ShinDinoForce took back their crown last time. But it was NOT easy!!!
FNC are consistently solid in 2nd place.. will they rise to pole position this time?
Sons of Luna will always raise some hell before giving up the fight.
Plus the Demolition Boyz are on the rise!!

one question bro, is it still that same venue in that bar?

[The Chef]

Sorry bro, been pretty busy between now and then so I missed the question (although feel free to PM and/or email me if you need anything more urgently).

Yep, it's in the same bar, and next one (final one of the season; Sun 24th June) will also be in the same venue.
But after that, we dunno yet. And the venues of these kinds of events do change periodically, so feel free to ask again later down the line.

[The Chef]

Another AWESOME event!! Big up everyone who came.
It was a REAL dream match with lots of Old School heads (even some from Namco Wonderpark arcade back in 1997) and lots of new school up and comers too.
In fact there was an Old School vs New School team battle at the end!!

Amazingly, for the team tourney, the results for 2nd, 3rd and 4th position are the same as last time!!
But for the top spot, this was the night of the Old Skool!!!
Who knows what's in store for the next and final Snake Pit of the season; Sunday 24th June 2012.


Results:

1st Old Skool
The Chef, Amraj, Prodigal Son Ryan Hart

2nd FNC
ROO KANG, Bonus Jin, Asim

3rd Sons of Luna
Luna, Tim, Isa

4th Demolition Boyz
Tala (Umer Kazama), Tarik, L
