How many have signed up?
543 I believe? There was a tweet about it somewhere.
That many!? 
Why couldnāt we have that many at CEO!? 
Because EVO is EVOā¦itās the biggest FG tournament in the world, period. Even without being a KI World Cup qualifier, itās still the largest game in town. Part of going to it isnāt even about the game(s) you play - itās just about seeing the spectacle of it all.

Wish I could goā¦ 
How do you and the others afford to go all of the time?
Well, Iām an aerospace engineer with no children or house or anything like that, and tend to save money over going out all the times. Canāt speak for anyone else though.
And EVO will also only be my 3rd tournament ever - so itās not like I do this all the time either. Iād also been planning for EVO since last year, even if I did wind up booking the actual tickets and stuff kind of late in the end.

So, you were doing space applications at the age of 19? Boy, you were already worldās ahead of me back thenā¦ I was just struggling through college at that age.
Lol. I said āalmostā a decade. I did a few internships at NASA is all, so nothing too crazy in all honesty. I was doing intern stuff on satellite programs, so very little heavy-duty design or engineering work.
Donāt want to derail the thread any further though - I doubt the whole of the KI forums really needs to know about my work history :-p

You do live on planet earth, right? Or is my statement inaccurate?
Storm confirmed to represent Mars.
EVO won by a Martian.

I hope to see some great Thunder play this weekend. I feel as if everyone ditched Thunder for Tusk or Arbiterā¦ #SoSad
I see Thunders all over the place what are you talking about?

Lol. Thatās how I feel. I havenāt fought an Arbiter in forever :-p
Iām merely stating what I felt, as opposed to actual fact. Fact is there may very well be a plethora of Thunders as you so say, I just donāt see it, hence my stated feelings towards it.
The last few tournaments Iāve checked out, I only remember seeing ShinTristan use Thunder, then he switched to Tusk. Outside of tournaments, I only see randoms in streams, no more GutterMagic streams with Thunder (or maybe Iām missing those, too). IMO I donāt see many Thunders. You might, cool 
And if thatās truly the case, point me in the right direction. Iāll request good Thunder play please. Until then, I stand by what I said in the previous post.
On a somewhat of a sidenote, I also would like to be surprised and see at least one good Kan-Ra. Itād be amazing if Fubuki 142 went to EVO. His Kan-Ra is truly amazing!
Still smh on why thunder got a meterless Dp. I really donāt understand.
Itās his signature move from the original KI. To my knowledge, he also doesnāt have a decent AA move aside from that, but I could be wrongā¦
