But the MKs that made top 3 were all the top 5 MKs in North America
M2K, Nairo, Anti, Ally & Trant
& you can't say Seibrik cuz he went mostly Wario(IDEK if he went MK more than 1 or 2 matches)
So its not like MK carried ppl to win the tourney
but like u said u cant overlook ICs... were there any other ppl that "MAINED" IC's other than ESAM(IC's are his 2nd anyways) and Vinnie? Cuz I'm certain if Lain and MEEP came back and more ppl used ICs like they use MK then its a fair possibility that ICs will be placing higher in more tourneys. Not only that but Player 1 was the only skill Diddy Kong main there. If GNes or ADHD went then things MIGHT have been different. PLUS there weren't many other players that are outstanding with their characters at the event. No TRUE Sonic or Wolf representation.
