vVv Wins Big at MLG Spring Fighting Arena in New York!
The phrase used at MLG Columbus that kept vVv members on the edge of their seats was "Big things are going to happen." One "big thing" to happen was after the Mortal Kombat top 8. Sundance DiGiovanni, head of MLG, gathered Mortal Kombat's top 8 competitors. He congratulated them on a spectacular showing and gave them great news. MLG would be taking the top 8 from MLG Columbus to their headquarters in New York to have a small 8 man tournament between all of the top players. Due to a great performance by vVv CDjr and vVv Reo, who took first and second in Columbus, they would be on their way to MLG Headquarters to compete again for a $1500 first place!
On April 28th, the top 8 from MLG Columbus gathered at MLG Headquarters. The players were seeded based on their placement at MLG Columbus.

The pools were divided into 4 man groups. Pool A consisted of vVv CDjr, Curbolicious, RIU48 and KN DetroitBalln. Pool B consisted of vVv REO, VSM Maxter, KN Crazy Dominican and KT Smith. Each pool play match was best of 5 with the top 2 players from each pool advancing to the final bracket where first place from Pool A would play second place from Pool B and first place from Pool B would play second place from Pool A.
As pool play commenced, vVv REO displayed dominance in his pool, going 3-0 and coming out on top. vVv CDjr defeated defeated his brother, KN Crazy Dominican, and his teammate RIU48 but fell in a close match to Curbolicious 3 to 2.
