6/22/17 UPDATE: Goal for r/Kappa T5M7 and r/Kappa Poongko has been reached. SooA has stepped down from receiving the sponsorship.Any remaining funds will be used to help fund for future r/Kappa sponsorships. <del>Unless Vegas hotel taxes body us</del>.Hello monsters of r/Kappa, it&#39;s getting closer to the time of McRibs in the air. 2017 already had the craziest start with young man reactions, even more shocking Asian drowning incidents, and teabagging going global! After shoutouts from E League and Red Bull Kumite <del>and a blessing from a napping dog</del>, r/Kappa has decided to make steps again and bring back sponsorships for this year! We will be starting the return of sponsorships at Evo 2017!  Who are we sending? Let&#39;s take a look!  For the first time, we are sending out a player exclusively for Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator 2! We are bringing out the player T5M7 aka &#34;Tomo&#34; from Japan! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxFXYIl_LGk&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=52m51s" rel="nofollow">As described by &#34;majinobama&#34;, Tomo: The Lion of Japan, Arc Revo 2016 Champion, and all around nice guy. Started playing competitively with Xrd Sign, and since Leo&#39;s release, he has been the standout pilot of the character. With pressure that can smother, fierce yomi, and a charismatic personality outside the game, this is a player everyone is watching right now. He is highly motivated, and one of the 6-7 players you can EXPECT to stand on that top 8 stage...wearing timberlands.</a>Next up, we have a known r/Kappa veteran...Coming from Korea, Poongko has returned back to represent the r/Kappa name, Poongko stepped into the world of Street Fighter V and Tekken 7, with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D68TfK6lKN8" rel="nofollow">a Kolin that will freeze your saltiness</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlLuiTtJlPw" rel="nofollow">an Akuma that will block you from a qualifier.</a><del>Finally, another rising player from Korea, the best Juri of South Korea...SooA aka ZZAMTIGER! </del><del>Originally a King of Fighters player, this woman should not be underestimated. With a look that can break your PS4 and technique that will leave you stunned, SooA can body you with not only an arcade stick, but a keyboard?! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAqur1m1Uwg" rel="nofollow">Yes, SooA not only started off with King of Fighters, but also originally used a keyboard to body opponents!</a> However, she decided to step into the world of Street Fighter V. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOz13mls_xg" rel="nofollow">As a result, she now holds the title of Korea&#39;s best Juri and best victory popoffs!</a> And another update, she&#39;s also getting into Tekken 7~ </del>Plans:I will also make sure that all their flights can possibly be with someone since it will be Tomo&#39;s first time as an adult flying to the west, whereas Poongko is experienced in traveling. I looked up flights and since I don&#39;t want our players getting beaten and thrown off their flights, I tried to pick out a reliable airline and a route that would work with the players.<a href="http://imgur.com/PD7DfMo" rel="nofollow">This is the flight I picked for Tomo. He will first be flying from Fukuoka to Incheon Airport. From there, he will fly straight to Las Vegas.</a>This is where things take a twist of fate. This is the flight for Poongko. Notice something? <a href="http://imgur.com/4x1pegV" rel="nofollow">The flight from Incheon Airport to Las Vegas is the same exact flight as Tomo&#39;s. This gives them not only r/Kappa bonding time, but also lets them keep each other company during their flight. This also actually applies to the return flight, too.</a> As for hotel, Poongko and Tomo will stay together at Luxor. <a href="http://imgur.com/V5W3RFN" rel="nofollow">Here are the costs for the hotel, and with some math, it&#39;ll be about $538.75USD.</a> <del>Please don&#39;t body us with additional resort fees, Las Vegas.</del>Over time, we&#39;re hoping to add more rewards to the fundraiser (trying to add more anime-centric prizes hopefully)! Let me know if there&#39;s any questions, suggestions, etc. Let&#39;s make this happen and bring some hype to Evo 2017!
