[Jan 7, 2012] Frosty Faustings IV (GGXX, SSFIVAE, UMvC3, BB, MK and more)... (Northbrook, IL)

FF was the most fun I had at a tourney this past year and Skullgirls being here is instant hype for me.

Sign me up for SSF4 for now, please.

Is the tournament that day only? If so, yessss I will try my best to make it out (but don’t sign me up for anything yet!).

Also, Skullgirls? Oh god now I really have to go.

Hey guys I’m gonna be the Skullgirls… demo… guy… at Frosty Faustings. Some of you may remember me from Season’s Beatings or Evo where I was also demoing the game. This will be my first time at this particular tournament and I’m super psyched!

Glad to have you on board jmcrofts. Thank you for supporting our event!

Amar from Nickel City is throwing an extra 100 dollars in the prize pot for SSFIV, Marvel, and GG. Thats 100 for each game separately. I’m thinking that this extra 100 will all just go to 1st place for each game.

In addition, I am going to throw in an additional 100 for first place in GG. So thats an extra 200 dollars for 1st place GG on top of the regular prize money from entry fees.

Wow thats awesome.

You can pretty much mark me down as coming now Elven so I would be up for running either ssf4/mvc3 along with Max if he wants.

I’m interested in going since this is one of the few tourneys I can actually make it out to… but I’m only really playing AH3 and more than likely will be playing KoF XIII which will be out at the time

I’d really like to see those games, but since I’ve got quite a bit of a drive I don’t really want to volunteer to run anything right away with the possibility of winter weather and all

Humbag, thanks dude. Whichever one you would prefer to run is fine with me. Thanks for the help as always.

Greats, you are more than welcome to run a AH3 tournament. Just bring a setup. I doubt you will need more than one since the ammount of entrants wont be extremely high for that game.

sounds good i’ll try to make it there

This is becoming a pretty big event. Good shit Bozac. Still not sure what my plans are as far as coming since its my birthday weekend, and I’ll have a lot of people coming from out of town to visit. If something happens and they can’t come, I’ll be there for sure.

Only thing left is to secure a proper stream to make shit go from real, TO FUCKING REAL.

Ugh. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place on this one. We’ll see what happens, but either way your making big things happen Bozac. Keep it up!

ElvenShadow, I made a post on TYM (the MK competitive site equivalent of SRK) to gauge the interest of 20 dollar entry for MK. I’ll also talk to some of the midwest/chicago players.

I’ll let you know how it goes and whether the consensus is 10 or 20 dollar.

Here is the forum post I made if you (or anyone else) wanted to check it out:

Yeah, I can run either one as well.

Truth be told I’m pretty pumped for 2012 to be out before this tourney. Should make for an interesting time.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been busy with a lot of real life stuff.

I am officially announcing that all games (GGXX, UMvC3, SSFIVAE, BB, and MK9) will be $20 entrance fee with a top 8 payout structure as follows:
1st (50%), 2nd (20%), 3rd (12%), 4th (6%), 5th (4%), 6th (4%), 7th (2%), 8th (2%)

Last year, SSFIV had over 100 entrants! That is a lot of money on the table. I am sure with UMvC3 being a fresh game with tons of hype, and having a new balance of AE out, the numbers will be huge this year! I know that the serious MK community is hungry as well so I know they will be coming in full force.
This is a major and a serious event. With more chances to get paid and more prize money for the top placers, it gives everyone an even better reason to bring their A game. An extra 10 dollars to enter a game is a small price to pay for better odds of getting paid in the top 8 and better payout for the top placers. It also gives out of state players more incentive to travel and an opportunity to cover more of their expenses and profit.
Keep in mind that 1st place for GG will still get $200 on top of the pot winnings, and both UMvC3 and SSFIVAE will each get $100 for first place on top of the pot winnings.

I also would like to announce that we will officially have a live stream! It will be run by Daniel Medina (Medina4life). We will try to give all games some exposure on the stream and all finals will be streamed for sure. An official stream schedule will be announced soon. If you would like to commentate on any of the games on the stream, please speak up because we will need some good commentary.
I also want to get organized with who is going to run each game. So from those of you who volunteered, please confirm with me if the following is OK.

GGXX – Run by ElvenShadow
SSFIVAE – Run by Humbag and Max
MK9 – Run by Astral
and of course I will be helping everyone to run every game when they need extra assistance, so don’t worry. You won’t just be left to handle everything by yourself.**

**I still need people to run UMvC3 and BB. If you would like to help run a tournament, please post and let me know. **You will get your venue fee waved completely and your help would be very much appreciated.

I think me and Max can handle sf4 and mvc3

all tournaments are going to be going on at the same time but… are you ok to run both of them between the 2 of you? I of course will help as well with everything while running GG

I’m down to commentate SF4 and MvC… if I can make it. Still unsure. I commentated at UFGT7 and ALL of Fighter x Shooter for SF4 and MvC3, if you wanted to look up some of my commentary.

I also suggest Medina for MK9, Heroic Legacy for UMvC3/MK9, Humbag for SF4/UMvC3, Big Marcus for SF4. Good voices (no homo) plus strong knowledge of their preferred games.

This is going to be a very hype event, and we need to get the word out. Good shit on going with $20 entry per game, Bozac.

Get the word out everyone!! I’ll let everyone I know… know!

Cool, there are some MK players here in Indy who will be coming along. I will see if any of them will help me out a bit too, as I will be entering for some GG action.

Thanks for allowing me to stream, will be my biggest event to date. For commentary i’d really like to see zansam n kevin fair, they were so awesome last night

i can help run UMVC
