GSquared Jake has announced an online freestyle contest called “The People’s Showdown”, featuring a pre-selected group of players battling for a $500 cash prize!
The tournament starts with all the players divided into two pools. Each player gets 1 throw and 30 seconds. Viewers vote on their favorite, and the top 3 vote receivers from each pool advance to the bracket.
In the bracket, each player will submit new tricks to face off against one opponent at a time in single elimination match-ups. (The top vote receiver from each pool will have a first round by in the bracket play.)
Winner of the tournement takes home $500 cash!
The player list is a pretty fantastic all-star lineup of current contest champs. Competing in the tournament are: Loris Rosa, Tylor McCallumore, Jesse Christe, Ethan Cheung, Alex Gallimore, Andrew Maider, Mike Marshall, Andrew Bergen, Colin Beckford, Patrick Canny, Michael Montgomery, and Michael Ferdico.
