The New York crew has been hard at work with getting Mortal Kombat revived lately, especially since the fall of Valley Stream Monsters aka "VSM". VSM started a lot of things and many famous FGC faces including CD Jr, Maxter and REO came from there. But since VSM has been essentially dead for some time a few kombatants have been reluctant to give up on trying to find a new home.
REO says thanks to Rapzilla for his hard work and dedication for finding a place in the Long Island area for the local players to train.

MOOOORRTALLLLLLL KOMMMBBAAAAAAAAAAATT!!!OK, so you remember when I made that PM about that MKT revival in the NY scene and how it started kicking off a month ago? Well the best news to ever come for the NY NRS scene is kicking off next week! This has been in the works for a LONG time. (Basically a year after VSM's decline when it started dying). But it's finally hit off and will become official this upcoming Friday!
NY is basically going to have it's official weeklies every week with tournaments (every Friday at 8:00 PM EST)! This is basically going to become like the equivalent of Chicago's Galloping Ghost Arcade, Cali's Wednesday Night Fights, New Jersey's 8 on the Break, Georgia's Atlanta Kombat, etc. etc. (I'm sure you guys get the point LOL)
Long Island is going to have it's official weekly tournaments again just like VSM once provided. The games featured will be Injustice: Gods Among Us, Killer Instinct, and Mortal Kombat: Trilogy! And it's all thanks to Rapzilla's hard work and dedication in trying to find a new venue for us. He has been looking for a while but finally found a place where we can all play and level up!
Our weekly tournament battle ground is called "BLU PLANET KOMBAT". It will be hitting off this Friday (Jan 24th 2014).
Location:
Blu Planet Comics
509 Central Ave,
Massapequa, NY 11758

So basically this is how Blu Planet Kombat works. Every Friday there is a weekly tournament with a stream and then top 8 results will be posted. However, once a month there will be a tournament where the prize pot and entry fee are doubled and will take place on a Saturday! This encourages players from nearby areas like PA, NJ, etc. to come out and try to fight for the prize pot! So there's a cool twist to Blu Planet Kombat weeklies. (Also there is no tournament on the Friday right before the double prize pot monthly on Saturday. That day is reserved for casuals to ensure their will be blood slayed on the next day.)
For example: This upcoming Saturday is where the monthly double prize pot tournament takes place. So this upcoming Friday at Blu Planet Kombat will be open for casuals. Every other week will be regular tournaments until the monthly challenge comes up.
