Hi, my name is Glenn and I lead Get Your Tournament. Not only do I like long walks on beaches, oranges and the San Francisco Giants, I love going to tournaments and watching all the action. I hope you enjoy all the interviews and updates. Go here if you want to ask a question about this site or life in general.
The Madden Challenge Finals Tournament is this week in South Florida. The eight best players in this year's tournament series have to win at least four more games to be crowned the champion. All eight players are former regional winners. All of them have lengthy tournament experience, and their thirst for winning is big.
In this entry, we look at the 5 through 8 seeds and see how they got here, plus what it will take for them to win it.
SUNNYVALE - Crow was part of the late out-of-state domination at NorCal StrongStyle 4, as he finished third in the Tekken 6 singles tournament last night.
Crow was held down by both Korean players, Rain and Tongbal Love. Only three players faced both Koreans in the tournament, and they all lost. Crow was the last of the three to unfortunately do so.
In this interview, he talked about the two tough matches, plus his run in the tournament. You can listen to it below.

I had found out this past weekend that Problem signed with World Gaming, and here's the video to prove it. There had been a few organizations that were looking to sign Problem, and it turns out he made his decision recently.
The UGTL 5 tournament title went to Combofiend last night; he came back from the losers bracket and defeated ComboJack in the finals. Onlinetony213 finished third.
Damien aka Dance Grenade spoke to both Combofiend and ComboJack following the title match and talked about their runs in the tournament. You can listen to it below.
SUNNYVALE - The final eight for NorCal StrongStyle 4 are set. It is a mix of international, local and out-of-state talent, so if you're going to be watching on Sunday or following the updates, there should be someone you can cheer for as they try to win the Tekken 6 title.
Here's the scheduled matchup for the final eight and how they stack up going into the match:
Winners Bracket: Crow vs GM; Insanelee vs Tongbal Love Losers Bracket: Filipino Bus Driver vs Rain; Suiken vs Slips
Filipino Bus Driver Region: Southern California Record: 5-1 Opponent win percentage: .655 (19-10) Next scheduled opponent: Rain
GM Region: New York Record: 5-0 Opponent win percentage: .608 (14-9) Next scheduled opponent: Crow
Insanelee Region: Northern California Record: 4-0 Opponent win percentage: .650 (13-7) Next scheduled opponent: Tongbal Love
Rain Region: Korea Record: 6-1 Opponent win percentage: .692 (27-12) Next scheduled opponent: Filipino Bus Driver
Slips Region: St. Louis Record: 5-1 Opponent win percentage: .667 (20-10) Next scheduled opponent: Suiken
Suiken Region: Southern California Record: 7-1 Opponent win percentage: .555 (20-16) Next scheduled opponent: Rain
Tongbal Love Region: Korea Record: 4-0 Opponent win percentage: .619 (13-8) Next scheduled opponent: Insanelee
Other notes: Out of all the players these final eight faced in the tournament, only two did not win a match. Six of Rain's seven opponents won at least three games, and he was sent to the losers bracket by GM. Bottom line is that these guys had nearly no "break" opponents and were tested all day Saturday.

SUNNYVALE - I'm here at the Domain Hotel for Day 1 of this weekend's StrongStyle 4 tournament. It should be a great one, with competitions in Tekken 6 and Tekken Tag Tournament.
I'll be focusing more on the Tekken 6 side of the event, with updates from that tournament coming often here on this page and our Twitter portal. Refresh this page for updates.
Be sure to watch the broadcast, being provided by iPLAYWINNER. Check it out here.
With Strong Style 4 just a few days away, I preview the tournament with a couple players scheduled to attend: Aris and Rip.
On this podcast, we talk about the importance of this tournament, who some of the contenders are, the impact international players Rain and Tongbal Love will have, and how Southern California will fare.
It's a hefty podcast (more than 10 minutes), so sit back and enjoy as Aris and Rip give you their thoughts.
By the way, if you want to watch the broadcast tomorrow, be sure to check out the guys at iPLAYWINNER, as they'll have live video from the event. We'll be around doing updates, interviews and pictures of the tournament.
Here's your chance to get on the mic for Devastation 2010. The tournament organizers are asking for people to help provide a voice in all of the competitions for this year's tournament.
We are going to select several members for each game to participate in the broadcast both for back-up reasons (stuff happens, right?) as well as we may be able to develop some synergies between the various commentators. Guest commentators will sit along-side djWHEAT and the Live on Three crew and help commentate on matches, be involved with pre and post-game interviews, special events, and more. If you are selected for the team you will be on the hook to show up and be available for the broadcast… but we will cover those details when we get there; we imagine you would not nominate yourself if you did not want to actually come and take part but stranger things have happened. Know this: if you ask to be considered you are, in fact, committing to take part in the event so if you are not sure you can come it is best that you do not try out.
Here is the current roster of games for the tournament:
You now have the opportunity to vote for the final Evolution 2010 event. The tournament organizers said a seventh game would be put on the roster, but it's up to the fans and players to decide.
