    JapEn Cup 2008

    As some of you know, Evolving Spinner has determined to hold JapEn Cup 2008 this summer. Coco_A says some people in JEB requested that JEB tournament take place even this year. In fact, however, JEB tournament was de facto discontinued due to their poor managing, according to Saizen, so this JapEn Cup 2008 seems to be like a replacement for JEB tournament last year.

    Right. Most spinners resigned as a member because their interest in spinning or being a member dies, according to RYO, although the group itself was not disbanded.

    ES members are now RYO, coco_A, KEN, Pesp, 誠, Toro, and imu.

    The winner in the F block is Eban. This means Eban beat SEVEN as well as atyaka3 and DontolE.

    I don't think you can call it that, awesome spinners from JEB are emerging at a steady pace so it's not really "2nd gen" :D

    Date: Mon, Sep 15 2008 06:55:36

    holy cow. its not even been 2 weeks and its been viewed over 232,000 times.
    thats a record.
    anyways, i think its just that only a certain number of JEB spinners were known to
    us and others were just sorta active in their community.
    its like that almost anywhere whether it'd be kpsa or pserhome etc
    gahh i just cant stop watching this thing. already watched it like 10 times l0l
