Here are videos from the final three matches of the UGTL 4.5 tournament, which took place this past Sunday in Echo Park. Onlinetony213 went on to win the tournament with an undefeated record, after he defeated Shizza in the first semifinals, then Hugo101 in the title match.
In case you missed it, here's an interview with Onlinetony after the match. Also, here's a recap by the UGTL.
You can watch all three matches below. More after the jump ....
LOS ANGELES - Onlinetony213 frustrated a lot of his opponents this past Sunday at the UGTL tournament with his usage of Seth. He was able to throw off his opponents and create plenty of uncomfortable moments.
After winning the UGTL tournament, Onlinetony213 talked about winning the event plus what makes Seth work and how he approaches a match with the character.
The UGTL had a recap of the tournament and you can check it out here.

LOS ANGELES -- I had plans to interview Shizza for a while, but time never presented itself. I finally had a chance on Sunday night.
He's probably the best pad player in Southern California. He's finished in the top 10 in a few tournaments and was a presence at the LA Riots tournament last month.
He finished third at the latest UGTL tournament on Sunday in Echo Park. In this interview, I asked him about his performance, his pad setup, which console he prefers, and some other related topics.

Shame on you if you didn't show up to our anniversary tournament. OK, I'm kidding. But in case you weren't able to attend or if you did and want some memories, I took a few pictures during the event (warning: serious faces in some of these, because it was HARDCORE).
By the time I got the batteries out of my Wiimote -- because I had to beat some fools senseless in Mario Kart Wii -- the cake and mountain of pizza were both gone. If you have a picture of either edible product, let me know and I'll add them here.
Thanks again to all that came out to the celebration. Pictures after the jump ...
SIMI VALLEY - I'm here for our 3-year anniversary tournament (well, obviously I have to be here because I run the site and I set up this event, LOL) at Denjin Arcade. It'll be Street Fighter IV and Mario Kart Wii.
I won't be doing too many updates because I'm competing and I want to relax a little bit. Nevertheless we will be doing updates here below. More after the jump.
Problem was on ESPN Radio's Scott Van Pelt Show earlier this week talking about Madden 10, trash talking during a match, the tournament scene and fans aka groupies. He explains why Michael Vick and Randy Moss are two of the best sports video game characters ever.
"Over the years I've played, they've been two of the most dominant players in Madden, and players would choose teams just because they were on them. Like the Raiders."
In addition, he talks about why he uses the Titans and Cowboys in tournament play this season. He finished second and seventh in the two Madden Challenge regionals this season, both using the Titans the majority of the time.

Problem is one of the eight finalists that will play in the Finals Tournament in February in South Florida.
