I thought they also run a shitload of KoF?

I think that's the console version. By arcade setup I mean the cabinets and such instead of a monitor+console setup.

Most people found out about cafeid when they sent a bunch of people over to evo 2 years ago, and completely tore up the KOF tournament, with MadKOF beating out Bala in grand finals, coming from losers.

Yeah, I'm aware. I'm just saying, CafeID probably wasn't a thing (and certainly not a place for fighting games) until the big Korean FG arcades (Isu Theme Park, the Noryangjin arcades, Abgujeong Joy Plaza, etc) went out of business or did away with their fighting game setups, which I know was much less than a decade ago.

More KoF exhibition/salty suite goodness over at CafeID! Poverty wifi, though, so the stream quality has gone down a little.

I'd kinda wondered why Poongko wasn't at the CafeID tournament. Turns out he posted on his twitter a few days back that he's boycotting CafeID events; though he won't say why there was evidently some sort of falling out there. He does say he's still training and plans to participate in foreign tournaments on his own money, but still. I think it's a shame as a spectator.

Yeah I don't know what's going on there. Aside from Poongko having some kind of personal issue, the only two things that seemed weird to me is the location of the tournament and the prize distribution.

For one, Jeju is a really expensive place. It's an island south of South Korea and it's almost all tourism/vacationing/conferences. There's not many cheap places to stay and they sell out quick on busy weekends. I went there for some school related conference and everything except the most expensive places were sold out. You could get cheap, decent meals on 7-11's ($3 to $5), but eating anywhere else I would spend anywhere from $12 for an average meal to $20+ for stuff like black pig. Any food sold on hotels will be even pricier.

The prize distribution (or lack thereof) was crazy, 1st place getting all the bonus pot is really rough for people who get top 3.

I didn't realize this, makes more sense why Jwong was so salty after losing.

Rather close, but the mentos didn't help in the end. Rico needs a new sponsorship.

He's had a rough go the last month or so with dudes really steppin up their game. I also feel like EMP is kinda throwing him under the bus. Not that it's surprising that Triforce is willing to gently caress someone over for himself.

Also this top 4 has been stupid good tonight.

Yeah, the level of play has been incredible. I just felt bad because Sanford is an emotional player and it's gotta be hard to play right after a tough loss.
