UFC 135 is on the 24th god dammit…tournament organiser should check with the ufc date
I honestly think with the amount of juggling they have to do with other tournaments and getting sp00ky down, UFC really isn’t that big of a deal.
Fair enough.
I think you could of gone about it a better way, thats all.
I think 5 bucks is pretty good if thats all it takes to help out of towners to come to our tournament. I mean what other times are you gonna see them other than spending $250+ for traveling costs and such. Also if it helps the scene then it’s a win win situation.
Never seen anyone flip flop this many times. Maybe you should team up with neorussel for AE, since you were looking for a team. You can call yourselves NeoAsshole.
And mr ordona, you come off as shady/dishonest as you still haven’t explained why you wrote “High Profile players we are helping to bring”. You did write that, didn’t you? You can’t just say “oops, I didn’t mean to say that” and hope that we forget. You say you ate the costs of too many T tournaments? I don’t know my T history too well, but isn’t this the second T tournament you are organizing? I find it hard to believe that you’ve lost THAT much money running T11 at Dice’s venue… If anything at all, it must have been much much less than the cost incurred for T10.
By the way, as OG legend Heero pointed out, aren’t Sabin and Nerdjosh part of team spooky? I have no problem with them coming and all, but Vince clearly said “No Player is getting paid”
Also, what kind of tournament director puts himself as the main attraction in his trailer? Featured player for 3 games? really? I guess you’re really feeling yourself after winning those 10-man tournaments.
and finally, you say that you don’t want to lose money off your tournaments. Well that’s great to know, because that’s exactly what you did to MTL by having a tournament on the same day as our LanETS tournament, even though we had announced it 2 months before.
Hve: I don’t really know what to tell you anymore. I’ve said my peace already. It was mistake on my end to put that incorrect information, if you don’t believe me, then ask Killacam. I don’t know what hatred you have against me but I know i’ve done my fair share for this community for the past 5+ years. People know that i’m not here to take their money. Is it too much to ask to not lose money this year for running an event that is to please people like you? Your right about not knowing your T History. I’m here to bring the best players in a room and get great matches out of them. I’m sorry if i didn’t look at the date for Lanets before but I was thinking of our Region. I said sorry many times about this to CrankyPunk, did you forget? I make mistakes (i’ve made many) but clearly I deliver. I hope that I can safely say that there are players out here that appreciate what I do. All i’ve been to everyone is to provide honesty and fair game so why am I still getting crucified by the likes of you for a mistake that i’ve said that is not true. The trailer showcases local players and i’ve won my fair share of tournaments so I put my name there. I happen to be really good at those 3 games so I wanted people to know that. Fine, it’s a self feel but so what, it’s not a lie. I am the type of player that likes to brag about his accomplishments, is that bad? I don’t really know what you have against me and i do hope your opinion of me changes one day because you always bite my head off with EVERYTHING I post. I understand the rest of the peeps but you seem to be taking things more personal than them. I’ve said this before, i can’t please everyone (you) but I know I treat them all with respect and fairness. I really hope we can put this behind us and continue on with the discussions for T12.

+$5?
fuck this noise… that’s a large poutine at smoke’s… i can’t afford this shit, my allowance can’t cover it… i am obviously not in it to win it so i gotta pinch pennies… i’m out boys, i’m out…
Azure.Fighty.Nigg
PS. Shoutouts to Nagata Lock II for correctly pointing it out… better to keep kids in the dark… then having them grasp blindly at words and/or phrases…
**PPS. I heard that most of the $5 will be going towards paying Mr. Trite to come out of retirement… fucking diva… **
HVE: without revealing the confidential nature of our agreement with spooky, i can tell you that your assumption that we are paying Sabin and Nerdjosh etc. to come is incorrect. However please remember Team Spooky is not a one man show either and his staff are subject to the same arrangements in order to have them stream T12.
As stated before Russells previous comment about paying players to come was posted in error. I can say with confidence that the comment from Russell was posted in mind to make you as players feel that the extra 5 dollars we have asked for holds more value. That said steps have been taken to remove said false comment and address your concerns. once again I will clarify that no players are being paid to come to the tournament and only the necessary arrangements have been made in order to make this event as big of a success as possible.
Thank you for trying to understand,
Vince
Neorussell, please raise the entry fee a 3$ more to bring me, Snafoo and Chi-Rithy, thank you!
Neorussel: no one will appreciate u bringing top players from other regions cuz ppl have no interest in competing. imo i don’t even see a point bringing team spooky since no one cares about exposure or getting better.
Freddy: haha. Nice one. I’m sure people from Toronto would make it worth MTL’s while to come. We may have our beefs but we are all compadre’s here. Hope to see you guys at T12.
JS: I’m gonna call it now, our future lies within the young’ins. I’m sure they will make us proud one day. They have the fighting game spirit that some of us once had.

Sponsor Announcement
We thank them for being a part of T12. They will have a booth on site to showcase their items.
In regards to MvC3 TEAMS only:
-You CAN change the order of your team throughout the tournament. Seems to be the rule used in Summer Jam and players didn’t contest it.
-I also want to clarify cause it gets asked so much. Duplicate Characters allowed in MvC3.
-Team member uses Phoenix, you can also use Phoenix.

Mike,
The only players being “paid” to come (by paid I mean their transportation and accommodations being taken care of) are the ones I have personally paid for myself (to be revealed soon). I do not get reimbursed for any of my expenses in doing this, so do not start assuming i get a cut of this “5 dollar” venue fee hike. Since this is most likely my last major, I figured id try and make it as competitive as possible. While i do not agree at all this what Russell typed, I know for a fact it was more a typo then anything since, as i have explained above, the only money being laid out besides taking care of spooky, is on my behalf.
All US players that will still have to pay venue and tournament fees as well.
Why the fuck are you quoting me and saying flip flop in the same sentence. I’ve meant everything I’ve said in this thread, I just dont see any point in making this $5 increase a big deal because I honestly dont give a shit about $5. Why should I be the only one pointing things out when EVERYONE is talking about it on irc but would never say anything in the public forum.
And why the fuck would I team with Neorussel in anything? I dont respect his game no matter how many top 3’s he puts up. Except maybe in sc4
Yo Russell, can I bring a setup for the older games like last year for anyone who wants to play Super Turbo, Alphas, and CVS2? Do you think there will be any space?
Let’s fuck it out. Errr Hug it out.
Turbo2Tone: To run tournaments or just casuals? Regardless, i’ll have to get back to you Mid-September. Right now, the schedule is tight because we added Teams.
NeoRussell
No problem man, it isn’t too important. Was just looking for casuals, so just let me know whenever you can.
Stop reaching for insults cuz its not even funny. Russelll explained himself so get off his balls.
sign me up for this cant wait… people gotta stop complaining about the extra 5… meh!
anyways i just posted an ironman combo vid…
