Month: March 2015

Since his emergence during Evo 2010’s Super Street Fighter IV tournament, AVerMedia’s Bruce “GamerBee” Hsiang has been a dominant force in the global fighting game scene. Hsiang, who performs at high levels with the fairly underutilized Adon, can be counted on to bring intensity to any competition he decides to enter.

Unfortunately, we haven’t seen much of Hsiang in the United States after last year’s Evolution, where he placed just outside of top eight after losses to Keita “Fuudo” Ai of Razer and HORI’s Sako Naoto, but that’s all about to change.

This weekend, the Taiwanese competitor will once again make a return to the United States, kicking off a tour whose itinerary sees him taking part in SXSW Gaming’s Fighters Invitational (streaming live now!), Final Round 18, and NorCal Regionals 2015. While the former is all about the cash and prestige, the two latter events give Hsiang the opportunity to qualify outright for Capcom Pro Tour 2015.

But he won’t just be bringing his incredible fighting game prowess with him. AVerMedia plans to run promotions for their Ultra Street Fighter IV Live Gamer Portable (check our review here) during Hsiang’s stateside visit, the first of which is scheduled to take place during Final Round. Stay tuned for more details.

With the tournament season at full steam, it’s great to see international talent once again making their way across the globe to compete against the United States’ cadre of high-level players. Let us know how you think Hsiang will fare in the comments.
