Trivia: TTG was coined by @derek_omni IIRC. There was also a TTG2 (following year), and a very small TTG3 at a different location (1999).

Trivia: Alpha 3 Nationals is where we all met Daigo for the first time, and I coined the nickname "The Beast" which has stuck forever. It's also where the lesser known "Press Some Buttons Cole" meme came from. @AfroCole =)

To @SuperDojo aka Mike Watson : I may not ever win an @EVO Award despite attending 25 years this year since B5 in 2001, winning a world title & numerous Top 3’s/Top 5’s/Top 8’s, REF’ing over a decade, tournament organizing, commentary, & having many moments and highlights since the EVO 2002 DVD dropped but I’m SO PROUD of you big bro for winning an EVO Hall of Fame mention. You deserve that, I remember you being kind to me when I first came in the scene at 20 years old. My senseis are @AfroCole , X-Rolento aka Jason Nelson, & Graham Wolfe. You were also a mentor to me back then and still are now even with me approaching 45 years old this summer ! Much love familia 🙏🏾🙌🏾🖖🏾🇺🇸 -DR.B aka GALAXY B @TeamStrike1st @FightingRetro @ArcadeCandyCo @DefendTheNorth @RichKidAcademy @BBCicecream

Not the first time this has happened. 😆 For Dead or Alive 4 at Evo West, Jason Cole (@AfroCole) overslept the entirety of pools. But there were not many entrants and, iirc, everyone except one person in the pool was DQ’ed. He showed up for Top 8, so we just let him play. LOL!
I took a look at this bracket out of curiosity This might be the funniest bracket I have ever seen. There are 13 DQs out 23 players for this event 2 People made it into top 8 through DQs alone

I'm really enjoying @Evo's interviews with Champions, but I would really like to see other greats covered such as @cUrSe_MightyMar @RyanJosephHart @PerfectLegend @AfroCole @KDZaster @sanfordkelly and @robertlcombs just for quick names off the top of my head!
