Official Live Event Competition Thread

[Kenetic NRG]

Hey guys, thought I'd make a post and just inform you guys on everything going down this week and answer any questions.

I'll be editing this thread with updates and a few pictures (If that's allowed) once we get to Vegas.

Here's what I know so far -

Live Stream on YT - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdQmM_Q0_o0

Twitch Stream - https://www.twitch.tv/easportsufc

Semi's and Finals will be a best of one (Unfortunately). Fighters used for BOTH matches will be Edgar vs Aldo.

Coin toss winner can decide if they want first fighter pick OR they take red corner and get counter perk selection (Overlapping perks are fine, but you can watch what your opponent takes and pick based on that)

We will be cornered by either Stipe or Weidman (One for each competitor)

Playing on the 'Hall of Fame Stage' at the Fan Expo on Friday, starting at 1:30 PST.


General LEC Info

LEC was an in-game tournament mode put together around two months ago. There were two qualifying events on each console, with the winners given a trip to Vegas and UFC 200 (In total, 4 people won: Myself, Zhunter90, Afro Killz, Iron Shariff)

First matchup will be Zhunter vs Afro, followed by myself and Iron_Shariff. Winners will play immediately following the semifinals.

If anyone has any questions post here and I'll do my best to keep you updated.

Stay tuned!

Re: Official Live Event Competition Thread

Have you guys found out which console the event will take place on?

Re: Official Live Event Competition Thread

Best of one, and you can only use either Aldo or Edgar?

Man, what a bummer.

Either way, good luck, and please destroy Sharif. Thanks in advance.

Re: Official Live Event Competition Thread

Best of 1 is just ridiculous. Such a long commitment and so much goes into it.

Seriously EA, if you can change this before it happens, make it a best of 5 like every other competitive video game tournament out there

I'd rather it just be Aldo/Edgar than Cormier/Jones. Whoever got Jones on the coin toss would have a huge advantage. Props to EA for fixing that.

Yeah.. Zhunter and I were really pushing for a bo3

PS4. Can use an adapter to use a XB1 controller though.

Re: Official Live Event Competition Thread

Why did you choose to do the event on the PS4 when you're primarily an XB1 guy?

Honestly I'm just curious. Do you think the PS4 community is less skilled than on XB1?

I was at around 150-0 and had Afro & Zhunter asking me to try and win on PS4 so they had a better chance on Xbox. I decided to try a run even though I haden't touched PS4 in a few months and the run went well


I think the best 5 players on the game are on Xbox but PS4 definitely has a higher average skill level (there's less elite players but a lot more good players).

Re: Official Live Event Competition Thread

I made a thread about making it a best of 5, but was told to post it here.
The 4 finalist put in time and work to make it to the finals. EA is putting in time, work and money to get them there to make this happen. It needs to be a best of 5 for each match. What a waste if not.

A best of 3 would be soooo so so awesome. Oh well. I think it's a timing issue.

Re: Official Live Event Competition Thread

Don't forget to abuse hit stuns all the way so gpd finally sorts that crap out. Good luck mate.

Re: Official Live Event Competition Thread

Yeah they probably can't fit all of it in the UFC streams schedule.

Still, what fighting game tournament only goes with a single match to determine a winner? And those are fighting games without random elements like this one will have.

A very bad idea and a little ridiculous considering the long road it has been towards these finals.

Re: Official Live Event Competition Thread

Cool man have fun and best of luck

My trip to Vegas for Fight Night was epic and I'll always remember it; your trip is even better w/ the UFC 200 passes and what not!!!

I sort of like Best of 1 --- just like a real fight; it's all on your shoulders and one slip up can cost ya everything (or win ya everything)

can't wait to watch the fights live --- I'm sure I'll see a lot of ya on the twitch stream lol

LOL

while I'd rather see some good, technical, fun fights ---

you're right, he DID say that if hit stuns were abused in the tournament they may re-think them... lol
