Jun there'll be plenty of other tournaments that weekend, so don't let missing 3v3s put you off going.

Jun_DP101

oh I'm definitly going, I'm just really sad I'll miss the team tourney. Oh well... Still hype for this though!! ^^

Naphiel

Anywhere I can find a timetable for this?

Jun_DP101

Website's not that great, http://www.worldgamecup.fr/ click on tournaments, then click on the game you want to check about, and the times will be there. There's no actual timetable made yet afaik

Naphiel

I'd miss the team tournaments since I'd only be able to fly out on the Friday and come back on the Monday because of college. Would still be able to enter all of the solo tournaments I want to.

I'll see if I can get the money to go to this.

ladnopoka

so found out some stuff about mk at this,the winner of the vote in for final game

tourny is capped at 35 players (in a vote that had 90+ for mk?)
only the top two will be streamed (what?!?)

dont know if u can secure a spot via there site but if you cant you might go to france to be told tourny is full,
with the low amount of entrants the pot would also be very small so even if you won 1st place ya would still be major in the minus, money wise,that is if u even get one on the 35 spots, what were they thinking???

going to end up being a 35 man local french tourny because who'd travel for that?

No trailer yet, but our friends & partners at eLive.pro just recorded a LIVE show about the KOF tourneys available at the WGC 2012, a wee thing promising the largest cash-prize pot EVER for a KOF tournament & a lot of (yet undisclosed, but heavily hinted) guest players: ENJOY!

kurama_tengu

@Sairus: Marvel & KOF teams are not restricted by any rules (even the ground rules for team tourneys), one may pick any character he wants at any time (and we've got DLC characters ^^).

@Naphiel: The schedule is still temporary (with the surprises and all), but most of it is already here!
http://elyum-studio.com/wgc2012/?cat=16

@1man3letters: The tourney caps are "soft" for now, meaning they're just here to force people to register early (a thing they should do anyway...), we will open more spots for the most sought after tournaments as they fill up.
It pretty standard stuff, especially with 10 games and 20+ tournaments... ("so little time, so many games...")

And for MK9, we'll even add a team tourney if the solo fills up quickly enough ^^. SPREAD THE WORD!

Voa

Paid and registered.
