This set commemorates an unforgettable tournament which hosted some amazing match-ups and incredible upsets. These matches will NOT be uploaded online. THIS DVD SET IS THE ONLY WAY TO SEE THESE MATCHES!
I need to start this off by saying a big thank you to Ian. Without him this event would not have happened (somehow he mind tricks me into doing these events…). Also thanks to the rest of the KiT crew for helping out with everything – Cody, Beely (and Jill), Orel, Tad, and all TN players for coming out and representing. Mega props to everyone that attended for throwing the middle finger at the weather and making it out.
This was the biggest and baddest tourney in KiT’s long history. It makes me proud to be apart of a group that has evolved to become what it is today. I think back to the tournament that started it all in Murfreesboro. We didn’t have a name, but we had a dream — bring the best competition to TN and show them what we are about. These past few years have helped bring that dream into reality. I’ve said multiple times over the weekend that this is our last tourney until our next one, but if there is no next one I am glad we ended on such a perfect event.
Anyways.. check out the results here!
All of the hotels listed are off I-24 exit 56 (Harding Place). This is approximately 3 miles (5 minutes) from the venue. There is plenty of food (gyro place, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, McDonalds, Applebees, Waffle House) near all the listed hotels.
Thrifty Inn
343 Harding Place
Nashville, TN 37211
(615) 834-4242
Rate: $49.99/night with two double beds
Notes: I checked out these rooms and they were very nice. There is free wifi and the TV in the room I looked at had rca ports. There is also free breakfast.
Video: This is a walkthrough of the room. The audio is messed up but it gives you an idea.
Motel 6
420 Metroplex Dr
Nashville, TN 37211
(615) 833-8887
Rate: $39.99/night with two double beds
Notes: They wouldn’t let me look at a room, but the place looked like your typical Motel 6
Executive Inn & Suites
323 Harding Place
Nashville, TN 37211
(615) 834-0570
Rate: $29.99/night with two double beds
Notes: Definitely the cheapest in the area, but there is a reason for it. The room I looked at had a strong smell of cigarette smoke and the place just looked outdated. The staff was friendly, but I would only choose this if you are really hurting for cash.
Video: This is a walkthrough of the room. The audio is messed up but it gives you an idea.

Just like the Rocky series should have, I think the LOLFEST series is set for retirement. That doesn’t mean we were going to go out without a bang! We had our best turnout ever for a LOLFEST event, but some of the same results. Anakin may have been a little under the weather, but he pulled it out in the end.
1st - Anakin (ATL) – Roger
2nd - Trung (Knoxville) – Steve
3rd - Lil Majin (Memphis) – King
4th – I Eat Bamboo (Bristol) – Kuma

Middle Tennessee rolled pretty deep to Memphis this weekend to compete at Inevitable 2009. According to industry, this will be the last in the Inevitable series but his tournaments are far from over in the Memphis area. As always it was fun to get out to Memphis and see our friends that don’t have an opportunity to travel a lot.

It must have been the shades? Right?! Whatever it was, Anakin kept his Tekken crown in the state of Tennessee. Who will step up and defeat this man??
1st – Anakin (ATL) – Roger, Jr
2nd – Gene (Memphis) – Hwoarang
3rd – KoDee VU (Nashville) – Lars
Full results here.
The first of the LOLFEST series on a weekend is here. LOLFEST III will be held on Sunday, May 17th in celebration of the big man’s birthday. For those unfamiliar with the LOLFEST series, we will bracket up for some T6:BR at Game Galaxy Arcade in Nashville. Afterwards, we usually try to get some SF4 or other random games in. I’m guessing this one may have more of a party feel to it (either the night before, the night after, or both!).
The arcade is only open from 12noon until 6pm. If you want to get enough casuals/practice in, you will need to do it the night before. We are going to start no later than 1pm. If you are not a LOLFEST veteran, please contact myself or Ian as you make plans to attend.

Well it was supposed to be a T6:BR gathering (which it was) turned tournament (people preferred to just get casuals). Luckily everyone came over to my place after for some ‘hardcore’ SF4. Only ten people entered the tournament and ATL decided to pull their normal… splitting the “pot”. Jerks. I’ll put Mike at the top spot since he was undefeated.
1st – Mike / MeRED-ATL (Balrog)
2nd – Richie / Wing_Zero (Ryu)
3rd – Donnie / Iceman (Balrog)
4th – Trung (Rufus)
5th – Ian / Vandy (Chun Li)
5th – Ryan (El Fuerte, Sakura, Dhalsim, Balrog)
