Now, I was SUPER salty not able to attend SS1 last year. I blaming on Ali & Co for announcing it too late because I was away to HK and just got back. Only if I knew earlier
As SS2! Man - The BIGGEST AU tourney in Australian history man. I enjoyed it every second. Yes, including my nap at the sofa... lol
*Now, there were two more version of this photos that I would rather NOT post here. Thanks to kientan (Melvin) made them NSFW (kinda). If you really and really want to see it, go and check out Foreverplay (Peter Lay) Facebook page!
Hype moments1. Juri, Yun and Fei Long Cosplay man... Chris, you are so sexy!
2. Mago vs Mike Ross!
3. SSF4 Finals for sure. Uppercut, uppercut, uppercut, command throw, command throw... lol
4. Syd > Melb - Rekka Chants part. Furyblitz, you are the bomb!
Disappointments1. Mago jumps in for no reason - Mike Ross' Honda was fully charged with S/U!!! Holy cow!
2. No Kokujin!!!!
3. 3s setups
4. MOV didn't win 3s
Supreises1. As per GodlyEffect, Some Random and I + Andru had bad time on separate occasions at this Chinese Noodle place next to Blue House. Also went couple other place in Chinatown. Absolutely no services. WTF~
2. Pongko chugged the Red Bull, I was like WTF? Is he sponsored by them?
3. MOV so gdlk in SSF4 Ken. Killed Humanbomb TWICE!
Funny moments1. Gamerbee's button check in the top 8... ROFL~ GG~
2. Humanbomb is aka HumanBieber XD
Constructive Feedback1. Given the size of the bracket. Please use electronic version rather than hand-writing. Unless you are a human type-writer, then anything else is a pain to read. Oh, use a projector because the display area was not bright enough. I know, that place already the brightest in the room
2. Poor Chris Ho & Co yelling the whole days. I personally can relate to this as I have done this in many OHNs previously. This ain't fun when the whole thing took... how many hours? 11 or 12??
Chris - you are the man. Without you & co, the preliminary could possibility more that 12 hours! Next year, make announcements and have all pool participates present before starting. Any latecomers push them to later pools if you want to be nice or simply DQ
Many tournament stations were unoccupied. Better plan can significantly reduce running time. Like electric excel brackets allows you quick switch between pools.
3. 3s disappointment. It was disappointing, but shit happens.
I guess better backup plan should have considered for it. The only backup was A PS2 & A cabinet to cater 3rd largest group (followed by SSF4 & MvC3). Luckily, nick_cc went home and brought another PS2 setup.
Oh, I MUST SAY. The PS2 sticks were shit. Honestly, MOV was so salty that he can't pull out shit. I was salty for him too! I'm serious, the stick were SHIT. Profound sadness!
Above are my constructive feedback. The event was great and well organised. However, due to the huge numbers, the event did not run as smooth. Given a two year old baby, my honest opinion is a successful event.
Shab - Next time attend it and then make your judgement
Last thing I want to point out and praise SS2 organisers is their ability to secure guests 1 month before Evo. Honestly, if I were any of the international guests, I would rather save the money and fly direct to Las Vegas. So well done Ali & Co.
Shout outs to NZ attendant - Gankatron!!!! I'm sorry your bro Jacksmash couldn't make it
Oh, did I say, I love the cosplays?
