Community International Exhibition to Take Place at NEC

As the final stop in the 2016 Battle Royal, NEC has been on the mind of the competitive community since early this year. As the most consistently well-represented major in the Dead or Alive tournament scene, there is always a great interest in the event, and not just because of the tournament itself. There have been announcements, giveaways, and, most relevant to this article, some really fun exhibition matches. This year will be no different! Today we are announcing an international exhibition match pitting the finest the US has to offer against our friends and community members from other parts of the world.

Being that exhibition matches do not need a whole lot of explanation, I'll just get right to the roster.

Representing the United States of America:
Crazy Steady (California)
SYN Static Shock (Texas)
Kwiggle (Delaware)
XCalibur BladeZ (New York)
Master (Texas)
Rikuto (New York)
H00dless (Illinois)

Representing the Global Community:
Soy (Korea)
Ebabil Guney (Australia)
Gehaktbal (Netherlands)
Tanii (Japan)
JC Akira (Japan)
Siologica (Japan)
Teru Rock (Japan)

This 7 vs. 7 USA vs. The World [The World vs. USA?] Exhibition Match will take place before the Team Tournament Friday, the 16th of December. What an impressive way to kick off our final major of the year, no? Let us know who you think will take out who!

 

Big thanks to all the competitors coming out to show us some top level DOA

Let's see some hype matches GL HF all!!

 

No Sweet Revenge at this tournament? That's too bad.

 

Sounds GREAT

 

No vote? Only players that should of had a guaranteed spot are Cali and Kwiggs. I could see why Emann too since he got 2nd last year, but some players on this list didn't even compete this year. If I was someone like Blackmoon who traveled literally all year and placed high I'd be pretty heated. No Sonic Fox either? Hm I guess politics are politics. I guess it'll be fun to watch though.

 

Is this something that is supported by team ninja or just something fun thrown together? Just curious because I don't have/know of a streamer for the 3v3 tournament. 3v3 is just for fun.

Thrown together, but Bifu is the current planned streamer for both events.

 

I see the list but who else is actually competing next weekend?

 

Hmmm interesting

Right after the exhibition is @Sly Bass 3v3 tournament which includes every person in the exhibition and then some.

The next day is the solo tournament which will have more people than the 3v3
