Soulstrom next time maybe add a shoutcaster with some more comp or 1v1 experience? That way you have an additional viewpoint and a more detailed analysis of what's happening. Great job by you and McGruberr though.

Congratulations, All!

Up to this date, this was the best community run tournament I've ever seen. Congratulations!!!

[Lily from animove]

Can anyone be so kind and write that donation page an e-mail to get a proper paypal payment set up. No paypal no donation, because Many europes and especially germans don't have credit cards. We use direct banking or paypal.

This is the second time I came across a charity stream leading tho these page where I just couldn't donate due to those payment restrictions.

[QuulDrah]

Yes! Great event. Thanks, Soulstrom.
And for me? Next time, no experimental builds against tier 1 enemies ;-)

This was a lot of fun! I can see why people liked the Atlas match between Rataz and me. Lasers, missiles and ballistics flying all around. What is not to love?

I still cringe at my last match, though. I knew I needed to charge in but SkyKnight's leg pummeling made me flinch. Hats off to him for forcing me into a bad spot!

But, that was made mute at the $920 we raised! Dying in a horrible way never felt so good.

went back and watched our fight, those small pulse definitely won ya that- your build was a hell of a lot colder running, my mech just couldnt seem to get below 80% heat

It was a great batchall

Twitch did record the tournament, so if you want to watch now you can.

A much, much higher (edited) quality video will be uploaded to YouTube at a later date.

Any update on the "much, much higher (edited) quality video" please?

[Catalina Steiner]

Thanks a lot for the tournament, all your effort, all the work and for being a great host. I enjoyed the tournament a lot.

[TheSilken]

YouTube vids soon?

[Soulstrom]

I will try to get the content up to YouTube as quickly as I can. My intention is to get it up by November 30th, 2015. I will keep everyone posted.

All gifts have been distributed to all winners and giveaway prize winners as of today!

Congratulations everyone on your winnings.

[TheSilken]

Well it is officially the 30th. Where is the YouTube vid that was promised over a month and a half ago?

[Soulstrom]

Hello everyone,

It is my intention to have this up and posted by this weekend.

[Soulstrom]

My Fellow Mech-Warriors! I am pleased to announce that the Compete for the Cure Tournament Videos have been uploaded to YouTube. For those of you who weren't around or have forgotten the Compete for the Cure Tournament was a Fundraising Charity Event for the Children's Hospital of Michigan. The tournament took place on October 10, 2015 and was a 1.v.1 bracketed duel that lasted for 15 hours! After editing down 15 hours of video that content is finally available in HD!

Below is a full list of all of the individual matches in order that were dueled out that day between the competitors and a YouTube playlist hyperlink where you can watch all of them as a running video chain. Matches where participants were unable to make their drops were not uploaded and the tournaments pre-games was not as well. However if you do want to watch this content and the entire 15 hours of raw footage I really have no way to provide that to anyone at this time. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

I'd like to see the match between me and Guy that happened on Frozen City Night if that is ok. Thanks btw for this appreciate it.

[Catalina Steiner]

I will remember this tournament as a great event with a very nice sharing of work by the community and a really dedicated and nice host. These uploads are really kind and they are an amazing bonus. Thank you a lot, Soulstrom.

And I'm happy about the fact to know you and your unit better now. They're all great guys.
