More details about the broadcasts, competition formats and rules for both events will be available soon. Join us starting on August 10 as fighting games heat up the MLG Summer!

 

Hopefully I'll actually be able to make this one!

This is the Arena, nub!

In other words, this is for the qualifiers from the last MLG event; it's an invitational.

He's referring to Raleigh.

 

Cool beans.

 

I wish they'd add Persona 4...but Tekken is pretty much guaranteed and will have a huge following (or should, at least).

Is that game even out yet Persona 4? Anime community made a petition that has 500+ signatures to convince MLG to pick it up. IIRC Carlos and Arturo were impressed and are working on it.

Why does it have to be anime community? =(

Either way, no, it's not out yet.

 

Woaahzz not going?

 

Invitational only to the top 8...just...the...8...on...the top can go...

 

Can we PLEASE get some Final Round entrant numbers for MLG Raleigh? Lets support this game!

I'm sure he'll be in Raleigh as long as he doesn't plan shit at the last minute.

 

Hi folks, ok, so I've been scouring the internet for days... Can anyone please tell me where mlg, NYC on the 10th will be at??? Like the exact location for the event?... I'm trying to book a flight and a room but it isn't posted anywhere the location of the event I.e. hotel, convention center etc. Is this like a invitation only thing? Or can I just take a flight up there and enter the tournament? Thank you.

 

The Summer Arena which is being held in NYC is an invitational, meaning that only the top 8 at MLG Anaheim are allowed to compete, meaning if yo ass didn't make top 8, then yo ass ain't getting in.

MLG Raleigh is the open tournament.

 

Ah.. Okie that explains it...ok any info on the location of the raleigh NC event location? That isn't posted anywhere either, I have never been to a mlg event, but as of now, it seems very, very difficult to get any info on these events=lame. But thank you very much malice.
