EVO, Genesis, Comic con....

[S.D]

Anyone interested in EVO, Genesis and a spattering of other events around that time period?

I'm looking into flights now, but I'm keen for a US trip.

At this stage looking like $1600 return is about the mark for flights.

Let me know if anyone is thinking about going.

 

[Bu$]

Would love to go if i end up with the spare moneyyy!

 

[Redact]

ill be there
probs taking my partner too so gotta figure that out

 

[Dekar289]

ditch her and take me instead
i'll carry us to a victory in teams as per usual

 

[Redact]

i saw your dad at the train station last night dekar
we had a nice conversation before he had to get on his train
my train came after that

 

[Dekar289]

yeah i heard
book my flights

 

[Redact]

pretty much 99% confirmed now actually for evo 2013, need to just get genesis dates and then book flights/organize time off work

 

[S.D]

I'm in the same boat, will be checking what I can get off with work then looking to book once we get work on Genesis dates. Most likely will be bringing the woman as well.

 

[S.D]

$10k donation... who the heck could that be?

Srs though good **** Shaun, thank god you're not a brony.

 

[smopup]

Calling it now, Nova dropped $30k on ST to scare the Smash community into stepping up their game. Donation drive mind games too good.

For real though, thanks so much for all the donations. I don't plan on going to EVO (if I had the funds I would), but you can count on me being a stream monster that weekend.

 

[CAOTIC]

that would be hilarious

 

[S.D]

I'm confirmed for Evo. I'll be holidaying in the US from 16 June to 16 July.

Anyone else going?

 

[Bu$]

Going to compete SD?

 

[S.D]

Wouldn't be going just to spectate, could do that at home.

 

[Bu$]

Haha that's true. Silly question.

 

[S.D]

Goal is to make brackets. Fingers crossed for ******** evo seeding and an easy run through pools!

 

[smopup]

Do they have a system for seeding international players? From what I've read it all sounds pretty restrictive, even for US players since only a couple of the qualifiers feature Melee.

 

[Shaya]

From what I've gathered, Genesis was cancelled.

 

[S.D]

Yeah G3 is off, but I registered for Evo. I assume unknown internationals will get poor seeding, maybe I'll get saved by traditionally poor evo seeding...

 

[Shaya]

If it's someone within the smash community managing it, could probably get you helped out there.

qantas melb->lax $1200 return http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/96708
would have to leave 11 june at the latest and return 22 july at the earliest for sale fares

 

[S.D]

I got flights for less than $1200 on virgin with a stopover in syd. But I'm going 16 June - 16 July

 

[Karnu]

Good luck, S.D!

 

[S.D]

Thanks homie!

I'll probably be too burnt out to stand let alone smash after a month of holidaying but it should be fun.

 

[Redact]

i wont b there since girlfriend cant get leave/just too pricey

unless youre willing to do the things she would do for me s.d

 

[CAOTIC]

i've been treated to better seeding in the west coast (more thoughtful seeders imo). best of luck. unreon and rose are entertaining the idea of attending evo -- have a word with them.

Evo pools are out. This is S.D's pool: http://evo2013.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/ssbm_b62.html

Here's where you can view all the pools:

S.D in same pool as Armada...'s brother, and redd, ICG and pb&j

I have faith in S.D

 

[Karnu]

You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dekar289]

great regional seeding, only 2 non-us players in the pool and they meet in round 2
apparently armada and pp will meet super early too? lool

10am start
no probs for sd, used to getting up before dawn to drive to tourneys from the middle of nowhere
my super secret pro advice: don't get hit, and if you do get hit, hit them back harder

wrong, pp and armada dont meet early, theres no major jank pools outside of armadas which has armada + shroomed

The pools are also not final, so for any bad pools theres the option to submit feedback on the bottom right of each pools page.

also theres 696 entrants for evo, more than double the 2nd highest tournament ever (pound 4 with 347)

 

[CAOTIC]

How does that rank to the other fighters in the EVO official lineup? It'll be funny if Melee's turnout eats up the entire showfloor.
