NorCal is hosting a 150 man tournament this weekend featuring S2J, Westballz, Shroomed, PewPewU, SFAT, Lucky, Hax, Kirbykaze, and many others! There will even be a exhibition Falcon round robin, starring Falcon legends Hax, S2J, SilentSpectre, Lord, and possibly one more.
Check out the stream this Saturday and Sunday at http://www.teamliquid.net/video/streams/VGBootCamp

Really interested to see who wins this. Usually you have one of the big five guaranteed to win a tournament as big as this but in this case none of them showed up. There are a lot of players who could win it I think. KK and Hax are probably the favorites though.

I wish we had liquibets on these!
It will be really interesting to see who takes it home indeed.
I'd say that KK will make it to top 3 or even Grand Finals.
Hax is less certain, as a result of his character choice.
And I'll be rooting for PPU of course.

kk looked super rusty last time I saw him play (michigan tourney iirc). think hax will tap tho, or shroomed wins cause shroomed winning norcal seems standard
|
I thought Shroomed specifically had a reputation for not doing too well on his hometurf?
|
Shroomed generally underperforms in Norcal since everyone is a lot more adjusted to his Dr. Mario. He rarely wins tournaments in Norcal anymore. I wouldn't count him out though he's been using mostly Sheik and Marth lately anyway.

I hope KirbyKaze shows up and takes it :3 He did OK at RoM7.
|
I just remember when he won every tourney including "Shroomed Sucks" dedicated to him. That was yrs ago tho, ppw/sfat and stuff have made a lot of progress.

It's just not a good match for the system tl has in place for starcraft. The closest you're gonna get to liquibets is vgbc's saltybets type thing.
Hax is supposed to be dual maining Falcon/Fox now, so that should be more interesting at least.
Definitely gonna be pulling for my man PewPewU. I need more Marth in my life.

Does anyone have any idea who to ask to get this stream featured on TL? Presumably they are interested in featuring Melee since they picked up a team, and this is the first big tournament since their announcement.

I believe this would be the right thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/website-feedback/281401-featured-streamer-list
But It appears they evaluate the new recommendations monthly so you could even open up a new thread in the website feedback forum if you want faster attention (maybe)

Knowing Liquid there's probably something in the works in terms of Smash news. As for getting the stream featured, read this for submitting an event for the Calendar: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/tl-community/432203-tl-calendar-event-submissions.
I think you'll have to PM a mod to get a feature, maybe Hot_bid, I think he's into smash.
|
Thats dedication, he already submitted it :D
|
I'd love for PPU to do well but unfortunately he hasn't been going to tournaments lately so its hard to get a feel for his current skill level. He also might be out of practice...
|
My favorites to win this are Hax and SFAT.
Can't wait for the Falcon round robin.
|
Falcon round robin HYPE, let's hope S2J does well, he's fallen out of sight the last few years and the top Falcon spot is wide open at this point.
|
|
Westballz has a chance of winning this actually. He's been winning a lot in California recently.
|
I really think PPU can win this. My predictions for top 3 are PewPewU, Shroomed, KirbyKaze. If Hax stays Falcon he should break top 3, possibly win.
|
Is Scar going to this? He should be playing in the falcon round robin! Also Mango!
Good to see this event in the TL calendar, good job.
