If you are interested in attending and/or entering any of the tournaments, feel free to post with your intentions. If theres anything you'd like to ask regarding the tournament, or if theres anything you'd like to suggest/see at this LU, don't hold back.
Depending on how long the tourneys run, Free Play may be on for an amount of time after the tournaments have ended. There are food spots within the area, and directions to the arcade will be posted up soon. The results of this event will be taken and scored to start off this year's ranbat scoring. I have two cameras for recording tournaments, but I will need many more if I want to get everything completed recorded.
The second Lolifest in most likely a series of monthly tournaments, I'm striving to make the tournament much better with every month. Last LU, things didn't start on time, and confusion as to who was running brackets made tourneys drag on. I am learning from my mistakes, and I hope to fix the things necessary to make this second LU even more enjoyable.
The newer games being added to the line-up is Marvel vs. Capcom 2, SC3, and GGAC. SC3 is tentative right now because I'm not sure what the turnout would be for it. GGAC is also tentative because at the time of the first Lolifest, the PS2 cabinet was not available for usage. In order to make sure that these games can be run, I need to get an estimate on how many heads would show up for SC3. I would also need to make sure the PS2 cabinet will be available for usage at the time of LU2.
Date may be changed if random winter weather shows it's face / any other major tournaments run the same weekend. I hope for a great turnout this time around, and don't hesitate to tell those who might be interested about this event!
