I’ve been living in Japan for over a year now. When I came back to visit the US for EVO, I won the GGXXAC singles and team tournament. Many players couldnt make it out to EVO and I wanted to organize a GG major that could gather players from all around the US. :nunchuck: In addition, I feel bad for the US community over what happened at Seasons Beatings 3 (not pointing fingers at all, just the end result sucks regardless), so I wanted to give the US another GG major (and with the support of the Chicago scene we will be running other games too!). I will be visiting Chicago for 2 weeks this Holiday season and this tournament will be a great chance for the best Guilty Gear players in the US to get together and have a fucking battle (and do lots of chillin :rock:).

Additional information, please read!:
There will be a venue fee of $10 per person. This money is only to cover the cost of the venue and will not be pocketed by me in any way. Theres a very high chance that there will be extra money after paying the venue costs. This extra money will go right to the prize pot for Guilty Gear! Its almost guarenteed that we will have the venue fee more than covered so expect a pot bonus! If someone has a question about venue costs, I will be happy to answer them and tell everyone exactly how much we end up having left over at the event. Ive got nothing to hide from the community.
Each tournament will be $10 to enter (this is in addition to the one time venue fee, all money will go directly to the pot and go to the winners). I MAY throw in an extra bonus if enough people show up, so lets make this BIG!
Payout will be
1st 70%
2nd 20%
3rd 10%
I will be taking Pre-regs in this thread. PLEASE POST IF YOU PLAN TO COME. Post your NAME, HANDLE, and LOCATION and what games you plan to enter.
Location is very important because it will be used for seeding purposes. I will make a bracket in advance and post it online prior to the event. The bracket may change depending on if last minute players decide to attend or if certain people dont show up, but you can expect the bracket to be seeded fairly by region to the best of my ability and I will also take into account positioning of players who have had remarkable tournament placing history.
Airport information:
For those of you flying here, the best airport is O’hare. Its only 7 miles away. You can easily split a cab with some people and I may be able to arrange to have some people picked up from the airport depending on what time they arrive. It would be best to try to get a group of people picked up at the same time. It would be best to take the CTA blue line from Ohare airport to the next stop which is Rosemont, as it would be far easier to pick people up that way.
If you can find a cheaper flight that goes to Midway airport, you an easily just take the Chicago CTA Orange line train directly from Midway and transfer downtown at the Clark/Lake station to the Blue line and take that all the way to Rosemont.
All rides on the CTA are about $2 no matter how far you go.
Other than that, you all know this shit is gonna be hype as hell! Its gonna be great chillin with everyone. You know were gonna party it up after the tournaments. I will also have plenty of TVs for casuals throughout the tournament. I ENCOURAGE money matches and lots of hype!
