SRK Fantasy League Results

Ultradavid’s great fantasy bracket idea finally pushed me and Ponder over the edge to implement a system we’ve been thinking about for a while: a fantasy league for fighting game tournaments.

So, just in time for Capcom’s tournaments this weekend, I’d like to introduce the the SRK Fantasy League (beta). Here’s how it works

  1. Head to the site and fill in your predictions by making a Challonge bracket
  2. As the tournaments unfold, see how your predictions stack up against everyone else’s
  3. Profit*

*Disclaimer:  There is no profit.  So far we are just testing the waters.  If this takes off, we plan on implementing some way of redeeming points you win in the league for goodies and prizes.

If this is the kind of thing you’d like to see more of , the best way to show it is by participating.  So, head to the beta site and enter your predictions by this Saturday!

Update!  Win an Evo Fightstick!

We will be giving away one Evo 2012 Fightstick to the league member with the highest overall point total across all four tournaments!  The winner can choose either a PS3 or XBox stick.

 

Update!  Top 10 Rankings

Here are the top 10 finishers in our first fantasy event.  Congrats to Reborn_Hitman11, who wins the Evo Fightstick of his choice.

  1. Reborn_Hitman11′, 1600 pts
  2. poke133′, 1310 pts
  3. Iceymitsu’, 1290 pts
  4. LeXiNgToN87′, 1260 pts
  5. theptr’, 1260 pts
  6. xecretxauce’, 1240 pts
  7. Erawan555′, 1230 pts
  8. whsiao’, 1180 pts
  9. bakedninja38109′, 1170 pts
  10. C_O_I_L’, 1150 pts

In 2012 we’ll take the SRK Fantasy League forward, covering more events with more prizes. Thanks to everyone who participated in the beta!

         Ah snap, apparently bots are on SRK’s payroll

    • thirdstrikesucks

      Hey I was right, 3s is at this tourney. And afterward it will be dead forever.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Steven-Tyler-Parry/100003150253490 Steven Tyler Parry

        Errrmmm… the game has never died and never will. It’s a true classic. As long as humans on earth still play fighting games 3s will have a community. Might be small at times, but it’s steady. Same with VSav. Same with all the great games through history. People still play broodwars. People still play poker. People still play chess.

        Asshole

  • http://twitter.com/Frappadoodle Simon Lövgren

    Heh I can’t add the bracket I did for UltraDavid’s thread because the beta site wants Snake Eyez to be spelled with an S instead of a Z. I’m not in the mood to reenter my bracket so I guess I’ll sit this out, but fun idea anyway :) .

  • sibarraz

    Can we predict how many combos will drop a a player?

    Or just andre

    • PJ

       I’d love to see a combo drop a player.

      • shotofighter4

        Why not? It’s not like they have to go there themselves.

  • http://twitter.com/darkdragon8888 Troy T

    love fantasy sports, and I love this idea

  • http://twitter.com/SpaceNarwhal Malcolm K.

    I’ve always wanted do fantasy sports but I have never payed enough attention to televised sports.  This is going to be so much fun.

  • Louis Lam

    so esports

  • http://www.squidoo.com/fightinggamesonline thec0re3@Fighting Games Online

    • http://twitter.com/ElLoneStarGamer Efren Salinas

      The real question was really “who was gonna do it first?”

      Cheers.

    is it just me or is Challonge.com down at the moment?

    • d3v

      Challonge is currently down for maintenance.

      • Sephiroth

         And…its back up :)

  • http://twitter.com/rnoksanen Roope Oksanen

    The challonge updates just made this a lot more annoying to set up :(

    EDIT: Awesome idea though

    • Bavo Bruylandt

      “Bulk-add feature will be restored soon”

      Great timing lol/

      • http://twitter.com/Gemakai Gemakai

         That and the ‘Traditional’ to ‘Sequential’ option appears to be missing. That’s just prime. :/

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Marc-Xiong/100000222942260 Marc Xiong

        That’s exactly why I said “f*ck this sh*t!!!”

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_AFJDBNFMXC3CCRYNSN3V3ZTWZE James

    I don’t see the options to do any of the steps  Help please !!!!

    • Bavo Bruylandt

      its like they became the center of attention thanks to this SRK feature, and said to the themselves ‘fuck this shit, aint gonna happen, OFFLINE’

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_TIC7WNRSMFBSCLF6OR6JQJAAZA sb

        The site cant handle the traffic lol

    • http://twitter.com/wBENDERw wBENDERw

      all the options are still there it looks like the changed the layout and location of it.

      was able to do it just now

  • http://twitter.com/wBENDERw wBENDERw

    this is going to be allot of fun!!! sept for the bulk add =(

  • Rahavic

    add bulk participants feature will be restored soon…..

