Congratulations to the top 3 in MK9, I’ll be adding that to the post as soon as I get the full results. A very nice 16 player turnout for the NJ local scene we’re building, and looking forward to more, and bigger tournaments to come. Remember players, MK9 is a monthly event at YesterCades Red Bank Rumble. Next up on the train ride of the FGC is dual weekend tournament, Summer Jam and MLG Raleigh August 25th and 26th, so make sure to reserve your hotel rooms, wherever you choose to go. KombatNetwork will be running MK9 at Summer Jam, along with UMK3 and MKII, possibly all on Saturday since we’re expecting an overall light turnout due to MLG being on the east coast on the same day. This opens the chances up for players who typically place between 9th and 17th to win this tournament and take home a few hundred dollars, so players who don’t expect to win MLG and don’t want to travel quite so far, Summer Jam is the tournament to be at for the summer.

As I’m sure most of you have heard, the legendary venue for Season’s Beatings, Momo2, is closing here in Columbus on July 31. A sad day, yes, but now its time to open a new door in the long running tournament franchise known as “Season’s Beatings”!!

(as taken from the Official TYM thread for SBa)
Season’s Beatings: The Mecca of Marvel and Origin of Brokentier IFC Yipes’ “IT’S MAHVEL BABY!” Now in our sixth year of All-Star players and Dream-Team Special Events, for 2012, Godlike Entertainment – Chris Hatala (Ghaleon) and Harmon Tam (nomrah) – brings you Season’s Beatings: Ascension, featuring:

*U.S. vs. The World (Marvel vs. Capcom 3, 5-on-5 Special Exhibition)
*FGC “All-Star” roster of tournament talent and star power, across all games
*Special events and guests as we confirm them
*Free Season’s Beatings shirt and SBa dogtag for paid competitors
*Giant tournament and casuals areas
*Cleveland hotspots to eat and drink

IT HAS BEGUN: A new chapter opens in FGC history as we rise from the ashes of our beginnings and ascend to stratospheric heights, with a new venue and more epic events.

As TYM & the MK community knows, Ohio is home to some of the fiercest Mortal Kombat competition in the country. Two-time EVO champion Perfect Legend calls Ohio home, and Tim Static is a pillar of the MK community.

SB has been a prime spot for MK as well, going back to SB 2009-2010 arcade UMK3 tournaments (with 2010 being on the main stream!), and now with MK9 we look forward to giving you the hypest tournament we can. Please hit up Tim Static with questions as he is our main point man for MK!
