Community "Big" Summer Jam News

The amazing Eric "Big E" Small has upped the stakes for Dead or Alive players this year. A chance at the 500 dollar prize pot bonus from Big E himself will require no entry fee. Free. This is a nice opportunity for all Dead or Alive players to dip into the waters and give tournament play a try for those that haven't already.

I asked Big E why he was giving us such a nice break:

"I'm just trying to kick start the DOA community again and show them some love. BigE Gaming cares about the DOA community."

A prize payout equivalent to a 50 man turnout... free. Check out Big E's Summer Jam page for more information and updates!

Summer Jam for me is one of the most essential tournaments for Dead or Alive. Summer Jam 6 perked my interest to competitive gaming, and really hyped DOA5 up for me a month before it came out. Now I'm doing lab work and improving daily. Here are some great Summer Jam moments to refresh:

Summer Jam 6 Interview with Lopedo DOA5 Winner

 

Oh this is the first competitive DOA tournament I ever saw. It was when I didn't even play DOA and wanted to know if it was a good game. Hell yes it's a good game. <3

 

I'm going to try my best to make this trip again!

 

Depending on how things work out, I may be able to go, we'll see.

 

free sounds great i was thinking of sitting summer jam out this year and wait for nec instead but free sounds quite good.

 

Free is always good, but being a college student, my funds are limited. I would have love to go and show people the power of the Steel Fist!

 

Wow this is great news for you guys who will go! Look forward to watching you guys fight it out.

 

There's plenty of time to prepare for this. Its like 5 months away. No excuses peeps

Don't forget TFC.

 

I'm going to jump the gun & say that I'm there like I did on Facebook, I'm looking for cheap flights, been trying to get to the northern part of Big E Gaming forever & tired of missing out. I have to get there.

 

I recommend checking out Airfarewatchdog.com

 

Free entry AND extra fighting experience with a better excuse for powerful players to show up? Hell yeah!

 

Nothing but the utmost respect for East Coast TOs... They know how to do it right.

 

Went to that link to register, but it only talks about WB8. I must know when it comes up.

 

Free is always good. But the real challenge is finding someone who actually WANTS to lodge me there... and more importantly, if it doesn't interfere with my plans for Anime Expo and gives me enough time to prep in-between, should the event actually be in August.

Don't forget TFC.

yup you bet the TFC as well i will try to save money for this its like the evolution championships series for dead or alive lol

 

I'm confused at the wording of the article. If the tournament free? Or is the fee simply waived if there are 50 or more participants?

No entry fee. $500 pot prize being provided. There is still a venue fee to pay of course.

The pot prize is the equivalent of a paid entry 50 man tournament pot prize.

Figured that out after checking with Big E's Facebook. That said, it's still poorly worded in the article.
