some shoutouts action
Alex G: that was an intense money match, you almost had me. Next time lets make it big and hype like the one you had with george
Flash: no money match this time = thumbs down. Thats ok though, Iāll get you next time. Its all good
Combatfreak: congrats on being the only one who beat me in a money match this weekend, too bad we didnt have time to run that back but next time I will have to step it up against you
Andrew: sorry I always end up taking you out, maybe one of these days they wont put us in the same part of the brackets. good matches as ussual
ultimate faust: congrats on taking 4th place. You seem to be getting a good grasp on faust, too bad we didnt get to play eachother, but i hate mirror matches anyway haha. Come to evo north
zinac: good shit on being the only one with the balls to play me for more than 10 bucks in a money match, sorry you had to lose it but your faust is coming along nicely as well
rudy: good showing as ussual, you guys need to make it out to evo north
chaz: good games
stone: keep working on your venom, its not half bad. Also, smoke owns you for free
tennesee baiken player (sorry i forgot your name): good game in the tournament, you turned out to be a pretty tough opponent, playing you my first match certainly made me play my A game from the start
pimp juice: good tournament match, and even better post tournament activity, good to see other people get down like chicago does Im always down for more āgreenā matches heheh
Heidern: thanks a ton for running the tournament, you made good brackets, ran things fairly and kept things organized. Its always good to chill and do the ussual post tournament activity with you. By the way, I found your sweatshirt, it wound up in my bag buried in my other clothes, if you PM me your address I can mail it back to you.
Combofiend: glad to see at least someone from west coast guilty gear came out to play. I heard that the cali scene still plays fairly frequently out there, you should try to convince more cali players to travel. I would love to play against some new players. And tell romel and saif to stop being lazy and come with you next time.
R0b0t and Jan: thanks for coming out and reping texas even with evo south going on. You picked the right tournament to go to. It was good to play you again jake, though its a shame I didnt get a chance to play Jan. You guys should come out to evo north.
Sanford: good job on marvel, I hope you were serious when you said you are going to try to learn more guilty gear and try to get more marvel players to start playing. It would certainly be a huge step in advancing the community.
Arturo: good seeing you again dude, try to make it out to chicago in june
Fugee: youāre a smart man, you know who to place your bets on. When you make it to evo north, make sure you force Kenji to come along this time, even if it means knocking him out and stuffing him in your trunk
Final Round staff: thanks for making chicagoās first final round a posative and memorable experience. Everything was done well.
Booooo! to everyone who posted they wanted a money match with me and were no where to be found
Also Booooo! to no 5 on 5 chi vs EC happening. That shit would have been hot
and finally, last but certainly not least, good shit to everyone from team chicago, even the guys who couldnt make it out, you are all the reason why we succeed
i learn a lot from you in ST everytime, glad we MATCHED up 
Much thanks for the fun times.
