USA [Aug 28, 2015] Summer Jam 9 - $1,000 in Pot Bonuses & SG Pre-Reg (Essington, PA)

For some context, though, did any of those games get pot bonuses as well?

Smash 4 & Melee each had $1,000. DOA5 had $1,000. 3S had $500. I know I'm forgetting some.

That's all I wanted to know - If SG was the only game getting that kind of support then of course we'd see comparatively larger numbers, but if it looks like several other games got Big E's generous $500 boost and we managed to get more players then it's a nice achievement for the SG community.

Ooookay, gentlemen & ladies... I got back to NY a little while ago, but immediately crashed once I saw my bed. My bad. Anyways, I know I did this last night, but I'm going to do it again (and with gusto, at that): From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely want to thank EVERYONE -- those who competed, those who helped with brackets & commentary, those who flew out, those who were in the stream chat and those who made this wonderful game -- that came together to make Summer Jam 9 such a roaring success!

I know you guys love to give me credit for what I've been doing, but that's just BTS legwork. Each & every single one of you have given life to this revolution. I really want to stress that word, too... revolution. In my humble opinion, "revolution" is the only way that this recent surge for the community. Everyone is taking notice, as they should, because this game & its community are deserving of the attention.

If I may quote "Captain America: the First Avenger" to convey my point that much more clearly, I hold Dr. Erskine's words to heart: 'The strong man who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength.' A little psychologically heavy for a hazy Monday afternoon, I'll admit... but it describes us perfectly. Other games have been tourney mainstays for so long that their players take it for granted. That's not a luxury afforded to us.

As such, every victory becomes both cause for celebration & a rallying cry for the entire FGC to hear. We just beat out a majority of the games on the SJ9 roster in terms of attendance because, above all else, we know how important it is to appreciate the support given to our game. While I know the next couple of months are just busy busy busy for us... I know we can continue riding this crest of morale straight into 2016 & beyond.

Said it before & I'll say it again: As big as SJ9 was, NEC16 is gonna be even bigger... looking forward to see you there.
 
Yo but for real I've never run a bracket before so I kinda got thrown into the fire. Still was all good and might try it in a smaller scale first to learn the ropes. Also managed to get home and sleep a whole 4 hours before I had to leave and am now in another hotel outside Providence. Work sucks sometimes.

Also now contemplating my team again b/c my Parasoul really is assist tier. Back in the lab to mix things up. (seriously Fortune with tear shot is godlike, but Parasoul gets nothing with Fortune assists.)

summer jam was awesome, thank you everyone for the awesome weekend and tournament. new your is absolutely hilarious, i was in stitches all weekend up in 211.
shoutouts to @Outlaw_Spike for coming thru with the root beer, @SonicFox5000 for letting me room with him again, introducing myself to everyone i didnt get to at CB, and @Swiftfox-Dash while i took up 80% of the bed sunday. :^)
gonna do my best to make TFC but ill see everyone again at NEC!
 
now that ive been back for a day and had a night's sleep at home, time for shoutouts

@WarpedEcho @Natezer @mcpeanuts for being cool roommates, special thanks to peanuts for driving the NE crew and letting me crash at his place for 2 nights

@Dreamepitaph we finally got to play offline casuals! great to meet you

@SonicFox5000 of course for winning a ft10 13-0 :^)

@everyone in room 211 for letting us party there, it was a great time

Special shoutout to @keninblack for not only running pools but also getting top 4, you aren't washed up homie! (I also appreciated the support in my match vs worldjem <3)

Made more of a effort this time to hang out with people (whether it be hanging out in 211 or cheering for SG players in non-SG games) rather than just awkwardly hang around the setups like I did at CB, and as a result I had a lot more fun this time! Thanks to everyone who came out, see you all at NEC!
 
I
AM STILL
ALIVE!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Fun tournament/10, even though I'm kinda sick of Big E events because of how they ALWAYS run. With everything being late, SG being on ps3, late reg was a blow up. Not sure if anything could have been done about it, and I didn't even get my medal for winning SG this time ;__; oh wells

See you guys at the next tournament!
 
It wasn't your responsibility though. If the community(you, elky, etc) has to do everything themselves then we should be told that ahead of time especially when we asked :/

For NEC we can just easily make it PS4 we have the setups. So i'll talk to E about changing that.

The medals thing was just ugh i'm sure we got it at NEC

The onsite thing will not happen again I'll make sure

EC Tournament Standard time is unblockable rip
 
I was seeing some videos on youtube of the pools...

There was this Solo Valentine, that was doing some really cool stuff. It seems that he was not in top 8, so, since i couldn't find, who took him out?

Outlawspike, cant remember who sent him to losers but he lost in losers finals of the pool in a close set vs TJ. Went to game 3 it was pretty sick.
