CL wants to go to Final Round. Help much?

ASSIST! 韓国の炎が西を焼き尽くす夢を見ている！
-  (Assist! The Korean Flame that Dreams to Blaze the West!)

Current Code International - Arc 1

"Top of Mountains, flat of plains.
Over the sky, under the water.
Clouds of Heaven, depths of Hell.
Boundaries of what we See are forced to falter
by the boundaries of our Dreams."

- Korea is an Eastern Force of the Melty scene and is headlined by one of the best players in the World: CL. After years of fighting in the most grueling of arenas in the East, he sets his eyes on the Western Land! But a horrible predicament has occured!

As it has always stricken many players before him, money has become an issue for the young lad from Korea.

Be that as it may, the Korean son has not given up no land to his current status. The dream must live on!

As the Korean son begins his journey over the sea, the west are notified of his incoming arrival and begin to assist his incoming. Why would they do this? What is the meaning behind this? Is this the west's idea of giving the east a helping hand?

The stage is being set. The players are starting to take places. The Fight is about to commence! Let not one dream be overturned from such dire situations!

Your answer? In a future, near. The outcome? 6 months.

Goal for his ticket is $1448.
So yeah, CL needs some help getting to Final Round in March. Help the brother out. Spare some change.

Planning on donating at least 20 a month for him.

IIRC, Brandon told me that CL is planning to get at least half of his ticket paid for, so I believe we're aiming more for $724

I really like this one & don't forget about the Korean Inferno John Choi too 
On a serious note, I'll probably be donating like $10-$20/month, it's all I can dish out since I'm so poverty ATM.

I'll be able to start pitching in when I start collecting unemployment...and that should be next week.

Oh good, that way it's like America itself really is paying for CL to come.

I hope he wasn't expecting it any other way.

Somehow, I can see this thread ending up on some FOX NEWS REPORT:

"In another example of how lazy, unemployed people abuse their unemployment entitlement, an unnamed African-American out of North Carolina was using his unemployment payments not to pay bills or to buy groceries, but to fly foreigners halfway across the world to play videogames and have gay sex."

Quick, move this thread into Sacchin Toast so they can't find it!

Fix'd.

It's not like they give a damn what we do with it anyway so....

[Komidol]

I'll be donating by picking up the room.  Tell CL he can stay for free.  It'd be nice to see our community really do something that helps other people in the melty-sphere of influence.  It'd gain us a ton of recognition but in general be really fun.

[Synyster Spirit]

Should I make a poster for this?

[ehrik]

I recommend changing the thread title btw, dunno how to fucking read those moonrunes

Donated 30 just now

[LoliSauce]

Requesting thread name change to something sensible like "Donation thread: Help CL get to Final Round!".

Also, not to be condecending, but why Final Round?  Do you guys have a CC cab I don't know about?

Changed.

I explained to CL that FR would probably be the biggest tournament in America for CC this year (except possibly NECXIII), and even if it isn't, it helps us get into Evo and other majors throughout the year and would do a lot to promote the game.

He's super hype to go but money is a huge problem.  By this time he'll be graduated from college and looking for a job, so school shouldn't be a big concern.  I told him he should be prepare more than half of the funds required, meaning America will have to cover at the very least, around 700$ of his trip (that's just half of a cheap plane ticket, not other costs). 

I explained to him how important this was for international status of melty blood, and he's really up to supporting it and making it hype.  I also told him he should return donations if he can't go in the end, which he told me understood.  However, if something happens, remember you are donating money out of your own pocket and trusting CL to return the donations.  I think I'm going to wait for the game to actually come out before donating, personally.   

As for Final Round, like Zar said, we should be blowing this up months in advance and not waiting for the game to do so, however.  There's a couple tournaments coming up in the next couple weeks, right?  Blow it up you guys.  Talk to people.  Make posters.

do you guys know CL or owe him something?  because if this is a case of "let's randomly pay a thousand bucks to fly a stranger who's good at mb from asia to usa" why not offer to the best japanese players in the world with the most name recognition?  if you explained it to them, i think anyone would "want" to come with 6 months of notice and their ticket paid for them with a good chance at winning hundreds to a thousand in pot money; may as well maximize the hype with the highest level mercenary.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't CL one of the first people overseas that wanted to come to America and play Melty at a tournament exclusively but couldn't due to money problems?

I just read this & why didn't I notice it earlier, it sounds so hilarous.
