[Jul 21, 2012] KOTC Fighting Game Tourney (Morristown, NJ)

Hey Everybody!
I have thrown a few tournaments in the past year, and posted my info on SRK. To my surprise I got a massive turnout, got some known heads to pop through like FNEX Mad Titan and EMP KDZ to name a few. Led to some sponsor deals, new friends, and a partnership with Rod Lane and KOTC gaming. With that said:




Time for the biggest event of the summer next to EVO, the King of the Couch Tourney, sponsored by Gamestop!
With an added bonus; This year is the first time fighters are being introduced, and what better place to announce it/ hype it up then the SRK forums!

Big Venue! Bigger prizes! And of coarse, the BIGGEST Hype!

While you are there, please feel free share the info with people you know, help us help you make this event as hype as possible.

Hope to see you all there!

If anyone is interested, we just added SC5 to the brackets, however we do not have the game. If anyone is interested in coming, please feel free to contact me, else we would have to buy a game on the spot, meaning we would not have any unlocked characters. Sorry for issue, and again, hope to see you all :)

Everyone, I'd like to give a thankyou/shout out to the FGC, 8WR and everyone for coming out and making the event one to remember. KOTC hasn't had the best reputation for hosting fighting tournaments, but this time we nailed it. Had around 400+ people to come out, prizes, raffles, known people from NJ, NY and even people as far as DC and the like. But again, none of this could have happened without you for coming through and making the event hype. Of the issues people brought up make no mistake, they wont be there next time, and we look to incorporate more for the next one. As for the tournament itself

Results:

SC5: 1st: SonicFox

2nd: Yoki

3rd: Insaynne

AE: 1st: Chris G

2nd: Insaynne

3rd: Grover
