Soulcalibur V

The Road to EVO 2012 is winding down with one of the last events in the EVO 2012 season. CEO (Community Effort Orlando) 2012 beings today with two streams of tournament action beginning today at 10AM Eastern.

Soulcalibur V is scheduled to have Top 8 to Top 4 on the second stream Saturday at 6PM Eastern with the finals on Sunday at 11AM on the main stream. Notable players at the event for SCV are Kayane, vVv RTD, wing_zero, BrewtusBibulus, Suirad, AvM GamerBee, DIME, EG fLoE, ESA Enkindu, Clint, and others.

MLG Spring Championships were this past weekend (as well as East Coast Throwdown 4) and the results are in! Congratulations to Keev for taking yet another MLG Championships (and Woahhzz for taking yet another East Coast tournament). With the results in the record books, the ranking ladder has been recalculated to reflect the new standings.

However, doing some research on the rankings, I'm seeing a few "quirks"; I wouldn't say they are "bugs", because the quirks are actually by design. They actually show not only the strengths of certain players, but explain a few "slights" people may believe exist in the current system.

Soulcalibur V at the MLG Spring Championship in Anaheim, California, concludes today with top 16 action which you can check out today beginning at 3PM Eastern/12PM Pacific/7PM GMT. After the break, you can find an embed of the stream, the bracket for Soulcalibur V, and a list of the remaining competitors.

Also, make sure to visit the chatroom to discuss the action as it takes place, or you can leave your comments or predictions on who will win Soulcalibur V at MLG in this post.

If you haven't noticed the new tab that at the top of the forum page, you'll see that Jaxel has made the new tournament ranking system, XenTorneo, available for use. With XenTorneo, tournament organizers can submit their tournament results which will get calculated into the ranking ladder for Soulcalibur V.

Along with the results, you can also submit further details such as character usage, bracket image, as well as embed the results within a forum thread. Check after the break to watch a tutorial on XenTorneo and how to submit your results to the ladder.

There are just 3 days left to purchase your Competitor Pass online. You can purchase your player pass by going to our MLG Store. If you wait to purchase your player pass at the event, you will need to pay $10.00 more per player pass, as well as wait in a long line, so purchase online before 11:59 PM ET on Monday!

If you are going to Anaheim to watch the competition in person, make sure to purchase your Spectator Pass online so you don't have to wait in long lines at the event, or worry about spectator passes selling out. There will also be a live stream of the event, so if you are staying at home, we have you covered!
