Northern California’s premier fighting game tournament returns to the scene in style as the final major for 2009. This year’s NorCal Regionals tournament will be held on November 21-22 at the beautiful Domain Hotel in Sunnyvale CA, just down the street from the historic Sunnyvale Golfland Arcade.
This year’s revamped lineup of titles features fresh and familiar faces, like the highly anticipated Tekken 6 and fan favorite Street Fighter 4, as well as old friends like MvC2 and NorCal favorite CvS2. Duke it out in any or all of our tournaments, or cheer on your favorite players in our special exhibition SF4 team grudge match: NorCal vs. SoCal.
The highest level of elite players from all over the country including EVO top 8 finalists Alex Valle, Ed Ma, Ricky Ortiz, ShadyK, Combofiend, Chunkstah, and West Coast Warzone SF4 champion Marneto, are confirmed to attend to stake their claim as “The Best In 2009.”
NCR will be utilizing official tournament-grade EVO equipment, and Shoryuken staff members Seth Killian, Ponder, James Chen, and Mr. Wizard will be present to oversee the tournament. Spectating is free and there will be plenty of giveaways from sponsors including Namco, Madcatz, and Sugar Betty.

Yeah, I totally thought Ponder = S.Kill.
At least that’s the impression I got from the Domination 101 articles.

Oh okay. Tony “Ponder” Cannon.
I guess he just reposted S.Kill’s articles after the site crash or something. :/

About the live stream…I can see that on iplaywinner they say that they will stream it. But WHERE?! On the front page, or somewhere else?? The information about the streaming part is pretty bad
