League Tournament @ Game Focus, London UK

Hiya!

I've setup a games league tournament in July 5th and 12th 2003, between 11AM - 7PM. Games at the league tournament will be:

Soul Calibur 2 (GameCube)
Tekken 4 (PlayStation 2)
Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution (PlayStation 2)
Halo - Solo Deathmatch (XBox)
Pro Evolution Soccer 2 (PlayStation 2)

Its going to be at a videogames store in London, UK, called Game Focus www.gamefocus.co.uk
They have quite a few new and used import stuff such as Naruto, Inu Yasha, Soul Calibur 2 etc.

Entry fee is £3, 3rd party pads for loan at £1.

Top winner of each game will appear on GamerWeb TV on SKY Digital 268.

Just leave a message if you want more information. Cheers!

 

game focus? you don't mean that super tiny one-floor import shop inbetween casino and computer exchange do you?

how do we all fit in there!?

 

Ya. That's the shop.... How are we gonna fit? Oh you'll see... Its a bit bigger than you think it is...

 

hope the uk vf'ers all come, i need to play some one other then my mates pai at ps2 evo

 

A few from NTSC-UK are coming down for VF4 Evo...

 

who are NTSC-UK?

 

(my first post here by the way)

www.ntsc-uk.com is a site about importing console games in the UK. It is pretty good, and the boards have a few decent Evo players.

 

Interesting,but what about the big guns e.g the wall will they be there.


What about u soi are u gonna come. Oh yeah just do my vfdc duty. Welcome to the boards

 

I'll definitely be there. Out of the fighting games that will be on offer, I'm the weakest at Evo at the moment. I've been waiting for the PAL release as I wanted the tutorial mode to be in English. I've been playing SC2 quite a lot recently, but am eager for some Evo. My sticks are gagging for it...

I've played a bit of Evo at Play 2 Win, but I am basically a begginer. Still, I want to turn up so I can see how the game should be played.

 

IMO it sounds like Dynamic League which is a good idea implemented poorly from which a lot of my buddies are still owed cash *cough* *cough* *Ryan* *Dai* *Delune* *cough* *Yamoto* *cough* *cough* ahem /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gif. Anyway if the Game Focus league system is good and fair people will go, as of right now i'm going to wait till I hear more info about it...............................................

 

LOL... Derrick has the prize money now.. he's available to give you guys the money for VF4 Evo at the tournament dates.

anyway.. for those who cant find the store, here's the video clip to help u on your way:

Game Focus location

 

bout time as well.

I just had a look at the vidand the place looks tiny even from the outside.

 

One more thing can u make sure that the big tv's get spilt equally around all five games intead of all of the big ones being on HALO.

 

unfortunately, there's only 1 big tv now and that's for halo or other 4 player type games like Mario Kart. The other two big tvs are actually Derrick's and Darren's and they are family TVs. The TVs are staying there semi-permanent, if I get the weekly gig at game focus.

Even then, I will have to buy the TVs off Derrick if Derrick start Dynamic LEague again. Plus I will need to spend more money on getting consoles (Again, they are borrowed)

There is absolutely no way I can get Big Tvs anymore for the venue, cause the venue is not big enough and i don't think the tables i'm buying will support it. plus they cause over £200 which I would rather spend on prizes... if i get the funds to...

 

As it happens I should be in London with a mate one of those dates - going to Fabric - so I'll try and get there from some VF.

What's the deal with the two dates? Are all games being played on both days?

 

Ya. the games will be shown on both dates to demostrate the new league system and to test the different types of queuing systems etc etc...

 

im looking forward to it, hope peoples turn up thou 4 evo or other 2d fighters get played at end of day

 

I'll probably stop the scoring at 6pm and let ppl have free reign after that time so I can do administration. I'll probably take some of my personal stuff away though like sticks for safe keeping.

I'm thinking of a cloakroom area, where for £1 i can store you bags and coats in a locked room.

 

I'll be there - I think. Depends if I go to France or not.

Be the first time I play VF4-EVO with a group of ppl. /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

if the right people go, it would probably be normal to be scared right now... /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

j/k, no, really, it should be fun... and no money spending on coin-ops!!
