$300 for a plane ticket is normal.
My tickets to genesis/evo last year were $600.

Only a 9-10 hour drive.. (sarcastic tone)
But The King's Court will be here as well, though we're probably just gonna dish out the money to fly cuz I reallyyyy don't feel like driving for that long.. time is money baby

I will definitely be at this one. If MLG allows it I can see this one reaching the 250 mark easily
why?
Because people only had 2 months to prepare for Orlando, plus Orlando is in the corner of the country which means a bunch of people had to fly to it.
People have had 4 months to prepare for this one and since its in the midwest people from Main to North Carolina to Tennessee to Minnesota can DRIVE to it.

The cap for this event is 256 players.
I can see us capping based on several factors
1. Orlando was a huge success. Before Orlando people didn't even really know what MLG was...now they do
2. Longer time to prepare
3. Closer proximity to the biggest community (EC)
4. In the summer at a time when most people are on summer break (I'm not yet though
)
5. In biggest community in the MW (Ohio)
6. A double header with the Showdown a week later (only 45 minutes from where MLG Columbus will be

I'll be here at all costs.
Just confirmed I'll have off for this! I'm off thursday and friday, but NOT off monday. It was the best I could do. So people that are joining me- see the md/va carpool thread in the BCTR to figure things out. I need to leave by mid day sunday.

To MLG: do you think that a petition might help nintendo get on the ball with live stream? We know you want to provide it to us and were prepared to help fight for it.
TheTantalus
Smash Hero
^^Yeah I agree with this. MLG really needs to make the livestream happen to make the event more exciting. Whatever the cost is will be worth it. Also, we'll help in anyway possible. Between AiB, Gamebattles, Smashboards, and gamefaqs i'm pretty sure we can pull it off
If the cost is legal action against MLG from Nintendo then would definitely not be worth it. Then not only would we not have livestream, but we wouldn't have a brawl tournament all together and it may even ruin MLG.
I did tell Clap about the audio only stream idea. He didn't shoot it down right away and said to talk about it post event.

Well by cost I meant paying nintendo to use their rights for a weekend. I'm sure they could be bribed. Reggie ain't a sap

So I guess I'll start a list for a friendly petition to send to nintendo requesting them to grant the rights to mlg.
If you are interested in this email me your name and location
jakekulinski@themages.com
If mlg would prefer it if I did not do this simply send me a pm.

Why can't there be a stream of the players or of commentators talking so ppl can at least SEE something while their listening to commentated audio?
Any idea when reg will go up for this? I wanna be the first one to buy a ticket lol

is TOp 16 getting into the VIP room with setups and **** at this?
What's The Point
Smash Master
I wonder who will be the first pro to realize they can't go to MLG because the passes sold out?
Guys, we appreciate that you want to help in anyway possible, but I really don't think MLG wants anyone trying to take matters into their own hands.
Its a nice gesture but could you please not do it.

I'll be here for sure! Good luck and can't wait to meet everyone!
But I can't seem to find where the location is in Columbus? So I know which hotel to reserve. XD; Sorry, I'm a little slow!

I think its the combined point totals from both events that determine the top 16.

I wonder if not showing up to Orlando then getting 5th at Columbus will get me into that top 16?
Yeeeeaaaaa

Your not going to get 5th
But even if you hypothetically did. No.
Unless half of the original top 16 don't make it/get bracket ****ed.
Even then you have to watch out for people who say made 25th at Orlando, but get like 7th/8th at this. They got points for 25th that will add on to their columbus placing.

That's fine and why I asked if you guys would be opposed to us (being the community) making any form of action. We will just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best then.
