In the meantime, live from an eyewitness:

Classy!

[Rutana]

Congratulations to 4th place!

And in addition to some statements earlier in the thread:

No, we won't get Ninja Update next week, kRO will have it first and test it first, so no way we'll get it prior to them
And no, Gunslinger Update isn't even in discussion yet. Stop asking when we get it, it's not even in real developement right now!

And... there's another thing I wanted to comment on, but I forgot...

Big Lol though to KoreaLagrea

The champ battle royale was much more interesting than the actual tournament imo

[Heimdallr]

Damn Heim poseur.. I asura you I was first..

I was not the Commentator you were listening too. I was on stage at times, but I doubt the cameras ever peered back into the darkness to find me staring back.

We did get 4th, but we underachieved and ended up with 4th.. Looking at the play method and the little challenges we had to face I have no doubt that actual game skilled we were the best. But we were not used to that tournament setup and that added a mental flub or 2 that ended up costing a set. I won't say that we were a shoo in for 1st, but I will say I am certain that next year teams will be sweating when they draw our number. The long delay between Taiwan and our Thailand took a greater toll on us mentally than it did for Thailand, maybe it was jetlag or just not having as much "toughening up" as Thailand had in these sort of Tournaments.

The 3rd set we had against Thailand is the 1 match that we really lost, the others from watching really close I could see where it was that we beat ourselves. No excuses though, that day wasn't our best, and if it were our best we likely would have the teams calling us cheaters for how bad they got schooled.

Personally, I think the Cloak Fist made the entire thing worth it... Even if we didn't win.

[Wiggles]

Host it in the US next time so you get home team advantage.

I think the tss stun then fist trumped that one

[Hrishi]

umm...... seriously I'm speechless

[MangoKing]

Even though we didn't win 1st, special thanks to Heim and whoever else for setting up to sakkray server for us to practice as well as any other players/teams that helped us practice. Korea is a awesome place, especially the food. The hotel was nice and food was great there too(I have to state again how awesome the food was!)
