The official promotion campaign to drag a player out from JP has begun. We've been keeping them in the know for a while about the upcoming major, and we're setting full sail from here on out. One of the things I need help with is creating a player list of people who strongly intend on going.
The point of this thread will be to impress the Japanese players with competition. If you're up to the cut, post your name and a link to what you consider to be some of your best play. Preferably, the match should be close and entertaining (not you styling on a scrub). If you want to include one other link (such as a Twitter account) inform me of that also.
Also tell me if you want me to put your name into Japanese. For example, GenericSuperHero would be ジェネリックスーパーヒーロー(or, jyenerikku suupaahiirou) or Lord Knight would be ロードナイト(or, roudo naito) to make it easier for the Japanese to read/pronounce. At your permission, I will put your name into Japanese best I can. If the Japanese come to America they will probably call you by this name. If that is not what you want, send me a reasonable Japanese name you want to attach to your English name for promotion.
You have until Friday the 27th at the latest to do this. No exceptions. Very simple. Please spread the word in IRC everyso often.
I will say that
Hare has expressed strong interest in attending. In order to entice the offer of Japanese players coming, I have myself offered to put them into a hotel room, drive them from the airport, and pay their entry fee. If they do attend I will post the amount paid and accept donations later. If people want to share hotel room with me or drive down with me from NJ, that will help just as much as donating. I will save a donation link for after a fully confirmed attendance. I feel this is necessary because even with their room, transport, and tournament fee paid for, and even if they win, they will still probably pay at minimum a 1000$ just because of air fare.
