Summer Jam Stream info

Kombat Network will be streaming MK9 at Summer Jam 6 barring any connection issues on our usual stream channel, www.twitch.tv/kombatnetwork or click the stream link in the navigation on this site. The current plan is to stream via Verizon 4G provided by “Dawson.”

There will be an 11 AM start for casuals in the MK room, which is usually the first open room to the left of the elevators when you walk into the hotel. Remember to register for the event and MK9 at the door, UMK3 and MKII will have sign up in the MK room.

There is a tentative 12 PM stream start time for casuals, and since we’ll have access to the room Friday night and be able to set everything up this should hold up. Pools will likely start between 3 and 4, more likely 4 as we’ll do last minute sign ups until 3 PM and make pools during that hour. Stream will go in the neighborhood of 12 hours if possible, with potential breaks in the middle. Again, please remember we are doing this via 4G, which we’ve done before with great success. This hotel seemed to have good 4G coverage.

We are planning to run all MK tournaments on Saturday since Summoning and I (Shock) have to leave Sunday at check out due to a personal engagement. There is a chance that Big E will want to stream MK9 top 4 or 8 on Team Spooky Stream Sunday afternoon, and if so I will oblige this request. If in the event that happens, we will run more stream matches for MK9 and more of UMK3 and MKII earlier round brackets for those tournaments.

Also remember that there will be limited MK9 setups available Sunday, so players, please bring extra setups and I will talk to Big E about securing some tables for Sunday. If we run the entire MK9 tournament on Saturday, we may break for MKII/UMK3 Winners, Losers, Grand Finals before MK9 top 8. If any time remains, we will stream more casuals for MK9 following the tournament.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend! Again, good luck to all players attending MLG, take home some big $$$.

Summer Jam 6/MLG Warm Up Stream was a success.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Summer Jam 6 / MLG MK9 warm up stream last night. We worked out all the kinks and I believe we have things well in hand for Summer Jam.
