Please make it a priority to attend this, especially if you live in NY! There's a lot of space (2 floors). There will be a lot of setups (aiming for 16), hopefully good attendance, a stream, OOS attendance, etc. It doesn't end too late either, so it's more efficient for people who are traveling.

Stream: Chibosempai! Chibo is the official stream partner of the Uprise/LIRR series.

You can find videos of past Uprises here: http://www.youtube.com/user/CLASHTournaments and check out his website: http://www.CLASHtournaments.com

Hype this up! Please post and try to spread the word.

Inui is banned from this tournament.


There will be bracket pools at this event! 8 bracket pools, top 3 make it out into the pro bracket. The pro bracket will consist of the top 8 placers of the circuit + the top 3 of each pool. Person with top 8 in points gets seed 1, person in WF/GF of the bracket pool gets seed 2, 2nd place in the pool gets seed 3, 3rd place in the pool gets seed 4.
