i dont think online brawl will really show the skill of our brawl players because i dont think most of them still play online.

All of MN should go to the Games N Go monthly thing this friday, to hang out with me. Because when I move up in August we're all going to be BFFs.

new prague (where i live) is like right in between the cities and kato, the cities is 45 min north, kato is 45 min south. so that means its more like a 2 hour drive to the cities from kato. still not really a big deal though, im so used to driving about 2 hours total for anything anyways.. haha.

BLUEZAFT im very excited to meet you and im down to play melee/chill anytime when you arrive! I also go to kato for parties a lot because a ton of my high school friends go there now

Man, Minnesota people are awesome. It's really hard to get people to play in Texas. I think I'll like it here.

By the way, is there anyone who would be able to let me crash at their place after the tourney friday night? Just looking for a place to stay that's closer to the Minneapolis airport than Mankato, so I don't have to drive the 80 miles super early in the morning.



Lol doesn't mankato have the highest STD rate in MN?
woo party!

the best thing about mankato is that the cops dont give a *** hahaha ive been at several parties that got busted but only there and my house once have the cops CHILLED WITH US before leaving and not give anyone tickets.

bluezaft do you need a ride to the airport or do you have a vehicle here? I live 45 mins, which will be your last option if no one accepts lol

Are the prizes for this...store credit? Out of curiosity?
I've been wondering this too, since it is through GnG. I'm kinda hoping not, cause I don't know what I'd use my store credit to get from there.....

Edit: Especailly since the last two NEW games I got there from won store credit both had already cracked cases >: ( The games worked fine though.

those are just the prices that gene posted, hes in charge of all of that. i think because not many of the bad players would enter if it was 10, but want me to ask him if we can make it 10 for u guys? im sure he would agree that because of oos interest it should be 10/20

but then if you guys still want to make some monz you will have to hype it up here some more cuz then less randoms will be entering! lol

this tourney is very worth it to come to! the venue is open from 10am to 4am in a hotel with melee/brawl going on THE ENTIRE TIME over all those other games going on the side =D

this will be a good low stress tourny for some of you good oos players to come to if you're looking for a good time + winning a decent sized tournament

heres the thing. Lets say, 40 people enter the tourney, 10$ entry fee. Thats 400$ in the pot

You lower it to 5$, and around 10 randoms MAX might enter. the pot is currently going to be 250$, barely over half the normal one at the cost of some bad kids deciding to enter. This doesn't appeal to all the OOS players who might want to come, nor does it appeal to most of the people here because it takes away from the competitive aspect and makes it seem like its not that serious/big of a tourney.

You just lost what may have been around 10 OOS players+ in the process lowering the competition and pot value, all because you wanted to let some ba dkids enter

I shouldn't have said this considering i'd rather have easy money with no OOS people coming
