Community Donations Sending FGC|Pepeday to DreamHack Winter 2014

A few weeks ago, the r/Kappa subreddit held a successful fundraiser to send Japanese El Fuerte player Pepeday, from the Fukuoka Gamers Club, to The Fall Classic 2014. Now, the communty has banded together once again, raising money to send him to another Capcom Pro Tour qualifier–DreamHack Winter 2014.

After his performance in the United States, where he tied for fifth in The Fall Classic’s Ultra Street Fighter IV tournament and beat Snake Eyez in a first-to-ten exhibition, Pepeday quickly found his way onto the shortlist of players who the subreddit was looking to send to the Europe.

While the drive has a few days left, they have already made almost twice as much as their stated goal of $1,590. That said, anyone interested can still head over and donate to the drive.

DreamHack Winter 2014 will take place November 27-30 in Jönköping, Sweden, with the Capcom Pro Tour event itself scheduled for November 29. As a premier event, the first-place finisher will earn automatic entry into the Capcom Cup finals in December.
