That’s right. You heard it here first. On SATURDAY January 9th, the WWL will be hosting a New Year’s Throwdown. The tournament will begin at 9:30 EST / 6:30 PST. This tournament will be our second big event before pool play starts a little bit later that month.
(I would have held this earlier but I’m moving into a new house and my wife really needed my attention to be on packing boxes…)
I’m also happy to announce a twist on this tournament… This will be a 2v2 team tournament! That’s right. The players everyone knows and loves will have to organize themselves into a united fighting force in order to play. Teams must be entered together.
Matches will be played as follows.
Player A1 vs. Player B1
Player A2 vs. Player B2
If side A wins both the series is over.
If there is a split, the winners of the two matches will play to determine who advances. Coaching is not only allowed, its encouraged! The tournament will be double elimination. Your team loses once when the conditions listed above are met. Teams must be entered together and because its a team tournmanet, both players must declare their character in advance. This is the character that will be used in all matches. The strategy comes in when you pick what order to play in. You do NOT have to keep the same order.
Thanks for running this tourney Silver and thanks for all the other WWL events. Your dedication and commitment to this game is awesome.:tup:
Also, is there a reason players like DGV and Afrolegends aren’t in these events? I might have missed it if they mentioned being too busy or whatnot, but possibly they just don’t know? IDK, but maybe PM’ing them might be a good idea. Just a thought to make these tourneys even more mouth-watering.:bgrin: Good luck to everyone.
Darn you Rain, if you only would have kept it on the 2nd. You always seem to know when I am going to be outta town to hold these things. Both Mongolorobokop and I are going to be in San Diego that weekend. There would have been now way that Team Beauty and the Beast (Chun and Blanka) would have lost…
Sup Rain!!! Hey I’ve asked around silently for a partner and waiting for response and I’ll get back to you on this. But I wanna make this event. Keep these things going man!
Hey, I’m a Balrog player and I’m interested in joining! I haven’t played for a while because my stick broke, but I’m looking to get back into HD Remix. Hopefully I’ll get a new stick by then.
Oh yeah, I’m looking for someone to help me take down the good Giefs!
Okay okay okay… whoa whoa whoa… These teams are getting out of hand quick!
Vega / Damdai (Vega / Ken)
Mavrick / Afro (Bison / Boxer) (Not confirmed)
Bruce / DGV (Bruce has a couple options… / Ryu) (Not confirmed)
Thelo / DJI (Honda / Guile) (Team Down… no, they’re Team Quebec…)

If I saw that collection of players in any one location (outside of Evo) I might have just fell over dead… This is going to be amazing!
Also, if you have a team name that you want listed, post or PM me and if you’re in this and I don’t have you listed, please let me know!
I know some people have sent out feelers for teams, please feel free to read through the thread and find someone else who doesn’t have a team yet. This will be tons of fun for everyone!
