EVO WEST: The West Coast Championships (1 Week after 0C3!!! REGISTRATION FREE!!!)

[TheManaLord]

Can't wait to see how this goes :D

I hope (but I doubt) it will top Evo East!

 

[The Game II]

In case you didn't see the live updates, here are your eight finalists

EdreesesPieces
Mew2King
Roy
Mr. Ganondorf
Chu Dat
P.C. Chris
Hugs
Mango

Before anyone says anything ... Roy is a player from Reno. He has no handle, that's his real first name. He was in the same division as Mr. Ganondorf, a division that can be compared to the 2005 National League West.

[iCE MagE]

Lolz, rickety ur a funny person.. u have a crazy modified controller

Evo west had the stupidest brackets ever. You fail Mr. Whoever.made.the.brackets. Lack of any seeding at all FTL.

3 top 5 placers at Evo East (PC - 2nd Place, Cactuar - 3rd Place, Chu - 5th Place) were all in the same bracket, along with the best Peach player in the country (Vidjogamer). We traveled all the way across the country to attend this, and end up eliminating each other. I brought this up with one of the Evo staff and got ignored with "oh, it's random seeding". Even if it is random, you should be a little more accomodating as far as players from the same region being in the same bull**** brackets.


There are now two "scrub" level players in the top 8 of Evo West, qualified for Evo World. It is disrespectful to our top players for you to not consult anyone as far as seeding goes. It would be like Sanford vs Justin Wong first round at an MvC 2 tournament.

Evo West is failure.

(The actual tournament was run pretty well. The setup just sucked ***.)

 

[AzN_Lep]

Cactuar speaks the truth. While the bracket I had wasn't as ridiculously stacked as the "PC, Chu, Vidjo, Cactuar" bracket, it had its own share of lameness. With the exception of M2K our bracket was loaded with ranked SoCal players, and a mess load of San Diego friends. It went something like this: Edrees, Rickety, St. Patrick, Azn_Lep, P. Body, and D.C. Of course this wouldn't be that big of a deal if this was one of our tri weeklies or something, but to stack one bracket at an event as large as Evo with this much talent and then have another bracket with Mr. Ganondorf and scrub Sheik is just silly. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the Evo community for making Smash a part of its line up, but I feel that some sort of seeding is essential. Espcially for the out of state smasher that travel here just to eliminate one another.

[EdreesesPieces]

I had fun but these seedings were horrrrrrrible!!! I got pretty lucky that I didn't have to face like 10 pros in my bracket.

 

[chillindude829]

mr. ganondorf > vidjo

 

[TheManaLord]

lawl it had enough pro's to be amazing but seeding ****ed it up? that's a shame... evo east (perfection?) > evo west (**** seeding) > evo north (no representation) > evo south (single elim lawlzorz)

 

[Drephen]

[Amon Amarth]

Whoa, Evo was fun yesterday, wish I could have made it today, but a bit of a drive for me.

At least I got to play M2K one round, it was like a roller coaster ride, lol.

But I am so happy I went, i have improved sooo much. Thanks to everyone i played for helping me improve! Hope to see you all at super champ combo.

 

[Omni]

They're doing a promotional contest, and Melee should start in a few minutes. There might be an intermission, but I doubt it.

[C@sH Mooney]

[Eggm]

Did you happen to take vids?

 

[The Game II]

I didn't. Evo staff did I believe.

That was the last circuit event before next month's finals.

--GCII

 

[TheManaLord]

1, 2, 3??? detailz???

 

[runaway_mario]

its all in his blog. so i believe it was
1-m2k
2-pc chris
3-chu
4-edrees-im pretty sure he was 4th

 

[Miharu]

That's some crappy seeding.

 

[iCE MagE]

Hah, didn't he win EVO East as well?

 

[Kryian]

For a couple of years, maybe during the entire existence of the Evo series, they have done random seeding which fairly often results in a "black bracket of death." They do this because they have to seed 50 or more (up to 300) people for 5 or so tournaments, which can very, very easily turn in to people screaming bias when looking at other people's pools. When you do non-random seeding (regional, skill, whatever) it's easy for one person to get a whole lot of hate they may not deserve. When you do it random, players hate the system, they hate the way the seeds worked out, but the organizers themselves don't have to deal with any specifically targeted hate.

 

[DoH]

poor vidjo

 

[The Game II]

Not counting the brackets, my biggest concern was ... and maybe it was different at the other circuit events ... the biggest cheer aside from when M2K defeated PC Chris was when Chu picked Pikachu. The crowd was silent for most of the time.

So I hope that the Melee players come out in full force next month for the finals.

Again, it was probably different at the other circuit events. But compared to the other games of the day, you could hear a pin drop when the Melee players were competing. Right when they started CVS2, the place went beserk, and they've kept up that spirit to now (MVC2 finals).

I just hope that the lack of enthusiasm doesn't mean Melee is a one-and-done deal.

--GCII

 

[replicate]

A lot of people complaining about items being off = win.

 

[~Endless]

Congrats M2K, had to recover from the OC3 loss I guess lol, nice,

Yay PC!

Lol @ random seeding, I always wondered what would happen if it went lke that in a big torny, clearly it is a bad thing XD

 

[nublet06]

well its obvious that roy > vidjo

 

[Rickety]

Lolz, rickety ur a funny person.. u have a crazy modified controller

Yeah I do! :-P
FYI, I don't use it in tournament matches though, it's too weird!
I DO use it in Mario Kart! Snaking is too cheapgood with it!

Yes, there was no love for the melee finals, but next time, we'll be sure to bring AZ + Beast Coast.

I don't know if they're going to post the brackets.

If they do have videos, they'll put it either on the EVO site or SRK, like they did with EVO East.
