[Jul 11, 2014] EVO 2014 SCV and SC2 Side Tournament (Las Vegas, NV)

  • Moderator
EVO 2014 is rapidly approaching and much the same as last year we are not included in the main lineup. However, we are planning to host a side tournament for Soul Calibur V and Soul Calibur 2! @Revin122, TwinGalaxies co host @Jennifer Zhang,and I have all stepped up and want to do our best to make this a great experience for you guys. However to make this all possible, we are going to need your help. Yes, we need interest from you guys to be able to have this tournament. We need you guys to attend!!

I understand that this is all last minute. However, I still firmly believe this event will be exciting and is not an event you are going to want to miss. Similar circumstances happened last year and we still ended up getting great numbers along with a very well-run exciting tournament. I understand that this is a selfish request. Not every one of you will be able to attend, but for those of you who can please try your best to make it. We are trying our best to make this event as great as we possibly can. This is not an event you want to miss out on!

As many of you already know, EVO is the premier video game tournament for fighting games and is held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fighting game players from around the world are drawn together by their common universal love of fighting games. In fact, EVO's location alone makes this event worth travelling to. Like what was said in last year's thread; Getting some drinks and walking down the strip with your fellow fighting game players is always a terrific experience.

Finally, to make sure you guys attend and to help generate interest for the tournament I have asked some well-known community players for their support. @Ramon @Zane @Revin122, @Alex.J, @GreatOne1939 @Rikki_TikkiTavi and a couple of other well-known community members have all voiced their support and would love to see SCV at EVO. @Revin122 has even graciously stepped up and offered $500 in donations to the pot! (Big shoutouts to you my friend.)
@Zane has stepped up and offered ANOTHER $500 in donations to the SCV pot but only on ONE condition. We have to get at LEAST 60 players, any less and the pot bonus will remain at only $500


Current SCV pot: $650 ($1150 if we get 60+ entrants)

Current SC2 pot: $1000



UPDATE: Over the past week many members of our community have shown interest in a SC2 side-tournament. I promised I would add SC2 to the lineup if enough interest was shown, and to be honest more than enough interest was shown (We even got interest from Japan!). As a way of sparking interest for SC2, @Revin122 has once again generously stepped up and offered $500 in donations to the SC2 pot. To promote even MORE interest, @Jer has offered another $100 to the pot. To further support SC2 at EVO, @Talim JP has unselfishly stepped up and offered $100 more to the pot!

Good news, @banes has unselfishly stepped up and offered yet another $100 in donations to the SC2 pot!! Thanks to him the SC2 pot current stands at $800

$20 Entry for SCV
$20 Entry for SC2


$30 entry if you enter BOTH games. If you do this, $20 goes to the pot of the Soul Calibur game of your choosing, while $10 will go to pot of the other SC game. This is to help bond the community together and encourage cross-participation for both our beloved games!

If you are even slightly considering this tournament I ask that you please reply to this thread or use the RSVP system. Show us and other players your interest! I am convinced that this is going to be one of the best events of this year. For those of you attending, see you guys there!

EDIT: @Tomahawk has joined our team. However, he said he still isn't sure wether he will be able to help much or even at all. Nevertheless, I am excited to have somebody who has previous experience running an EVO side-tourney on our team :).

Don't know :/. We are a side-tournament so registration takes place the day of the tournament. I think we have a good amount of confirmed people though =D
Oh ok! How much is registration? I talked to Zane. I'll be riding with you guys and Revin. :)
 
Just wanted to let you guys know that I'll be taking my stream and RINGOUT is letting us use his 4G connection, and so this would mean that we might have casuals, MMs, FT10s, and such streamed from whatever room we're staying in. I'll update you guys with the room number.

Also, if you guys are interested, please let me know here, on FB, or on anywhere that I can read so I can make templates for the stream presentation. That way it looks... better. What do I mean by that? Well, take a look at the first 30 seconds

So yeah, if you're down to have your MM or FT(number) streamed, let me know your tag and character you'll be using so I can make a template for you. I already have one for Signia vs RO $100 MM :p
 
Will there be any sort of qualification to attend this? If not, what sort of EVO pass do we need for side comps?

No qualification is needed, everyone can attend providing they pay me the entry fee for the tournament. As for the EVO pass, all you need to attend our side-tournaments is a spectator pass ($20 one)
 
Hey guys i'm going to be uber rusty. so lets see who wants to beat on an old has-been for $20 a person? whip me back into shape. Who's gonna take my money?
 
Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the thread, but are there dates/times set for SC2 and SC5?

Also, sounds like Piggy will be coming for the SC2 tourney, so more free money in the pot!

I seem to remember beating you every best of 3 we called over the weekend...Classic Jer trash!


But yeah...fuck...I always go to Vegas over Evo, but I haven't entered anything for a couple years, and was just going to totally ignore EVo this year (LVH, really?!) , but I got chance to play SC2 and, fuck, it was actually really fun (even though I'm old and shitty now).

I haven't bought the badge yet, but yeah, I'm in, and I'll put $100 to the pot.

I know we are planning on straming - how do the EVO staff feel about uploading vids from side tournaments? Cause I'll tape as many matches as I can, for posterity, and a head-hunting $5 bonus to anyone who beats Jer, cause seriously, fuck that guy (up to $30 total).
