I really wish I was there.... but fortunately, they will be posting some matches online soon.

As for B5, I'm still upset that 3S won't be there as a tournament event. With the power that is SRK and B5 being, well... B5... 3S has sunk low in popularity in many areas. It probably wasn't the most popular game by any means to begin with, but it had a good following as far as I can tell. Quite a portion of the competitive players decided to drop the game as a result of B5 and other major tournaments dropping the game.... Sure, they may not have been dedicated for the love of the game, but nonetheless they were still pushing the game on a competitive level. At least the Toronto scene has been vocal. Lately it sounds like 3S is way more popular than CvS at SHGL and some other arcades, but that's only what I've been hearing.

Bugs me to hell to hear "authoritative players" complaining that 3s is "way too slow" and what not... I'm probably just looking at the wrong angle or something.... Then again, VF3 is too slow for a lot of people too (I'm sure you all know what I mean here).

Music to my ears to say that the Toronto Tourney was inspiring for you Myke!
