Would probably just come down to who actually is down to go to EVO. Cant be picky considering EVO really doesn’t bring anything to the table for 3s players. (no tournament/on console) Anyway, off the top of my head the best players I consider GGPO regulars.
westcoast: tenren/ac-slayer/myself/cruise/neiman/akaata/wuziq
eastcoast: nica k.o/mgear (probably missing more, eastocoast pings 120 for me so I wouldn’t really know who’s good there)
central: yuuki
I know Luka mentioned to me that he wanted to run a side tournament sometime last year (post 10’ evo) and wanted a dedicated room for 3s players to chill and just play casuals, I’d likely be down if that were the case… other then that evo seems bunk.
I doubt most GGPO players would get off their ass. That, and most of the GGPO regulars have only been playing for about 2 years. The teams would be pretty lopsided unless players like Yuuki or Nica are on the GGPO team.
True, but are the best in the US really going to show up to this? I doubt Pyro is going to go for example. Last I heard the Denjin guys consider Evo a big joke and wouldn’t dare stoop to that level.
I’d like to see this happen though, it’d be fun. Anything that gets 3s any sort of presence at Evo again.
Names I’d like to see from GGPO would be Cruise, Tenren, Tenkens, Nica, and 4y3Paragon. Haha. It’d be interesting to see how a guy like Cruise does against the best offline guys.
