[@joe_karryy]

Bro Rips. French joe there. You know I m watching 95% of your contends since mk11!? Imo best Klash best matchup. Highest level ever. The level was as high as kombo breaker or EVO imo. ☮️🩵✌️

[@FlossyCarter]

Shout out to Dyloch for bringing it home for NA and the Shao Khan mains🫡

[@MajestyRedden]

Man like Carter

wait, flossy. you main shao too? SHAO GANG RISE😎

You guys are collectively keeping this game alive 🙏🏻

[@rozinbars7988]

The game isn't dead lol.

[@walkingnote1090]

Top NA players ignore the community. This is the result.

[@Ninomann12]

What do u mean ignore ? Like what feedbacks for example ?

[@TheCaptainhowdy11]

​@Ninomann12 They didn't show up.

[@RacerNight86]

Yooooooooooo let's go guys!!!! R1ps X Destroyer🐐🐐... This is emotional for me because you and Destroyer are the reason why 75% of people are playing MK1 right now. I love both you guys🔥💯💯💯💯🤝🏾

[@JOJO_IN_3D]

The HourGlass/Kani match was EVERYTHING

[@MichaelUtah]

Yup, I see your point. Intense

[@TheunkindnessIRL]

It was so good it look scripted 😂

[@ArnKratos]

I should've stepped for NA team...

Yeah!! We needed you.

[@erdus8842]

I hope Roethor opens a channel or make video with someone for Quan tutorials.

[@babarasul680]

same but he doesn't seem like the typa dude that would tho...

He has a yt channel

[@ghostsauce1443]

Lil Roether the truth . Leeeeets get it

[@TheCaptainhowdy11]

Shoutout to Dyloch for repping NA. Really unfortunate that most of NA wasn't hungry. It was still GG. Great matches.

[@whiskey778]

This was great!!! Thx R1ps and Destroyer!

[@alexm.6557]

I missed the entire stream so I’m glad you guys got this uploaded already😭

[@tyrannosaurus696]

This tournament was amazing from qualifiers all the way through to the final. Thanks to all of the players for taking part & putting on an amazing show, & to R1ps & Destroyer for their work behind the scenes. Can I suggest next time that rather than randomise the match-ups, R1ps & Destroyer choose who each player matches up with, in the same way as the Ryder Cup in golf. This would mean less speed-runs, even more hype match-ups & increase the involvement of the team leaders. The Ryder Cup of MK1! Thanks again R1ps & Destroyer!

[@alecstorm813]

That's what i was thinking as well. Random match-ups seems the most fair but can make the content suffer for it

[@TheunkindnessIRL]

I hope this can serve as a wake up call for NA players like rewind, ninja , sonic etc to actually suck up their pride and actually sign up and compete in tourneys like this cause EU absolutely destroyed NA

[@Hagh12375]

Thats the unfortunate part. They don't wanna participate in non-"official-online-tournaments" that don't have the big bags. Even the na only tournaments... They don't care about the community that much.

[@R1psArena]

@@Hagh12375 just to put it into perspective. The community donated so much money for this event that the players get paid 250 euro for two ft3 sets. That’s approx 750 euro / hour for playing mk in a free to enter event from home.

[@TheunkindnessIRL]

@@R1psArena that’s what I’m saying at the end of the day, they just didn’t play because of pride or the fear of losing

[@TheCaptainhowdy11]

​@@R1psArenaThis. They should feel ashamed of themselves.

[@sunless]

This is the most fun I've had watching an mk1 tourney since launch!! Legendary collab.

[@alexmatthewsiv4310]

You guys definitely have to run this tournament back after chaos reigns where we’ll get real homelander nerfs buffs to some low tiers and hopefully a change to ferra that doesn’t make her free mix I would love to see this tournament like this again

[@TheunkindnessIRL]

Na had a homelander to plus faysal main isn’t even homelander

[@alexmatthewsiv4310]

@@TheunkindnessIRL nobody mained jaqui in 11 either yet she was all over tournaments why cause she absurdly broken homelander is stupid bro has a low, grab, and overhead and they all combo it’s already broken that reiko has that but at least reiko can only combo from the grab this man combos from all 3 he needs to get nerfed into oblivion

[@kyleburroughs4185]

If the American top-tier players competed for COTR we would have washed the European team. Other than Faysal and Kanimani

[@OrtegaSauce]

Why didn't they compete? Didn't have time or something I'm guessing?

[@TheunkindnessIRL]

@@OrtegaSauceit’s just pride tbh cause they post like 100+ videos of them playing the game everyday

[@TheunkindnessIRL]

False

[@TheCaptainhowdy11]

Very disappointed they didn't come out. Really sad.

[@nickyriley2917]

The thing is the e.u boys play for the love of the game most top Americans only play offline and for the big bucks

[@tyrannosaurus696]

NA really need to step up so it's not just Dyloch & Hourglass carrying them (Dyloch bagging mid-combo was hilarious & Hourglass is a straight-up killer). Should also say that Onlinecale was in beastmode! Even without their big names, who apparently think they're too good for this (Ninja, Fox, Rewind etc.), there are amazing NA players like Justnasty, Kinggambler, etc., who regularly play in R1ps Arena but didn't show for this event. Get involved NA!

