling they don't exactly give you the sponsor's name either.

ok, I think me and two other friends will be going to this

I don't think I personally have to be worried about getting ripped off, as I'm still at that stage of smash where I get experience out of tourneys, so I don't have to worry about not getting paid any prize money.

I heard that despite a few organizational issues, this went well in DC (or wherever the first EGL was). But I've also been hearing alot of shady things about them (like in this topic right now...)

AZ if you can SOMEHOW get to Cincinnati, I'm sure Justin and I wouldn't mind taking you provided that you could get back to C-bus on your own too. A greyhound perhaps?

I should be making this but probably only for singles. I hate trying to find on-the-spot partners. Hopefully this won't be some giant scam.

Buster, it would depend on where your friend works, and how fast he could get there

my guess though is that you can do doubles, but probably not singles, though you might be able to if doubles ends early and you don't expect to get very far up the singles bracket :/
