Remember, keep it short, sharp, punchy and preferably a movie title. I'll take some picks and make the most illegit, bias poll ever!

Rambo > Rocky > Robocop > ?

Top Gun
Gladiator
Terminator
Cliffhanger
Akira

I'm liking the Bourne series at the moment - it seems to flow so well.

I really like Judgement Day, it has a nice appropriate feel to it.

there's a crappy B-grade horror film I always see at blockbuster named

"Super Croc".

on the cover it has a giant crocodile leaping out of the water about to close its jaw over an entire helicopter.

Since Rambo, Rocky and Robocop were a "trilogy" Tournament series, I feel we need to start new. As CAO said, Rocky was a "break the ice" party and Robocop was the graduation, then we need to step it up a notch.

Conor's ideas were pretty amazing, other ideas in mind:

Commando
Predator
Terminator
Sharktopus
Gladiatior
Love, Actually
Armageddon
Grindhouse
Top Gun
Crank
Battle Royale
Snatch
Fearless
Unleashed
The One

I can see these three stringing into each other nicely as a series. :)

We could even sponsor over a Japanese player this time to tie it in with the whole transition from American action heroes to Asian action hero(es).

mmuutteeeeee cciiitttyyyyy

i personally like calling it just BAM tbh


on another note, i dont want to sponsor another international player to this event, i want to sponsor players within aus to make sure all the best come from every state.

or maybe we can make dc3 a much larger event and sponsor players for that instead (if there is a dc3....)

regardless i want a full state vs state sort of thing going, 4 way for brawl (perth exists guyz) and 3 way for melee (perth is ded guyz)

Im not a fan of using bourne as a title, sounds weird to me, but doesn't matter too much I guess lol. I like the idea of rush hour tourney series.

I'm pretty much gonna book flights as soon as next year is confirmed. Don't want to make the same mistake.

And yeah, international players are cool and all but only for the same reason that I watch them on YouTube; to see them **** noobs. There's no hype behind it for me, the hype is behind our national players who are so closely matched, or the people that trash talk like ****.

tibor mentioned that instead of sponsoring an international, we should sponsor our own good players, or players (such as sd <3) who have to pay heaps to come. i reckon this is an awesome idea, personally.
