    I've far too much uni work to be off fighting the good fight like you guys, but I'll be with you in spirit, and I'll schedule the day so I can support you on stream.

    Have a blast, guys, and show 'em what you got! :)

    I assume everyone's been getting emails from WGC, but just in case you haven't, they're asking to make sure you email them back with your country of origin to help avoid many a civil war in the brackets. Figured it was worth mentioning just in case.

    Yeah, sometimes I look at the older vids and miss the old crew, many a happy night after a tournament in a pub with Chopper, A-trak, Jim, Terry et al...

    Abandoned trains this early in the morning always seem a bit spooky before they leave the station.

    Safe journeys and see you on the plane, mentlegen.

    The brackets for Marvel are up!

    Teams (today, at around 3pm GMT) http://worldgamecup.basgrospoing.fr/files/2013/02/UMVC3-Team-bracket.png

    Solo (Sunday) http://worldgamecup.basgrospoing.fr/files/2013/02/UMVC3-Solo-bracket.png

    Only the top 8 of Singles' and the Top 4 of Teams are going to be streamed, though, with the exception of the 5v5 world team tournament tomorrow morning.

    Speaking of teams, what team names are we under? Do we have enough people for the 5v5, or will it just be today's tourney?

    Nutrient not in the singles bracket? Should probably mention it early to Tengu.
    Seems a decent bit smaller than last time, which is a shame.

    Everyone's afraid of having to face Italian Sim, so fewer people are going.

    i noticed that as well. maybe he is listed as one of the many "Bye"s since there are a few of them both in Marvel and AE.... but looking at it again those might be DQed ppl

    So if Lythero & Voa win their first matches, the winner of THAT match has to face Mago.

    OUCH.

    I hear that someone in top 4 actually lost to an Irish player after dropping a decisive combo.

    Oooh, I wanna hear that story!

    EDIT: Apparently, it was Lythero, after Dieminion dropped a combo on him. :O
