ARCADIA - The team of Justin Wong, James Chen and Mike Ross came out on ... wait, let me rearrange the order of those names. The team of Mike Ross, James Chen and Justin Wong came out on top during Friday night's Dreamlab 3-on-3 tournament, outlasting a host of other competitiors.

I made that switch because it was James and Mike that did most of the work on the team, allowing Justin to relax for the night. Justin had to play the role of closer only one time, and that was during the First Semifinals, where he took out the team of Demon Hyo, DJ Vest and Kyo (Tribal Paradise).

Onto the title recap.

Team FFA 2, Team Tribal Paradise 0

Match breakdown
Rounds won: Team FFA 13, Team Tribal Paradise 6
First-hit win percentage: Overall 65.0 percent, Team FFA 81.8 percent (9/11), Team Tribal Paradise 44.4 percent (4/9)
Lead changes: 1

Player of the tournament:
Mike Ross. He didn't drop a round in the four games played (+8), by far the best ratio among the six players in the title match.

Other notes:
Demon Hyo had Team FFA on match point during the First Semifinals. However, Justin rallied back to eliminate Demon Hyo, and then took out the other two players to get his team to the title match undefeated. Had things been a little bit different in that one round, momentum could have gone to the other guys.

Here's an interview with Mike Ross and James Chen following their tournament victory.

On Friday, GameTrailers released three tutorial videos of Super Street Fighter IV, of which the commentary came from Justin Wong. The three videos are tutorials of the Third Strike characters that will be in the new game.

Here's the Dudley video below. Go here for the Ibuki tutorial, or go here for the Makoto tutorial.

The LA Riots III tournament was to take place later today in Los Angeles, and unfortunately, it's not going to happen.

Last night, Gootecks posted a statement on his site, saying the event is indefinitely postponed. Here's a portion of the statement.

I’m not one to do things just for the sake of doing them and have considered other venues, but I feel it’s better to not make any hasty decisions and just wait and see how things out. Just like when someone lands an Ultra on you and you’re close to death, you don’t mash Uppercut on wakeup just because they’re close to you.

One of the more-hyped tournaments in Japan is taking place right now. It's GODSGARDEN 2, a tournament featuring some of that country's greatest competitors.

LOS ANGELES - The LA Riots III tournament has been postponed indefinitely. The word came from Gootecks earlier tonight, who said a situation that came up at the last moment that they had no control over.

The tournament was supposed to take place Saturday at 1 p.m. and be shown at TheStream.tv studios on the Miracle Mile.

Gootecks said he'll make an official announcement sometime in the next 24 hours.

UPDATE: Brian Gramo at TheStream.tv made an announcement earlier tonight that TheStream.tv will be shutting down production, thus the reason for the postponement of the tournament.

LG15 has more from their site:

Evo energy drink had been sponsoring the network; however, the company decided to end its sponsorship prompting Gramo to layoff the Stream’s employees and shut down production. Gramo intends to marshal the existing resources and any future donations towards revamping the Stream’s studio. The plan is to equip the studio with professional grad equipment then rent it out during the day as a way of supporting the Stream’s nighttime slate of original programming.
