I didn't see this posted anywhere on this forum however it's rather important.
For those who did not know, EVOLUTION WEST qualifiers have been moved to San Diego, California and are being held side by side with the San Diego Comic Con.
Good news: Entrance is now free like EVO South, and unlike EVO south it's still double elim bracket and all the good stuff.
Bad news: You will need to get a Comic Con badge (blarg) at least to see or be in (I guess) the finals day of the Comic Con.
It's being held at the Omni Hotel, right across the street from the Comic Con.
Anyhow, I heard from a friend that week will be rather hectic for Smash players from what I'm getting there is a big tournament in Orange County the week before, and players from out of state will be staying to compete in EVO West as well. Please try to plan for this change as well. I don't where people are staying, but from what I remember growing up in OC the drive from OC to SD is longer than the one to LA. Hope people can still make it to EVO West.
I'm not a smash player but I'm offering some rides to anyone in the Corona/Riverside Area (preferably southern Riverside county) who needs em. I suggest people carpool together and split gas to save money and parking space.
Good luck.
