Calling all Singapore VF5 players

Re: GOgoGO

Eh, think you need to walk walk abit sometimes, cause they do go for dinner on their own. I'll try to make it down friday. SMS me or something, since this week I'm working "normal" hours (thank heavens! no more 6.30 am shift...)

Re: GOgoGO

and you always sit till the seat gets hot

 

Re: GOgoGO

yea nex time must install heatsink

 

Re: GOgoGO

Hmm... they took out one of the VF5 machines ? Anyone has any idea ?

I've half a mind to propose we move to Dhoby Ghaut X-Zone, but its more expensive there, and I'm not even sure if the machines are even still there....

 

Re: GOgoGO

Maybe they are thinking of installing VF5R!!! That is why the took the other machine out(Just wishful thinking on my part) Don think they have any VF machines at Dhoby Ghaut.

 

Re: GOgoGO

Man,
The machines at Funan now suck big time... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

Anyhow... the VF5 Tournaments for WCG has started... The VF5 tournament held at SAFRA was cancelled because of low turnout (3 registered players of an expected 8-16).

There's another tournament this coming Friday tournament (12th June) held at Funan, and there's currently only 3 competitors, and the WCG guys are looking at 6 players at least to hold the tournament.

I spoke to the Rapture Gaming representative, Shaun, and mentioned that most of us are working adults, so they'll see what they can do to schedule it on Saturday, with the Friday games being held more for the more popular games like DOTA and CS since they have bigger player pools. They might also be bringing over the additional top prize from today's cancelled tournament to the Funan tourney.

And if anyone's wondering, the winner gets an additional "3 day 2 night stay at the Cempaka Villa situated in Bintan Lagoon Resort worth SGD$1,100". Again, this is subjected to whether they decide to bring this prize back for VF5 since there's almost no show for VF5 @ SAFRA.

The prize money thats slotted for Funan will probably remain, but if you look at the probabilities, if there's even only just 6 players, there's a pretty decent chance to earn the 3rd/2nd prize, where:

- 1st is $300 worth of Samsung stuff
- 2nd is $200 worth of Samsung stuff
- 3rd is $100 worth of Samsung stuff

So, for the guys who are still not sure, why not give it a shot ? Chances of anyone getting anything is better than the actual WCG SG tourney man...

Registration and Schedule details are on:

Give it a shot guys.... WCG gave VF5 a slot even with the SF4 mania, but lets not give them overwhelming reasons to take it out permanently (especially if VF5R ever comes out to the console, but its not selected since the "historic" turnout for VF5 was horrible...)

 

Re: GOgoGO

Thanks Rulakir.

I didn't even know about these tournaments! I'm rusty as heck but I signed up anyway.

 

Re: GOgoGO

Heck, you'd probably still be able to murder me to hell dude~

The SAFRA one was pretty darn wasted... Sigh...

To add, for the Funan tournament, I believe you don't have to have a pink IC to take part if I'm not wrong. (Good news for SG Lion /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif)

The National Finals registration for WCG SG (think this one needs pink IC though) is now open. There's still 11 slots for the National Finals, so go ahead and register!

Rules and Regulations:

Looks quite strict siah...

 

Re: GOgoGO

I can't even practice cuz my Xbox 360 has RROD. T___T

 

Re: GOgoGO

Rulakir, if it is 1PM on Friday, then a bit tough liao... hee hee hee.. if the schedule change, might still able to make it... btw, does the player needs to bring their own joystick like last year?

 

Re: GOgoGO

Muscle reflexes dude, muscle reflexes....

Well, the event executive said he'll try to schedule Saturday for us. I tried asking for a confirmed schedule earlier today, but wasn't able to get any, so its a matter of how many players there are now I guess.

We can wait for the final schedule, but then again, if there's too few players, they'll just cancel the whole event, so its a catch-22 situation.

Sticks wise, yeah, we need to bring our own again. Out of interest, anyone wants to try for Left 4 Dead ?

 

Re: GOgoGO

They should at least email to remind participants. I mean...what's going on? Is it Friday 1 pm? 3 pm? Saturday? No idea.

 

Re: GOgoGO

Agree on that... there wasn't any notification of the cancellation of the SAFRA tournament. The expectation is that we have to check the WCG website daily. Its nuts!

Anyhow, the schedule is up:

Click on the VF5 tab at the bottom. We're scheduled for this Sunday, 11 am - 2 pm. Not sure if players can still register on the stop if they did not apply online though. I'll need to find out.

 

Re: GOgoGO

Haaa haa haa.... the registration closed liao... I'll crash-gate on Sunday la....

 

Re: GOgoGO

Lucky it's on sunday no appointments for me yet. if can gate crash i try to get my bros down lol, for fun since all so rusty.
even my joy stick also give up on me

 

Re: GOgoGO

Thanks for the updates so far

 

Re: GOgoGO

Hmm, it still says Friday to me for the group stage. Is there no group stage now?

 

Re: GOgoGO

Well that's lame. You need a pink IC after all to play in the Funan tournament.

Can anyone explain to me how a Singaporean PR has to serve in the army but CANNOT play a videogame?

How does that work?

How is that even logical?

My Gawd...
