TEAM CANADA QUALIFIER EVENTS
Once again Canada Cup Gaming is looking for the best players across Canada to represent our country! Considering the performance of the team members last year, there will be qualifier events in the following locations:

CALGARY
1st: CCG Jozhear (Vega)
2nd: Riceata (Blanka)
3rd: CCG Lapchi (Blanka)
4th: Hai

TORONTO
1st: JS Master (Balrog)
2nd: TOSFHQ JimmyFierce (Ryu)
3rd: CCG Lapchi (Blanka)
4th: SacoJericho

MONTREAL
1st: Chi-Rithy
2nd: Rameo
3rd: Snafoo
4th: Heero

The winners of these events will receive plane ticket to the 2012 Canada Cup, and a guaranteed position on Team Canada. This leaves one remaining spot, and to decide this we will be holding qualifier events in the following locations:

**VANCOUVER **
**EDMONTON **
REGINA
WINNIPEG

The winners of these events will also receive a plane ticket to the 2012 Canada Cup, but will have to face off against each other in a round-robin tournament, where the winner will secure the last remaining position on team Canada.

There will be a last-chance tournament immediately before the round robin, where the winner will secure entry into the round robin and be able to compete for the final spot on Team Canada!

** 7pm Thurs will be the last team Canada Qualifiers ($25 entry). Winner of that competes in the 5 v 5 round robin (1 game 2/3 rounds), and winner of the round robin become a member of Canada 1 or has a choice to be Captain of Team Canada 2. If winner decides to be on Canada 1 then by default 2nd place winner will be Captain of Canada 2. If winner of the round robin decides to be on Captain of Canada 2, then 2nd place winner will be on Canada 1. I would like to recommend to Captain 2 to keep everyone that played on round robin to be on his team, and 2nd place of the qualifiers. But it is up to him to make the strongest team so talk to your members.

UMVC3 qualifiers is cancelled on Thursday. Lapchi has made Bee the Captain of team Canada for UMVC3 and he will be allowed to pick his team (I hope everyone understands why). This match will be played before the 5 v 5 international AE tournament. If for any reasons there are disputes on the members that Bee picks please have him set up a 1st to 5 vs one of the members, there may need to be something at stake to avoid spams of anyone that wants to get on.
Rules tbv but would most likely be 2/3 matches for Canada vs USA Umvc3.

We have conatacted local community members to help us organize these events, so much thanks to them!

Good stuff!

We in there

Looks hype, glad to see this get bigger and better over the past couple years.

Should be there (for the first time D: ). I want to make a dent in dat MAVARU!

FakeSteve for Team Canada! Who’s with me?! Yeah!!!

Damn you guys are so awesome!! Canadian Godsgarden before the main event.

I had the HD sub last year and will get it again this year, this event goes far beyond what is expected of competitive gaming events.

awwwwww yeeeahhhhhhh Canada Cup two thousand and twelve!!! lets goo!!!
imma make it out of my pool this year… “i guaranteeeeee” /Leatherhead voice

Just a heads up for everyone that we’ll be releasing more info when we get back from Vegas next week. To much to get ready before we all take flight tomorrow!

Leatherhead like from ninja turtles? awesome

Edmonton qualifier is here

What are the chances for getting 3/5 throughout the tournament for UMvC?

Make this happen plz

Good luck with this

More than luck we need a way to stockpile sanity.

yes UMvC3 has gotta be 3/5

and a big marvel money match of some kind would be awesome too

PLEASE make Marvel 3/5

Was gonna ask a few nights ago but forgot.

B vs RDK?
Maaake it happen plz

B ? whos that?

I saw one Canadian flag in top 32, and it was a player called Rami.

http://evo2012.s3.amazonaws.com/brackets/mvc3_n1.html

So Rami is a lot better than Bee or RDK. Strong showing from Canadian players this year, both in Marvel and Street Fighter.
