Hey Shidosha,

Thanks for posting this before I got the chance to. Hey everyone. I’m one of the administrators running the event. I’m sorry the entry fee might seem pricey with admission to the convention.

Aaron and Myself over at NoobTube.tv VOLUNTEERED to run the event. We’re not even getting paid. We wanted to run a bad ass extravagant event for gamers and spectators. We’ve been developing the concept for this tournament from the ground up in terms of design.

We wanted to run it at the convention because that gives us spectators. PLUS, all the sponsors and industry members will be in the building grazing by the tournament all day. The exposure here is huge. I’m trying to do a service to the community by putting exposure, video, live stream, and a professional touch on this Tournament so gamers can start getting taken seriously by mainstream media.

If you didn’t know NBC is a partner in running this convention.

I don’t know about you but I think it’s worth it to be put in a building with all this attention and other professional gamers. It’s going to turn into a huge party.

$35 3-day pass, and $33 to play ALL games if you want to enter all of them. If you use the $9 discount we have on the site, it’s $59. When I can release more information, I’m going to convince you it’ll be worth it :smiley:

OH yeah prizes…

Our Goal is to pay the winner of each bracket $4 -$5k and still give a load to 2nd and 3rd place. Then the King of the Fighters Bracket gets another chunk of that plus gear and were working on getting the winner an endorsement deal. This is all pending and unofficial but these are our goals. We’re still working on it with NBC.

I’ll be there for this tourney! Chaos, lets roll over there together my nig!

12

So is it multiple tournaments for sf4 or only one?

lulz

13

Each game will have an individual bracket with a prize for first. 70/20/10 split

14

no prob

15

I’m reposting this here so people have an idea what they might be paying to get in. I’ll be going to this.
Hopefully it’s a one day tourney, prices for the three day tickets are high.

Then with those prices also add in the discount and entry fees

So if it’s 1 day than the price is
17 - 3 = 14
14 + 12 = 26 + 7 = 33
So it’s $26 if you plan on only playing one game $33 for two. add $7 for any other game.

if the tournament is more than one day your going to want the 3 day pass. This is when it starts to get a bit too high

35 - 9 = 26
26 + 12 = 38 + 7 = 45
So it’s $38 if you plan on only playing one game $45 for two. add $7 for any other game.

So it starts to get a bit expensive around multiple days.

This is pretty much going to end up being a hardcore tournament. You not going to see too many casuals joining this one.

16

So is it 1 tournament spread out over 3 days or just 3 different ones for sf4?

17

lmao

18

hope they keep their word about $25000

cuz you know, there are many scams with fighting game tournament

19

interesting, ill decide once i know more, and everything is clarified

Anyone see this?

Claims that the “King of Fighters” tournament has been postponed.
This is a little confusing because the main GameX site (http://www.gamexpo.us/expo/tournaments/) still has the info up there.
