SBO/EVO QUALIFIERS / Midwest Championships (Northbrook, IL) June 20-22, 2008

I wanted to play in it last year, I was just completely out of cash at that point.

i wanted to play mystery last year but they had GG singles at the same time. bad timing for me : (

It was on the first day, LOL!

LOL busted!!! =)

No, seriously, I had no cash left on me. If I hadn’t had a credit card I would have starved.

That was too easy Murph. Not even worth my time:bluu:

I’mma do the mystery tourney this time, shit was mad hype last year. All hell broke loose when the NES came out:rofl:

it was a shame that jeron and dsp had no clue how to play smb1 or even tetris. me and cole shoulda been finals. woulda been a battle

when people punk out on a mystery tourney, please feel free to play the “SHOOK ONES” card.

Seriously though, how do you NOT know how to play Tetris or SMB1? we all had game boys and nintendos…WE KNOW HOW THIS SHIT WORKS!!!

Man, all this talk of mystery tournies. I’m getting hyped just trying to figure out wtf is going on here. Here’s hoping it’s something I’ve at least HEARD of.

B-Town?

Where is that in IL?

i entered the mystery tourney lsat year, it was relaly fun

but i had to leave to pick someone at the airport

turned out it was the wrong airport

as for nickel city beating everything in the area… there isn’t anything else in the area, namco put the final nail in the coffin when it got rid of the cyberstation at the HIP, which was still open during evo north

I’m up in the air on going. Odds are it won’t be a money issue but more of a “can i get my friends to go” issue.

If I do end up going I’ll 100% join the mystery tournament :slight_smile:

Syxx: Gameworks, Dennis’ Place, Diversions, Gala North, Enchanted Castle, and Gala West are still around AFAIK.

Not sure about TIme Out at North Pier (man am I old), or the Cyberstation…

But yeah, there are still a pile of arcades that I know of in the Chicagoland area.

well i meant places with comp :slight_smile:

OH SHIT SON!!! u bring the MD crew?

Gameworks only…nothing at Enchanted, Don’t know about Galas…

We’ll see. If there’s no CvS2, I doubt any of us will come out. If there is, then I’ll be out there, at least. Maybe some other fools.

If they don’t qualify at Evo East, then you can bet they’ll come out too though. :lol:

Yeah itsd sad, Enchanted Castle used to have lots of fighting games and lots of comp. But IIRC they don’t even have a single fighting game.

Actually I’ve been going to Gameworkz for there Mvc2 Cab.

They actually fixed it up recently with happ parts so it all works out a well.

Though minor comp there are some peeps who know what there doing.:wgrin:

If I can get boards, I am going to try my best to make CVS2 arcade only again, so just fair warning now, I’m going to seriously look into it, but just as a heads up for console fans, my arcade board is on location right now, and it is a royal pain to uninstall it, so that is going to help your cause with me not bringing it.