  • http://twitter.com/wBENDERw wBENDERw

    i added them one by one takes seconds, man this bracket build got me pretty hyped!!!

    went back and looked at historical videos and shit

    can’t wait for saturday!!!

    • http://twitter.com/poke133 Drago Umeharevich

       where the fuck is the sequential option?

      • http://twitter.com/wBENDERw wBENDERw

        before you save and continue its the last option 

  • http://twitter.com/Oliver_Wilmot Oliver W

    Because Challonge has changed its layout, I’m confused. Where it askes “Place participants in the bracket using – “, what do I choose?

  • Yusuf Joseph

    So…I HAVE to create a twitter account?
    :(

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_TIC7WNRSMFBSCLF6OR6JQJAAZA sb

      Thats what i said it will be deleted after this is over tho i dont do twitter

  • http://www.facebook.com/raid.ismail Ra’id Ahmed Ismail

    So now that Happy Medicine is out…do I have to go back and change my brackets? Or will it be automatically be assumed that Floe takes his place?

  • bizkit01

    When’s Marvel… gunna be added? Seriously though, add a Marvel bracket – can people even name 16 “SFxT players” without just going to the top AE players who also play SFxT?

    • http://twitter.com/LordBBH Lord BBH

       Since you haven’t been paying attention, there is no Marvel at the SF25 tournament. Because it is a Street Fighter-themed tournament. Way to show your stream monster mentality with the baseless SFxT hate.

  • Andrew Kim

    do we have to correctly predict the outcome of each individual game?
    are all the games best of 3?

  • ScorpiusJones

    this idea….is awesome. 

  • http://twitter.com/mattmattmat_ matt

    spend all that time doing my brackets, and while I’m doing them it changes to “Bracket Registration is Closed. Good luck to everyone!” even though the tourney hasn’t even started yet.gg.

    • http://www.squidoo.com/fightinggamesonline thec0re3@Fighting Games Online

       yeah same here :(   and I was just wondering about when it was that we needed to turn it in. I’m still going to finish it up see how I did.

    • Jake Long

      Hopefully this helps people.  Here are the new steps to create a bracket.

      1) Go to challonge.com/tournaments/new

      2) Type in the name of the bracket and the url (can be anything)

      3) Change type to “Double Elimination”

      4) Near the bottom of the screen (right above “Save and Continue”), change “Traditional Seeding Rules” to “The Order of the Participants List”

      5) Click “Save and Continue”

      6) Near the top of the screen, click “Add or Invite Participants”

      7) In the name box, type in the first user name in the old instructions’ ‘bulk add’ list exactly as it appears (i.e. “MCZ Daigo” in the AE list, not “Daigo” or “MCZ.Daigo”) and click “Add”.  Repeat for all players.
      8) Once all players have been added, click “Preview Your Bracket” near the top of the page

      9) If everything appears correctly, click “Start the Tournament” near the top of the page

      10) Follow the old list’s instructions for picking winners and adding your prediction bracket to the list.

      • http://twitter.com/mattmattmat_ matt

         That doesn’t matter because as I said-
        “Bracket Registration is Closed. Good luck to everyone!”

        • Jake Long

          Was that after you added all your names?

  • http://unessential.livejournal.com/ unessential

    Registration closed already? But I just found out about this! =(

  • CyberShinobi

     Love the idea!  An innovative way to get people involved even if they can’t attend the event.  A must for top 32 at majors.

    • Bavo Bruylandt

      yes, but do explain the rules, cause my points looked random. Is it only for correct matchups that you get points?

  • http://twitter.com/poke133 Drago Umeharevich

     i think i lost the Evo stick by 30 points FML
    the dude (@Reborn_Hitman11:disqus ) who i think is the winner has 1340 pts, while i have 1310 :<

    • http://twitter.com/Reborn_Hitman11 Nathan Chan

      im on 1600

      • http://twitter.com/poke133 Drago Umeharevich

        i was talking about you.. guess i miscalculated :P

        good job!

        • http://twitter.com/Reborn_Hitman11 Nathan Chan

          so what happens next?

          • http://twitter.com/poke133 Drago Umeharevich

             don’t ask me, ask Tom or Tony Cannon :D

  • Jake Long

    It felt so damn good being in the lead after the first part of HDR.  I’m thinking “Yeah, I can actually do this!”

    And then 3rd Strike started happening.  I didn’t feel so good any more.

    • http://twitter.com/EDarkness Sunbrother ED

      I think everyone felt the same at AE.

  • jeremy corrin

    Missed out on catching the beta but very excited for more. An idea is to have long shots (perfects, not loose a round, etc) for extra points. It can cost points already attained and becomes a double or nothing mechanic. Just an idea to make the rankings more dynamic.

  • http://twitter.com/poke133 Drago Umeharevich

    oh god.. i’m second place, so salty! :D
    gg to the winner though, have fun with the stick
