That was wayyyy too long. See, i missed the first part and had to go through ALL of it just to read it, but I wasn't expecting it, and missed it AGAIN, and had to go through the whole process again just to see it. Bah! :-P

In any case, I heavily agree with Tesh. Videos ASAP for this would make me happppppppyyyyy!

yay @ 3rd seed when the other random Mr. Eric gets a 3rd seed as well?! come on..
Cable, Shadow, Ikon. Super shakes my head.
There are 80 pools. The difference between first seed #1 and first seed #80 is pretty big. Same with 2nd seeds, though quite a bit of those are defaulted international players.

I'm trying to determine the hardest pool, but it's a bit iffy. However, easiest pool?

@Azen, I know you won't ever read this, but I'm totally preemptively taking the blame for us sucking **** in teams/

I'm actually pretty surprised Azen and Chillin didn't team, I just now noticed that.

Mink, if you want. I'll play you Friday at the hotel to help you with the GaW match up. (:

Also, as the pools are now, are they in seeded order? Like. I'm second in my pool, does that mean I'm considered 2nd seed?

I think he's randomly funny since he's always so confused :3

:017:
Confused about what? And that's ''she'' not ''he''. Thought I'd post this again since no one probably saw this last night.

I get that the staff probably won't want to change anything now. But I think having USA VS WORLD Exhibition is a bad idea so early in the tournament.. I just think it's going to be really disheartening to all the foreign players (who are already pretty sure they are going to lose the crew battle) to lose in front of the entire Apex audience. It would be demoralizing and they perform worst in the actually tourney because of it.

Crews are often done after the tournament(or right before top 8) to avoid this. If you remember the 5 on 5 exhibition matches at Canada-Cup they finished it after the tournament was done. This is even worse because unlike the Street Fighter community(who still usually do crews really late in the tournament) the foreign players aren't expected to win everything. Anyway we can change the exhibition to right before top 8 or after the bracket?

So the wedding I'm going to was originally Saturday but got moved to Friday this week, and it just hit me that in theory I could fly out for day 2.

What's the nearest airport to the venue? I'd be flying out of New Orleans.

Just looked up prices. It'd be over $800 for me to fly there alone. :/

For anybody that doesnt know:

FGCU is a college in Florida that gave 6 scrubs, 1 below average, and 1 mediocre player THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS to come to this tournament.

Viper is the mediocre one
Megalodon is the below average.
The other six are atms.
