Players if you’re arriving Friday please call me, you can coming to my room (801) and pay your registration and entry fee or buy one of the fly ass NECXII shirts (designed by Kazi). That would really help me out if you guys can do that. See contact section for the appropriate information.

I have changed a lot of entry fee so players can have some kind of money left over to do other things with like eat and party or do whatever. I think this will help the numbers in some of the smaller games too.

THIRD STRIKE!

Lets get some stuff going people!

NY v EC 15v15 or 20v20 again?!

BigD · August 31, 2011, 9:55pm

Nice! I’ve been waiting for this one. I really wanna go to the first umvc3 major, and this looks like the right place!

Mmmmmmmmaaaannnn it’s gonna be cold!? Anything special I should know? What’s the best airport to fly into?

eric · August 31, 2011, 9:56pm

Thanks up to fran and quotes.

We had over 700 players at NecXI, let’s top that.

eric · August 31, 2011, 9:58pm

Where are you from.
Philadelphia international airport(phl is the airport code).

THE_ANSWER · August 31, 2011, 10:01pm

Very disappointed that there is no mention of KOF 13 at all.

ChrisD · August 31, 2011, 10:13pm

Good to see it’s at the Sheraton. I’m 85% positive I will be there.

Sorwah · August 31, 2011, 10:13pm

umthrfkr · August 31, 2011, 10:14pm

in there like swimwear

ninja edit: ide enter xvsf

eric · August 31, 2011, 10:37pm

Kof13 and all the games Matt just asked about will be added to the side tournament list don’t worry.

Shakugan · August 31, 2011, 10:44pm

Count me and the DRS boys in for this also. Dont forget about King of fighters 13

Why kof13 gotta be a side tournament I demand it be a main game

THE_ANSWER · August 31, 2011, 10:54pm

Side tournament?

I don’t mean to sound like a troll but, CvS2, GG, 3SOE, SC4, MK2, MB:AA are in the official lineup and KOF 13 is not? I really don’t see how you came to this conclusion, KOF is not just one of the most anticipated games in the FGC but it’s a NEW game. Even if there’s no KOF scene in the East Coast at the moment the game is coming out the last week of October so I’m sure that there will be enough hype to carry over to this tournament to have a decent turnout.

You can advertise your tournament in our website www.dreamcancel.com

eric · August 31, 2011, 11:08pm

Ok my friend I will do that. Thanks.

keninblack · August 31, 2011, 11:10pm

I would enter Alpha 2.

HuBBsDoctor · August 31, 2011, 11:22pm

me and jtmb will run a kof13 side tourney. he said there are people from the west coast that will fly out for it.

eric · August 31, 2011, 11:31pm

Kof13 will be added to the main game group.

kattermari · August 31, 2011, 11:48pm

We do apologize for the lack of KoF13 mention. Given the small KoF scene on the EC it gets overlooked sometimes but if players are willing to travel from out of area and make some noise for it we’re more than happy to give you guys some of the spotlight with stream time and the whole 9 yards. We’ll fix this as soon as possible and get you guys the attention you deserve.

Word to the wise though, **if you guys are entering our main games and we are offering online registration for it please help us and yourselves out by taking advantage of it. This NEC I would like to start bracket development prior to Saturday which can only benefit you guys in terms of skill and location seeding as well as timeliness. **The turn out this year should be crazy with UMvC3 and the potential of AE 2012 being released right before this so we need to make sure we can eliminate any last minute registration efforts so people don’t have to wait around all day to play their matches. Like I said before, this is all in the best interest of you the players! With cooperation from you guys we can make this the best NEC yet!

PaperTigre · September 1, 2011, 1:59am

If you guys need any help running KOF XIII, give me a shout hubbs. Setup, stream, i’ll help how I can.
Also, no AH3 listed?

CoMeBaCk386 · September 1, 2011, 10:03am

are you gonna come out of hiding for that game??? ill enter it of course and guys ST will be hype for this imma make sure of that already got ideas in the works gonna ask spooky to stream ST for top 8

psychochronic · September 1, 2011, 10:40am

I cannot book my Megabus tickets now but when the time comes, I will book them and will try to bring more people with me.
