General Notes:

Hey everyone, I am happy to announce the first of the ESC’s new project, The Elite Series. the goal is to expose the scene’s best players to a larger audience of people. So we will be running a series of tournaments (the same format and payouts as everyone is used to ) but the top players of the series of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 tournaments will be entered in a Grand Finals event located at the Michener Institute in Toronto.

Along side 2 other grand finals games.

What is the likelihood that Grand Finals will happen, in a percentage value?

Is the Starcraft 2 and League of Legends portions of this series running on this same day as well (regarding your poster on ECS website)?

League of Legends & SC2 will both have their own days , Same with UMVC3. The only time these dates will be shared will be at the Grand Finals. The dates on the website will get further detail as we move forward and the Facebook of both ESC & Elitewill be updated as new partners come on board or changes happen.

The success rate of this project happening is very high as I am not doing this alone, I am going to say 100% only because if it doesn’t , the grand finals venue won’t be happy haha.

Just be careful and dont’ fall in the same pit holes you fell in the last time around and you’ll be fine.

so with leagues, we would need to get a team of 5 people to go?

Yes League will be 5s, but I am doing a Free Lan/ Test / Community feedback event to hear what people want on April 7th . Because Dominion or 3v3 is also a possibility. escfreelan.eventbrite.ca

so the computers would already be at the venue? I’ll see if my friends would want to enter :stuck_out_tongue:

I would like to know if it is BYOC (computer) too
