Alright, now I just got wind of this tourney, and i need to know if there's any way there's public transportation to here. I'm coming from Queens, so I'm assuming that there should be some kind of bus from Port Authority to NJ--except that I don't know what to do from there.

If anyone would be so kind as to tell me if there's a bus/busline that goes near to where MLG is being held from Port Authority, I'd be much appreciative. If not, then I'll be content to wallow in my prison-like room, sulkily playing level 9 comps, adorned in a wife beater and drinking beer.

 

[Mav]

Was just reading the rules and I wanted to know, how does one move on from the Amature Bracket to the semipro/pro bracket. Forgive my noobness. Just need to know the heads up.

 

[exarch]

Wow. Mavericks a n00b. MM him!! free money!

 

[M3D]

The top 16 rated players from last season, based on MLG rank-points, are entered into the Pro tournament for the first event. There are 16 empty spots in that bracket also. So it's a 32-man bracket with 16 auto-filled spots and 16 empty spots. The top 16 players from the Amateur tournament get to compete in the Pro bracket the next day.

Over the course of the rest of the season, the top 16 players in 2006 rank points will get the auto-qualifying spots for the Pro bracket, but at event event, every player has a chance to defeat the opposition and enter the Pro bracket by getting top 16 in the Am bracket. If you're good enough and consistent, you can earn top 16 and become an auto-qualifier.

For the people that asked before, no, you don't have to pay again for the Pro event. Just once. See you guys soon.

 

[Tink]

i have a question too, is there going to be seeding out of the amature bracket for the tournament? like, are we actually going to play the amature bracket till theres an actual 1st-16th? or is it gonna be like last year, where you get a certain point to get top 16 and your done playing? JW

 

[g-regulate]

i also wonder what tink wonders. if the top 16 from the amature bracket play it out, would they be seeded accordingly, i.e. 1st in amature tourney plays the 16th ranked pro, 16th in amature plays the 1 seed, etc.

Who wants to house with KoreanDJ? Otherwise I'll just have to grab the latest newspaper and sleep on the street...

 

[HugS]

Can anyone give me transportation from the airport ( Newark) to the hotel.

I need to catch a flight on sunday @ 5:40 pm

I arrive friday night at 9:04 pm.

 

[Bailey]

How much to enter Amateur event?

 

[unknownforce]

Lol Dan we already have everything worked out as long as your still planning on going to Pc's on Thursday. On Friday you me Pc and Marcus are sharing a room with Eddie Tink and Bigc. I think Hayato is going to be staying at Wes's place so he could probably stay with us on Saturday or something.

 

[Mav]

I feel enlightened now. Sorry if I spelled that wrong.

See you all there.

FL representing!!!! Fear America's Wang!!!!

If you intend to use your free entry, you don't have to pay online to register. You do, however, need to email me or catch me on AIM before Wednesday of this coming week and inform me that you plan on attending. Posting in this thread won't cut it. my email is:

jason@mlgpro.com


Register online either by paying through MLG's website or by contacting me on AIM or be prepared to play in the amateur bracket. If these Pro players fail to register online the players ranked 16th-32nd who do register online will fill their empty spots, starting with the highest ranks and working your way down until as many of the automatic top 16 spots are filled as possible. So those of you ranked Semi-Pro should definitely register online just in case.


As for teams, when you register online or use your free entry, you must inform me who your teammate is so that I can compile a list of who auto-qualifies for the Pro Teams bracket and who must play in the amateur division. This will be based on overall rank-points for 2v2. Please make sure you get registered online ASAP guys. It's really important this year.


Also, entry fees this year:
Singles - $20
Teams - $20 per team ($10 per teammate)


See you guys in about one week.

 

[Mav]

I hope to do good enough this MLG to score me one of those free spots for the next one.

 

[MEGAMUS]

I'm totally new to this forum business so I need a lot of help. I really wanna make it out to this MLG touney next week, but I live in Ontario, Canada. Anybody know what the closest Greyhound Bus station is? I need to find where I get dropped off before I can book a hotel or anything. Please, anybody who can help me out post ASAP

SMASHERS THAT HAVE NOT REGISTERED

4v4 Halo just closed registration since they are at max capacity with 144 4v4 teams.

Watch a bunch of 1st time smashers sign up in droves and take all the smash slots? How would you like it if SmashN00b123 took your spot Husband?

Step it up in the registration dept!

 

[Mav]

If you've never been to an MLG before, do you have to register on the website? I thought that registration on the website was only for Pro and Semi Pro players. If amatures have to register too, then I'll jet over to the website.

 

[M3D]

We're not requiring it... YET. But we're only allowing a maximum of 128 players to enter for any event. If you don't pre-register and show up after the spots are filled, well, hope you have a nice time in NY and enjoy your flight back. Registration online is a very good idea considering the way the league is growing.

So yeah, step it up. Register online.

 

[Mav]

M3D: Please check your PM box.

 

[BACH]

576 Halo guys...not counting all the FFA guys that arn't in the 4v4s...

Add in 100+ smashers....

This is the biggest MLG ever =)

 

[Fleur de Lis]

Can't KM be automatically placed in the Pro bracket?
I mean, I'm pretty sure no one wants to play him in the amateur bracket.
Same with M2K. get his *** outta my bracket.

[Mav]

M3D: I think I registered for MLG NY on MLGPro.com. But I'm not sure if I did it right. What is your AIM so I can talk to you about it?

[Tink]

[P.c. Chris]

i have the same problem as tinkerbell

 

[Fleur de Lis]

For god's sake M3D, don't make me compete in the Amateur's against PC...

 

[ky]

so wait once you buy the pass are you registered?

 

[Bailey]

You have to register online to enter the amateur event? If so how?

 

[Soanevalck]

@tink, try recreating your password

@IK_GOST...MLG's main site has that info

you dont have to register online, you can register at the event if there are spots available

and yes, when you buy a pass, that means you're registered, if you want to check, go to the MLG forums and check the registration thread, it should have you listed there, if not, give it some time

 

[M3D]

Ok guys... if you're having trouble registering online, please email the support address listed on the MLG website. They can sort that out for you.

Dave... tournament should be finished by about 5pm on Sunday. Hope that helps.

 

[Tink]

ok, i made a new account and everything, and i bought the singles thing. i hope i didnt do something wrong or anything like that :D.

 

[Husband]

M3D, I IMed you on Sat telling you I am good to go. If you can, update the list so I know you got my IMs. Thanks!

 

[Mav]

Husband: what is M3D's IM? I don't feel like I registered right, even though I did register (I thinks).

 

[M3D]

Oh, btw... show up to MLG NY and perform well and you might just end up being famous:

Smash is gonna be on national TV and you guys are gonna be the stars.

 

[Fleur de Lis]

M3D, I don't know if you saw my post about my report on competitive gaming, but would you mind if I gave you a small interview as well? I want to get a comprehensive opinion on smash from a lot of people.

 

[g-regulate]

[Husband]