[@GnomaticMime-lz9js]

Honeybee legit taught me about 7 new routes to get combos. Dude made me realize I wasn’t using even using half of the character

[@vorsknie5557]

As a Quan main, I gotta watch this Roethor match over and over again. Best Quan Chi!

Yes this the best team up, I love it!!! Rips and destroyer!! You guys match up great!

Yo That Honeybee conversation vs Val in the 3rd game for round was insane. Honeybee and Dyloch need to do the fusion dance

[@irvingp6859]

Awesome 👌 👏 video appreciate Rips and destroyer for the collaboration, made my Saturday even though we got crushed and I knew it but vggs to all wow BEANCEL is a monster wow and HourOfGlass did his thing against 1 of the best Honeybee disappointment me a bit but Val is pretty much another monster demon ,I feel we should do it again but mix up the matche ups like Dyloch vs that demon king Rother 😫

[@MikeTie-ne6tg]

No matter who is playing as Kenshi I will always enjoy seeing him getting his broken ass beaten. Also 2 sindels being send to outta space is just eye candy!

[@hugoruda9049]

NA had such a disappointing line up. Only dyloch showed up to kill All these other pros are afraid to loose a set against any of these Europe sweats Ggs

[@plomyde6170]

its because of toxic community. sonic tried to play in one of these event even tho it was 200 ping. but ppl posted everywhere he lost. so now him and javier had beef in twitter if i remember correctly then they played in final kombat sonic won because its an offline event. but thats why the top NA players dont really do these events i guess.

[@UnicrisArt]

What an event 🤩 absolutely loved it, loved the energy, high quality gameplay, drama. Really really entertaining! Kudos to @R1ps_Arena and Destroyer for putting this together. And to all those moaning about Top NA players not showing up. Lets give some credit to those who actually showed up and put the time and effort in to compete in this event. Those are some mad good player. But yeah Europe got the better of them. Very entertaining to watch. Congrats to everyone. So entertaining and I am not even a big MK fan. Oh and p.s. that Kenshi pressure is disgusting 🤯

Was a great watch! I was really hoping Hourglass was gonna take down Kani, Kani is a beast but i always root for the underdog Was a hell of a match tho

[@chrislance684]

Destroyer really assembled the bteam man sheesh

[@laad-raptaverse3020]

Not his fault. Na players are too Hollywood. Eu players are more competitive imo. They grind almost everyday in rips tourney. Na players not so much. Destroyer tried getting some heavy hitters and no one gave him the strength. The fact rips have kani and faysal made this battle almost impossible for Na. We needed kombat and rewind. I won't even say ninja because he wasn't gonna give destroyer that strength.

Listen I am just crying because im a NA fan but, man ... EU just zoned out all the NA players besides the players who were top dawgs like Kani & Fysal.. Val, Roethar, Fireaxe, & Fig.. made for some real like mehhh gameplay.. i felt like this was Mk11 Cetrion tournament.. and man the Ping was causing so many NA players to drop kombos but none the less like i said i am just complaining.. bravo to These 2 legends for putting on such an enjoyable Season 1

[@MajestyRedden]

Homelander looks like he has a 1000 bottles of baby oil.

[@TheArmyofHades]

Finally the time has come we have been waiting for so long. Im writing as i watch plus idk who is on NA team. Match1: Holy shet i cant believe roethor, dude is insane when the man is locked in nothing can stop him. Its sad i had to root against mari. Match2: i trust in Javier's gameplan it might be lame but its super effective. Beancel has the classic sindel gameplay. Its consistent but predictable and javi takes advantage of that winning the game. Match3: COME ON MY BROTHRR FIREAXE YOU CAN DO IT. From the start its apparent that fireaxe has some stress he has uncharacteristic drops and whiffs. Somehow dyloch drops some as well even though i think he has more experience. Dyloch is just better at finding opening and mixing here. Ultimately this goes to dyloch but fireaxe made a strong appearance. Match4: I trust in Faysal. Six has very strong defense against any other player this would be a problem but faysals homie is a swiss army knife he does open him up eventually and gets this. Match5: Noooo i have to root against honeybee? Well lets go Val. Our original sindel tremor is making an amazing appearance as always, even though comeback of the day goes to honeybee. Ultimately val is a class above most other sindels cause of his adaptability and approach. Another EU win. Match6: Well i believe in kanimani but things start awefully rough. Its a steamroll vs steamroll situation depending on who gets his mojo going i got some minor heart attacks cause i though kani would have an easier time but hourglass of rain really put him through the wringer, thank god we won that one. Match7: Well a low tier versu top 3 wont bide well in the MK1 setting but still figg gives a pretty good showing if the characters where better balanced he would sure fair much better. Match8: Damn Na has blachary....blach starts strong with the solid gameplan but yuvility gets rolling afterwards. This was pretty tight but at thid point EU had already won so it was just extra flexing. 6-2 not bad for Eu but honestly worse than i expected XD.

It would be dope if these 8v8 were ran like how smash does it… Player 1 vs player 2 first to 3 .. Player 1 wins 3 - 2 and stays on the controller.. Player 1 vs player 3 but player 1 is down two games meaning that player 3 only has to win one set to take player 1 out Repeat until the end of the tournament Probably has been ran like this before and it’ll be more work for the TOs but that’d be dope
