GL to all that are in TT2 Arcade-country only fuck entire continents Tournament '13

[garyoak99]

Can't wait to see who qualifies for the Koreans!

[Punkmafia]

No Europe, not a world tournament.

[skpg]

I believe the Filipino player (AK) is 12-13 year old, unbelievable. I'm rooting for Nobi, and Mr. Naps too. My guess is that Knee, Saint, and Chanel will represent Korea.

[sonken]

damn jimmy looks hella tired in that picture

[Reality]

If by hella tired you mean he looks like a concentrationcamp survivor then yeah you're right

[crucades]

team Scotland still drunk?

[Dr.Bhup]

Here we are pretending that this is exciting. Is there even the slightest doubt that Knee will buttfuck everybody and win this whole thing? No. I called it, anyone wanna bet?

@ skpg

I think it's more likely JDCR than Chanel.

[shiny]

Snake is really pretty.

[janxspirit]

@ Dr.Bhup

I'll take that bet. $50AUD that Knee does not win the global Championship. Works out to be around 280NOK

[clifford ahn]

for Korea it is most likely Knee and JDCR

[Dr.Bhup]

@ janxspirit

Ok, you're on, bro! Who do you think will win then?

Also, how the fuck did you know I use NOK?

[Reality]

Yeah how could you know Dr.Bhup lives in Bergen and looks like Satan with trimmed eyebrows?

[Reality]

I'm interested in the Chinese player. Does anybody really have any clue about the Chinese scene? Not like it's streamed or anything but god dang there's many of those fuckers and they should have that asian dicipline beaten into them from their parents #kappa

[Zack Howler]

My post got deleted because I was cheering for AK? WTF?

[subt-L]

Share your enthusiasm : "The tournament was a lot of fun and I simply wanted to focus on playing my best."

this is pretty much jimmy in a nutshell.

[FatBrotherZ]

how about venezuela tekken players? are they belong?? they are great players too.. but i believe in AK :D

[818]

so kor, maybe saint and junding will represent?

[janxspirit]

@ Dr.Bhup

Not sure who's going to win - I'm just betting that it won't be Knee

[janxspirit]

Hey bro, we still down for this bet?
