Kevin is going to be competing at TGM for the first time inside of Japan. He gave me a heads up that https://www.twitch.tv/vst_koryan would be hosting it live. It's going down 3pm Saturday there, I've worked out that's Saturday 1AM here in Central time (so 2AM for Eastern, etc.) Let's cheer him on! He loves shmups too. I hope all my math is right and that person will actually be broadcasting.

We hung out briefly when I was at CafeId in Seoul a while back, good luck to him! Glad to hear he's still into it.

I've only hung out in his streams and threw him a bit of money through that, but he seems like the coolest guy. This will be TGM1 in the tournament by the way, that video going around of him being the first western Gm is referring to TGM3.

Sorry, got confused with a different DDR guy (coulda sworn it was the same handle). It wasn't this dude at cafeId. Either way a foreigner representing at TGM is awesome.

that's awesome! i'll try and catch it.

Cool, best of luck to Kevin!

Is this still happening?

Edit: Nevermind, it's starting.

[Ed Oscuro]

According to the stream, Kevin has a "9:38:23," whatever that means. Guess he went already.

[NTSC-J]

It says players are warming up, I'm guessing those times are personal bests?

[szycag]

They started in the race based on their personal bests, to throttle it a bit. So someone with 10:00 PB would start 50 seconds later than 10:50 Gm PB, etc.

Kevin is in the best four competition, he got 4th last round. Two will come from this, and two from the consolation class.

EDIT: Kevin placed 5th overall; watching Tetris played at this level is the greatest, and wish as many people were into it as League of Legends.
