UK - Anything happening this year?

[Yaguar]

Just wondering if there is anything planned in the UK this year for DOA 5?

I have some idea's involving more informal tournaments if we can see the numbers (I'd like to hit double digits, can't be asking too much can it... ?)

I'd like to see if we can get some more offline play and try boost up everyone in the UK.
Essentially the plan revolves around trying to find somewhere that would let us host it, worst case scenario may be proposing a cabin in Wales, bring a few consoles down and turn that into an offline tournament / event. I know it isn't ideal but if the numbers are low you could at least get some games and a nice weekend out of it.

Well if nothing else it is an idea towards something positive in the community.
Cheers,

There could be something happening in London after the Heart Of Gaming opens it's doors. With Gamerbase gone and Casino closing down soon, the only place people would have for gaming would probably be the HOG, which has the space and the equipment to hold casuals or weekly tourneys.

If you're outside London, then good luck. Hypespotting didn't include the game this year and other majors don't seem to really care about the game, so you're kind of on your own. UK also hasn't been really interested in the game, not because it's bad, but they already have Tekken, KOF, Marvel and SF here. Even VF doesn't get many players because they're not too numerous and scattered. Okay, maybe people don't like it because it's not 2U.

I know Wales has a good KOF scene, but that's pretty much it.
