SCV: Who To Watch For At EVO 2012

With Soulcalibur V having over 400 competitors at EVO 2012 distributed across twenty-six 16 man pools, it gets kind of crazy trying to keep track of everything, especially if you are new to the competitive side of Soulcalibur V or unfamiliar with who the players are.

I decided to compile a list of every pool for Soulcalibur V and list the players to look out for. Make sure you leave you predictions who to look out for and follow the brackets online as they are updated.

Brackets

 

Can't fucking wait for EVO!!! LostProvidence got this shit (maybe) lol.

 

Pool C29: LostProvidence (#3), Belial, Malek

 

I have prepared my anus... May it be quick and merciful

 

This is awesome. I'd trade a pinky to get in, but I haven't found anyone to make the deal with yet.

 

I'm going to be there. :D haha This is going to be great. I can't wait to see all the SALTY americans. LOL :P Just kidding! But I do know that's why France is the best!

 

I'm counting on Shining Decopon from Japan to make it through. Let's go Tira

 

GO SINGAPORE!

 

Goooo Partisan!!

 

I am going to root for michael jackson. This guy is over 50 years old, dead and he still finds the time to go to evo. Huge shout outs to that.

 

I'm a notable!

My life... now has meaning.

 

Go Keev!

 

POOL D26: Renzo
A solid NorCal player. Good chances of him making it out.

POOL A27: Jeremy Thrasher aka "Stainless_Skill"
A lot of people may know his brother, "SorryBaskets." He's definitely someone to watch for.

Death pools look like
C29 & C27. I'll be rooting for my boy Krayzie in C27, and of course the homie LP in C29.

Also, KineticClash- you're also in a death pool. Even though you owe me a MM, I'll be rooting for you and Ryujin to make it out. Study up on that Ptroklos/Nightmare.

 

Good luck to everyone.

 

Just watched the SEA matches, that major in Singapore. Shen Chan's Cervy and Raphire's Voldo are scary

 

I'm not notable... that's cool. It'll just mean more when I i advance out of my bracket.

 

Love the fact that Keev isn't seeded. Wonder if there are any bookies out there giving long odds on him as a result...

 

Dat C27...!

SCPartisan got this!! It's time for the world to know the monster us Canadians have been having to deal with.

 

Keev and Kura in the same pool, Belial and Malek in the same pool, c'mon it's too early. These things arre unavoidable i guess.

Was hoping to see Omega and Thugish in there, either way this will be epic.

 

NDK has got this fools!! Time for Nor Cals little secret to come out!!
