There are some excellent tournaments kicking off this weekend. To help prepare users for what's happening in the community, we've compiled a list of notable things for East Coast Throwdown 4, MLG Anaheim Spring Championship, South East Asia Major, and the Topanga B League.
ECT 4 is going to the most hyped event since Final Round
ECT4 mad hype!! I think FChapmp is going to take UMVC3 he's been too good.
who cares about the other three? ECT is where it's at. so hyped to see
1) ChrisG hopefully taking a grinding loss using his lame stuff
2)Fanatiq winning the moneymatch and rubbing it in everybody's faces, hahaha
MLG? esports? huh?
@3 Justin doesn't have anything on FChamp now. Champ's Magneto, Doom and Phoenix are the best in the business and Justin hasn't put out any new tech for too long. He's running the same team of Wolv. Storm and Akuma which doesn't offer enough. Champ has got this.
Hey!!! They didn't advertise Marn and Clakey D for the League of Legends tournament
Isn't MarlinPie gonna be at ECT? Everybody is riding FChamp, yet no mention of the man who perfected him at SS?
@ShadowKnight28
I assumed MarlinPie was going to be there, but I wasn't able to confirm it in time for the article, so I didn't include him. If he is attending, Marlin is going to be one of the top competitors for sure.
There's quite a few people who don't confirm in advance and do walk up registration, so that's how come I always try to say, "among others" when I'm talking about who will show up.
@#6
Most of the world cares about 'the other three', dont be so small minded :E
The MarlinPie fanclub can confirm MarlinPie will be in attendance.
Im certain the UMVC3 finals will be PR ROG and Chris G. Now i say this with the most respect towards F.Champ (well as much as i can give, i really cant stand the dudes persona) as his team and recent tourney placings hold him up there but i usually see PR ROG doing him in on the FGTV stream and other then JWong, who has really ever beaten that blasted Chris G Morrigan team? If Marlin Pie shows up im sure he'll shake up the brackets a bit but the dudes a one trick pony. Good shizz for winning the very stacked Shadowloo tourney but what other majors has he won? (i said MAJORS as in where it counts, not the curly mustache or big two minors)
I can't say for certain who's going to be in the finals for a game like Marvel 3, especially on the east coast. The only thing certain in that game is X-Factor, hidden missiles and lots of soul fist.
MarlinPie and MastaCJ need to be on that player list for this article also. ECT will also have several streams going as well, and I will be there live watching it all go down and taking pics/video. Cannot wait.
fRayfRay vs. Fraudnatiq....
Just joking; I don't know who is gonna win, but it gonna be a hype match!
Quite surprised people are expecting much from Tokido..... IMHO he's an idiot for going to MLG over ECT. Had he gone to ECT he could have won AE free for a decent payout, but now he's probably going to be pwned hard in MLG. And before people go "LOL he's going to be paid more for finishing 7th in MLG than 1st in ECT" I hope you guys realize the payout for SCV and KOFXIII has been cut a lot compared to the winter championship. Tokido needs to finish 4th in KOFXIII and 7th in SCV to get 500 bucks each, and he has very little chance of achieving either.
@scytheavatar MarkMan probably wanted him to go to MLG. And I don't think he would've won free, Gamerbee's there, and Justin,PR Rog(Beat him at FRXIV), Ricky, and Combofiend(If Tokido isn't experienced in the Oni matchup)
No Combofiend for MLG :( I thought CompLexity is an e-sports organization, why don't they send the only guy in coL.CC that plays a FG that is on MLG
@ #23
Tokido isn't just some Street Fighter player that's going for the money. He plays a ton of games consistently. I'm not saying he's going to take 1st easy but he definitely has potential to place top 3 or win.
@24 Even if he doesn't win he would have easily gotten top 3 in AE, and would have been favorite to get top 3 in other games too.
@25 He will get pwned, the top 4 of KOFXIII/SCV in SS was quite close and Tokido is significantly but not massively better than J Wong in both KOFXIII and SCV. While the gap between J Wong and the top SCV/KOFXIII players is huge. I think he might get top 8 in KOFXIII but there's no chance he'll get top 4, as for SCV nope he's not going to last long.
So,
like Marvel? Watch ECT.
like KOF, SC or MK? Watch MLG.
like SF4? Watch Topanga.
like Daigo? Watch SEA Major.
Every event will be hyped. Why watch only one?
@#14
Watch Northwest Majors 4 from last weekend, grand finals was Champ vs Rog, Champ won 3-1, 3-0 and made it look SO free, as good as Eduardo is. And only reason Champ was in losers was cuz he went Ghost Rider on Ricky LOL
I think Champ and Marlin Pie are probably the best players in America right now, without anyone really giving them much competition outside of a few lucky breaks from other top players.
@31 to be fair PR Rog and F Champ were playing the grand finals like it's a casual in FGTV, and you shouldn't read too much into it. There's some blatant pot splitting and disrespecting NWM going on. But yeah it's very hard to predict who will win ECT, entire tourney is stacked.
I don't know what I gonna do this week end since I have some college exams foe the next Week. I want to see both South East Asia Major and ECT 4.
I know I will main ECT4 for the hypest Umvc3 and main SEAM for SSF4: AE and SFxT( only to see how they play maybe we don't know how to play the game) I mean I saw Godgardens SFxT competition that Kazunoko Won, It was pretty hype.
ECT baby. I'm lookin forward to seeing combofiend. He's finally started to really play umvc3 again and stopped with kof for the time being.
