it will be a jam packed day filled with DOA goodness from the first “true” world tournament. To a photo contest to a cosplay contest. as well as several special announcements related to the franchise.

Among the players invited are: Kwiggle and XCaliburBladeZ from the US, Gehaktbal from the NL, Touko from AU, Test from KR, and UprisingJC from TW and Mitti from JP.

The tournament is Single elim. All invited players are guaranteed a seat at the top 16 where it will be best out of 3 all the way to the finals. The rest of us as well as all of japan have to fight through a blood bath of single match single elim to guarantee a spot .. >__>

For the heads up incase people are watching it off NicoNico, you need to register an account there to watch livestreams. Depending on the type of subscription the stream is using, if it's a high quality stream, you are forced to create an account to watch. If it's moderate quality, you will likely get a storm of forced advertisement that cannot be taken off by Nico videos if you are watching it unregistered.

So to avoid all those unnecessary things holding you back, create an account at NicoVideos livestream just incase.

(Unless they use Twitch. If they use Twitch then ignore what I wrote up there.)

EDIT: I just realized they made it to a Youtube Stream as well! Can't decide whether I want to watch it off twitch or Youtube.

From 10am - 5pm... Wouldn't that be like 11pm - 6am, for Eastern Central Time in NA? Or is my timing off? Just wondering for that stream.

Have fun to those from FSD who are going!

The major factor on continuing such events in the future is based on the success of the Battle Royal 2015. I really can't stress enough how important it is that everyone show up to North East Championships.

So hyped! Good luck to all the fighters, here's hoping for some Mr. Wah commentary, unless of course he's too busy rocking japan with Bass!
