Hey all,
Sorry if this isn't the correct forum. Please move it to its proper place if it's not (or maybe make a separate announcement in the tourney section?)!
Sorry for posting this as my first post (I've lurked these forums for a long time, since early SC4 days, and have played the series since Soul Blade, most of my time going into SC2). I don't work for MLG or anything but I wanted to let you guys know about MLG PrizeFights for next weekend (couldn't find a thread in my searches).

It's going to either be mortal kombat or SC5. I don't know how they pick but if it's anything like starcraft 2's they'll get 4 to players and let them fight it out for $ (sc2 was $750 for the title fight, $250 for the undercard or whatever it's called). I imagine if they get enough viewership they'll continue to do this, because $$ drives them and viewership == $$.
I was able to boost SC5 up to about 70% vs 30% yesterday and didn't bring this to the forum's attention sooner because it seemed as if no one but myself was voting, and if it stayed that way, I'd have just won it straight up (lol). Anyway, the MK guys found out about it (looks like testyourmight.com is run by the same people as this site? but I see an announcement over there but not one over here) and now MK is destroying it enough that I can't win it back alone.
If you guys are interested in growing the SC5 scene, I think this would be a great opportunity. I'm personally mostly a huge starcraft 2 fan but I play SC5 a lot with my friends and followed it at the last MLG, tweeted sundance that I'd like to see more, and it's looking like he's giving that opportunity. A complete blowout would send a huge sign to them so even if MK does win the poll, making it a bit closer than it currently is would be better than nothing.
It appears you can vote about 50 times before it stops you. I'm not sure how long it takes before it resets and allowed you to vote more, but I'll be doing 50 votes every chance I can get. You can simply click Soul Calibur V, vote, and then click the "return to poll" link below to vote again. Alternatively, you can PM me for an easier/faster way if you're not into clicking a lot but still want to give your 50 votes.
This is your chance to get the top SC5 players some cash guys, not sure how much longer the poll will be up and at this point I feel bad for not making this thread yesterday :)
Please pass this information on to someone who can get more exposure and give SC5 a chance :D The guys over at the MK forums are pushing to have MK win 99% to 1%, and at currently .03% a vote, that won't be hard.
