A&C Games and Azure’s Dojang have teamed up to bring you an exciting new event! On Wednesday, November 9th, 2011, 8 members of the fighting game community have been cordially invited to battle it out in a Double Elimination bracket, the winner of which will be rewarded with a $100 pot bonus (whether or not the players themselves will put in money towards the pot has not yet been decided). This event will be streamed in its entirety by none other than TTT_Rxs. Invariably, there will be questions on how the 8 contestants were chosen. As this is an invitational, there were a number of factors that went into my choice and there may arguably be what you consider better players that were not invited. At the end of the day, I made a call as to whom I thought should fight for my donation to the community and I hope this does not sour you to the event. There will be great matches on display and your support would only increase the likelihood of this type of event happening again in the future.
Without further ado, the details:

Official Fight Card and Starting Bracket:
The brackets in the Invitational were not randomly generated but handpicked to maximize hype. They have been carefully selected based on 9 month’s worth of grudge matches, rivalries, egos, and fighting words. There will be no dodging feared match-ups. It’s going down. All questions will be answered after the final showdown.
Mr. Trite vs. Joker
RDK vs. Quandizzle
Salman vs. Rikir
White_R vs. NickCam
Format:
Double elimination. First to 3 (or Best of 5) for all normal matches. First to 4 (or Best of 7) for Winners, Losers and Grand Finals.
i think it will be heavily dependent on brackets. …
word on the street is that the players will be throwing in $10 of their own cash into the pot. In addition, Buddah-Force is throwing a stick into the mix… this will bring the pot to $180 + a stick~!
as an aside… I will be taking sidebets all night… who’s NICER?
Editted original post: Added an additional prize donated by none other than the community’s very own Danny Buddah-Force Truong! In addition, Andrew NguBoy Nguyen has crafted a pretty clean looking poster. Thanks for the contributions guys~ Shoutouts to the community.
That’s an awesome poster.
For people who think just because they are not invited should not come, Side Bets are gonna happen that night. I’ll be there for side bets
As per my conversation with Jon earlier today, Omega Collectables will be providing the Winner of this event their choice of 8 Sanwa OBSF-30 30mm Snap-in or 8 Seimitsu Skeleton 30mm pushbuttons so they can make their new stick all shiny and pretty.
Updated original post for new Bonus Prize! Can everyone who has ever been to a tournament or got hype over watching a match play out give yrsf.omega a hug the next time you see him? This man is both generous and an integral part to the fight community!! Thanks for the contribution~!
I will be having an SSF4 AE Invitational and he opted to play in that one instead. Joker has graciously accepted to fight under such short notice and is, in fact, our opening bout. Stay tuned for the remaining bracket!
yes he is, he’s the one that beat salman a few months ago in an esc tournament and got 3rd. He’s a prodigy of the scene and he’s got a good chance to win this tourney. I hope he does well at the invitational
