WCG 2009 Grand Final

I'm Interested to see who will represent Japan & UK this year

and ShinZ? wow he still plays!?

Edit: GO Flash!

 

Group B is stacked.

Doesn't look good for Flash.

 

holy shit. another stacked group for me huh? the luck gods must hate me

all i gotta say is i'll do my best for you all.

**edit** wtf yo, WCG2008 had 4 groups!

 

ShinZ~
Tough guy~~ Actually he's supposed to be the 1st. place in Korea this year, but....

Dae-Hwan Kim, another monster!!! Best switch nation I have ever seen!! He can easily beat me 20 in rows no question....

Forget about the JP player, Flash, you have to handle ShinZ in GroupB first to get into SemiFinal. Dae-Hwan Kim can definiately be qualified in GroupA.

Good Luck bro~

 

Hot damn is that draw one-sided.. I feel sorry for you Flash.

Darius on the other hand gets the easy draw AGAIN

I recommend packing xbox and stuff and training against somebody in there to prepare. Good luck!

ps. Im pretty sure Dan Read aka "UKRayne" (Lion) got the UK slot.

 

So sad the Netherlands aren't sending a VF5 rep this year , would've been awesome to compete! Good luck everyone!

WCG are racist They always give germans and koreans the best draws

 

A pity there are just 2 groups...Group B is incredibly tough.
I should say i was lucky with Group A but these matches there are not going to be easy i guess.

 

I don't really think being in groupB is a bad thing. On the other hand, maybe it's good for Flash. If Flash was in groupA, which means during the SemiFinal he has to face 2 Korean and 1 JP players at the same time!! Plus if the rule was double elimination, I think it's much worse for Flash coz he still has to take care at least one of them in order to represent the 3rd place. However, based on the real schedule here, as long as Flash can get into SemiFinal, it means he almost guarantee the 3rd!!!
Flash, you have to mainly focus on ShinZ!! Basically I think no matter which JP player is coming, he can handle both you and ShinZ. So you have to struggle with ShinZ to earn the rest of the spot in groupB. I also believe ShinZ is going to pick Jacky in that tournament so you need to practice as much as you can now!!(Good thing is you only need to focus on Jacky)
Even this tournament is really tough for you Flash, I still believe you can get the reward finally. Be hyper during every single match and they will not treat you as easy as they thought!

 

I'll try to get information about which JP player is coming this time from my JP friends.

 

I'm also pretty sure Rayne is the UK representative again. I think I remember reading that back in August.

Edit - Yes, he is.

Same for Finnish and Swedish

 

After the group stage it is first to two matches. In the group stage its only one match per opponent, with the 5 rounds. (Unless they have changed the rules) You need to be 150% on point. One match only against Shinz and Japanese and Tetra. Its really the group of death. Good luck.

 

Hey Flash Chief Nothing's impossible!!! Play your hardest and give it your all Son. Don't die with a full clip Man just go all out. If you do face ShinZ you should know Jacky by now. Minimize on mistakes and capitalize on opening and you should be good my friend. Just take your time and take it round at a time. this should be a good event.

 

Shinz Akira was pretty beasty back in the day too. Is it only top two? Group B is horrible. Hopefully its not that 1 match first to 5 rounds rubbish.

Good luck to you all

Yeah Rayne took the UK spot.

 

I still believe it. Fight. No matter how bad things look. Fight. Just like you've been doing. Fight. Every exchange in every round deserves its own focus. Fight. You know how the game works. Fight. The action will slow down before your eyes and every opportunity will become clear.

Fight.

 

Good luck Flash & Llany...have a blast competing with those guys!

 

Good luck Flash and Llanfair...here's something for you both!

i emailed paul brewer about what the tournament format is for vf5 in china, and he forwarded my email directly to the person in charge of the rules. the email went like this:

From: Eddel Dioquino
To: Paul Brewer
Subject: china

"Hey Paul,

Who handles the tournament format for VF5? I’m just curious because I’m hoping it’s not 5 round matches. If so, then the game will be broken and will be in favor of any player who uses the character Shun Di."

From: Shiva
To: Eddel
Subject: China

"Dear Eddel Dioquino.

Each game will have 3 rounds each

And match have to win 2 games first for the match win.

Anyway, thank you for your deep interesting and opinion for tournament rule.

If you have any question email me anytime.

Thank you."

not like it matters for itazan, but at least no one will complain.
