The hotel rooms/paying for worthless Internet was pretty ass, but the rooms they were actually running Evo in seemed fine.
Biggest issue with LVH/Westgate is the location though. Having to take an hour plus out of the day to hit up a liquor store sucked especially since half the trip was outside in 100 degree weather.
The most entertaining match to me all weekend was probably Mike Ross and Chris G, even if almost nobody saw it. Not having to wait for a playercam to see Chris's reactions are great, as we just watched him get progressively more and more upset as the match went on.
Bonchan should have switched when down 0-2 and tried Akuma or Yun. He can play them both. He just kept spamming fireballs and the meter advantage was 4:1 15 seconds into each match...
Justin/Champ was easily the best match of the day. The entire weekend goes to Snake Eyes vs. Xian.
The Snake Eyes v Luffy match was the most competitive. He obviously knew the Rose matchup better than the JP because of Fillipino Man.
I saw that too with Snake Eyez and Luffy. I only thought Luffy was most scared of Snake Eyez than anyone and you can't really say that about a lot of American play in the past so that was really cool.
The Hotel on the other side of the parking structure charged the same rate as the resorts club room for a suite. The suite had a full kitchen and washer dryer in it
I don't give a shit where Evo is next year I'm staying there.
Thread title should have been: "Bets on open duck season" :/
I'll remember this match for a long time. Good for him.
"Anything but Rufus" lol
Won't be around next year most likely, but first order of business waking up today was plugging in the PS3 and downloading BBCP
Already have the Vita version, but more then anything looking at it as a way to keep myself up on the arcsys style until Xrd arrives. Plus I need an excuse to use that ridiculous PS4 controller I bought.
Edit : This thing for those that weren't there
So I see all the EVO hype covered up the Triforce files and Kappa becoming aware of Arturo/Ricky rofl...OBS should be good tonight.
Well, EVO was crazy.
I fucked up and had no phone/internet in the US. Spent my days standing up, playing games over and over (I can't believe I actually won anything, I even went positive in my SF pool which was literally nothing but a dream).
Vegas is a fun city, America's habits are fucking with my mind way too much (I was scared/embarrassed to refill my cup at taco bell/mc donalds, it doesn't exist here so I felt like a thief or something), some burgers were pretty good (Five guys), surprisingly I didn't feel like taking pictures with any pro players, I just enjoyed playing with them when it happened.
Shout out to that faggot French guy that insulted me because I told him I had never heard of his name and called him "literally who" to his face at the PSG, and shout out to Veloc1raptor for giving me my most fun match of the whole tournament.
Also the streamers made fun of me in the best way possible. And the year I finally go, no other but THE FRENCH PLAYER wins. It's a sign.
I might be back next year if I manage to have a stable situation and get a little better. I'd like to at least get out of pools next time and not lose in semi finals. Twice.
