I'm competing in the Kid Icarus Championship in NYC! :D

General
So last week Sunday, my big bro and I went on down to Orlando, FL for a little Spring Break vacation. Coincidentially(?), one of only 4 GameStops in the entire USA was hosting a Kid Icarus: Uprising preview/tournament right there in Orlando. As excited as I was for the game, I didn't care too much about attending the tourney. I mean, what were the chances of being a winner? Yet somehow, my brother convinced me to stick around and compete.
And lo and behold, I managed to pass the Elimination Round and got to move on to the Finals. And from there I managed to come in second place, overall! :D
As for the prize? Along with winning a free copy of KI:U, a $150 GameStop gift card, and a few other things, The top 3 winners from each region gets an all expense paid trip to New York City to compete in the Championship!
And for a little added motivation, the Championship prize from there is another(?) free copy of KI:U, a $500 GameStop gift card, a limited edition Kid Icarus emblazoned 3DS, a copy of Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Pilot Wings, Starfox 64 3D, and a trophy decked out with wings.
So what went from me not caring enough to compete, becomes a free trip, free prizes, and a chance to win something bigger!
So yeah, major thanks to my bro for making me go in on it. He's also gonna be my +1 for the trip, as I get to bring a guest.
And I hope to have a travel Vlog posted to my Youtube channel ---> [ http://www.youtube.com/user/DTFaux ] when I return victorious (hopefully).
I also plan to give a little play-by-play on my Twitter (that I hardly ever use) when its time to head out ---> [ https://twitter.com/#!/DTfox ]
Good golly, I'm so excited for this! :D

But congrats, that's definitely once in a life time chance...
And thanks. Hopefully this'll be my time to shine [and hopefully its not all downhill from here :V ].
Tell me about it though, maybe one day I'll find an AC tournament...but good luck! Make sure you get to see New York :)
If all else fails, I say host an AC tourney of your own. Be it for fun or with a money pool.
And I'll do my best! Its definitely not my first time being in NYC, but hey, might as well rock a free trip for all its worth. :D
...but, I shall consider the possibility of hosting a tournament, even if it'll be awkard to win my own tournament :D
In my country they never do such cool gmaing competitions. <=3
Whatever, Good luck, dude.
Win, and be grander than anyone ever before!
And if you see a Korean... duck and roll! It confuses them, and maybe just long enough to win.
