Man, my wednesday nights are permanently gone now, and I'm lucky if I can get out before 8PM on mondays. This whole work thing sucks. I'll still try to make the tourney, but totally out of real practice now.
I came, I saw, I left. Sorry Franman, I feel like a bit of a jerk leaving you there, but I got a call to do other stuff with some people, and given that it didn't seem like anyone else was coming, I took off.
Who quit SC5? The only people I heard of quitting were you, Russell, OOF and Kowtow. You've since said that this wasn't targeted at Russell, I assume you aren't talking about yourself, and OOF appears to be playing again. Who exactly are you talking about?
Edit: I can make it to a gathering...
I can probably make it out tomorrow, but if there's only one PS3 it'll be a bit shitty. I can bring my xbox, I guess, if anyone else can play on a 360 pad, or has a dual modded stick.
Best of luck, Farhan. Sad to see you go. Always good games and good times. I won't be able to make it out this Sunday, so if I don't see you, safe trip and all the best!
TekSavvy, with 300gb download. Pay about 45 a month. I highly recommend switching from Bell or Rogers if you can. They've screwed me way too much. I also switched to Wind for my cell plan, and it's great, so long as you almost never leave their coverage zones.
Can't speak for anyone else, but I'll come out more once past June 19th. I think part of the reason people aren't coming out is that the Canadian tournament season seems to be over, and if you can't make it to MLGs or Evo, there doesn't seem like much to train for.
Looks like I'm on a bit of a hiatus from SC5 at the moment. Have bar exams to study for, and I can't make it out to Evo or MLG anyways. After June, I'll try to make it out more often.
GGs all. Had a lot of fun, and walked away with a pretty sweet stick (now in the process of learning to play on it). I'll try to make it out to more tourneys when I can. My rankings have been steadily going up. Wish I had played some casuals now against Nomac beforehand lol. GGs man.
Also...
Ah, if the tournament is on the 13th, I think I can make it. Awesome.
Also, are there any Leixia players? After losing to a pretty decent one online, I realized I had just about never played one in person and had no idea what to expect.
Are unlocks not just tied to profile? As in, couldn't I just log in to my Xbox Live profile to get all of the unlocks? Anyways, I'll bring a 360 controller and my copy of the game, along with a PS3 controller. Probably only be there around 3.
I think there's two different things there. If you're talking only about "putting us on the map" in a recognition sense, then yeah, I think strong tournament showings at majors is really the only thing that's going to do that.
But I think another, related but separate issue, is improving the...
