Y'know I might not be attending this but I'm looking forward to the results... despite oofmatic being a douche I think he has a big advantage. I mean really how much experience can you really get against danpierre? a stupid ass character with hard to read moves that no one really plays as online. If he's maining him and people have little to no experience against him it's gonna be a bitch to beat him. best of luck to everyone (cept oofmatic lol)

EDIT: actually this is in may...lol apparently anything that starts with an "M" I immediately assume March..haha.. ok maybe I can attend this. derp.. :D
 
If not for any random sickness, I'll be there ! Additionally, we have some other persons from Montreal that should be coming (I'm talking here in regards to SC5).
 
Don't worry, they always rig the bracket so we have to eliminate each other without playing many candians :) it's been a long time since i went more than 1 match without running into another Buffalo player.
 
I'm going for sure, dunno if we're getting a hotel room or what though. My goal is to still be playing on Sunday, so I need to figure that out.
 
Buffalo should have a large contingent of people coming up, at least 12 or so I'd say. If I can make top 8, I'll find a way to crash somewhere.
 
Any idea at what time the finals will be done on Sunday ? I probably would take my trip back on Sunday to avoid an additionnal night at the hotel !

EDIT: Well the Toryuken website told me the answer... Either way, me and Ekkaia will be there 100% sure (pre-registration done, bus tickets paid, hotel room reserved). Sadly, we are only 2 people from Montréal coming for SC5, but we will make sure to make a good impression so you will all reckon Montréal force !
 
I updated the 1st post. OK peeps, I need your help. I can only go so far to advertise this event.
I ask the community to get more SC or other game players.

Playing Online is nowhere close to playing real people you can have fun with.
Please let people know of the event and for the love of greatness, Pre-Register.
