Exclusive sofa!
Small detail, but very important. The venue had a sofa in front of the stage for the players who wait for playing or team members. The exclusive area also separated players from the audience, so no distractions. Very nice! Everyone should do this.

"The Machine"
The top player from Korea Poongko is the MVP of this tournament. He didn't go to Losers bracket in Single, even he played the lowest health character and his road wasn't easy. But the most important thing is his performance or how he played. Several times, his actions just outclassed his opponents. You need to see his matches in this tournament, as I don't recommend the replays on YouTube. As I said before, you can't judge anything from replay clips, and there's some lag. Poongko usually plays online with Japanese but he lives in Korea. (I think similar to Xian from Singapore.)

Poongko's Fun Facts
- He beat Tokido in first-to-ten match before the tournament. (via the commentator)
- He took his belt off before he played.
- He drank Red Bull after winning the grand final.
- They called him "The Machine" because after he got off the plane he doesn't stop playing. He said some day he played 24 hours. (via the commentator)

Poongko's interview
- He lost to Momochi's Yun when he arrived Australia but he didn't let it get in his mind.
- He wasn't 100% satisfied, because he wanted to fight Mago in the grand final to decide. This's because he struggled with Mago's Fei Long. Though he didn't disrespect Momochi.

Evo seed points
Tokido will place very high in Evo 2011 if he has some luck. He received another 64 points from winning MvC3 and will probably play only 1 match in MvC3 pool at Evo. In MvC3, playing less match helps a lot.

Player	SSF4AE	MvC3
Daigo Umehara	64	2
Tokido	104	130
Mago	2	32

Days after (the tournament ended)

- Momochi & Choco, Kindevu, ItaZan, Uryo, Haitani, Tokido went to a zoo.
- Umezono, ItaZan, Kindevu, Uryo went to casino.
- Mago killed the time (plane/airport) by playing Super Robot War Z (PSP) that he borrowed from a friend. He reached chapter 34 during the trip.
