Did anyone see the championships yesterday? They are being streamed by levelup and the event is sponsored by Mdacatz, I caught a bunch of it yesterday and it looked awesome (they had a mystery tournament featuring Powerstone 2) also all the commentators were hilarious. Of note was both the Championship between old school Alex Valle and floe. Important was all the crazy mixups floe already had with juri including a couple of really interesting uses of the feng shui engine custom. AND there was a literally unbelievable "pad warrior" Wolf Krome, young kid from who tore it up with c.viper (worth watching on youtube or levelup.)
Its still going today, at some point later central time. Team tournaments, CvS2, more super Marvel etc.

ALSO awesome was the HDremix final where some guy in his second tournament EVER beat Alex Valle out of the loser's bracket (meaning he had to win more than Valle to actually win, and did so in a ryu v ryu mirror match, again on a gamepad.)
Anyway I think these guys are doing a great job, it again brings to my mind how much more marketable fighting games should be as an esport, as opposed to shooters or RTS's etc.
