[Triple R]

I'll be there!

 

[GamesNGOGene]

So much Hype!!

http://www.gamesngoonline.com/information.php?info_id=1

More sponsors on the way! I had a good meeting with some businesses yesterday. If anyone has some contacts for me to reach out to email me at gamesngoadmin@gmail.com

For sure they are having the focus fire team come in and do a live stream at the event. This will be a lot of fun for sure. The event will be a 2 day event because of the sponsors which means more times for casuals money matches and side events!! Hope everyone can make it out. Flux will have the schedule up within a week or two.

 

[GamesNGOGene]

IF you are going to help with a set up be sure to email Gene at gamesngoadmin@gmail.com so he can approve your Venue fees waiver.

 

[Wake]

Just making sure, but is this the same as GnGC3?

 

[FluxWolf]

wel its in a dfferent location than the other 2 GnGC's so id say its different

 

[Wake]

Well yeah, but I mean, there aren't going to be two tournaments right? GnGC3 and Combo Breaker? That'd be crazy haha

 

[GamesNGOGene]

O so there is no confusion this event will be running in place of GNGC 3. Combo Breaker is part of the GNGC circuit and is still a GNGC promoted event though.

Thanks for the interest.

 

[D. Disciple]

[Wake]

Ah I see. Thanks Gene

 

[FluxWolf]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

[D. Disciple]

Oh yeah, cause you know SRT was announced way before this even popped up when I said I was going to that.

But, since you want to cry. Yeah I'll come, better yet, when I get back, I'll make sure to give you guys the flyers that I was forming out for this tourney, Raging Storm, and whatever else you want me to do.

But wait there's more, why I don't bring all of the tvs and set ups, with me that I usually WHEN I do go to a tourney, also help out with the tourney.

But heeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy, there weren't tourneys going on for awhile during the weekend, when I couldn't work?

Oh hey look, an OOS tourney is happening, why don't I go out there to get some practice in until Ocho and the others are ready to host another monthly.

Hey I go look for a venue, I get turned down at the ones I searched out, and didn't receive any call backs from the other ones? Oh darn, guess I'm not helping out enough

Next time shut your god damn mouth. I'm a busy person, and I do what I can.

[ngamer3k]

I'll try to get Iowa to come back to this event.

 

[D. Disciple]

Good ****, keep us updated.

 

[Death Arcana]

this really looks promising
ill see if utah can come

 

[Maxwell Too Swell]

Blowing off steam, D?

 

[D. Disciple]

It's what I do. Better than throwing a controller.

 

[Maxwell Too Swell]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Shippo....

 

[Chexr]

Who is going to escrow my 2k for this match?

 

[TheOgbot]

I'll go.

So Gene I take it you'll have special TVs for the PS3s then since you're doing it all "ASUS Evo" watchamacallit? If you're providing TVs, I can bring a PS3 with MvC3/SSFIV/BB:CS/Tekken 6. If you're not, I'll see if I can rummage around for one, but I won't bring a setup if I can't find a TV haha

 

[FluxWolf]

i heard were making macd the awesomest peach player EVER come to this!

 

[Wake]

.......... why can't I be the awesomest Peach player ever? Seriously, that would be awesome though.

 

[FluxWolf]

actually you are now cuz i dont think macd can come til summer or something

 

[Wake]

Is that sad face because I'm the awesomest Peach player ever? Or because MacD can't come??? Well, Raging Storm is the summer... can he come to that?

 

[Maxwell Too Swell]

I talked to MacD, guys. He said he most likely can't come to this due to school, job, and money johns. He said he can for sure come to MN for about a week in the summer. So let's hope he can make it to Raging Storm! Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up. I'll keep the community updated as it gets closer to both events. Flux, if you can try to see if you can also help influence out of state players to come to either event, and I will keep trying as well.

 

[Wake]

haha I thought MacD coming was a joke... I mean, why would he come all the way out here for a MN tournament? Doesn't he live in California?
