In addition to providing a serious cash bonus to the main Guilty Gear prize pool at Evo 2015, developer Arc System Works and publisher Aksys Games are also prepared to host special qualifiers for ARC REVOLUTION CUP 2015 during the event, in cooperation with Mad Catz and Team St1ckbug.

As the world’s largest gathering of ArcSys competitors, ARC REVOLUTION CUP represents the best of the best when it comes to the studio’s airdashers, and the Evo 2015 qualifiers will give American teams the opportunity to earn an all expenses paid trip to Japan for this year’s tournament as well as some extra spending money thanks to an added $5000 for each game.

Only one spot apiece is available for Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- and BlazBlue: Chronophantasma EXTEND, so definitely don’t waste your time constructing the strongest three-player team you can for a chance to compete at this prestigious event. Due the possibility of overseas travel, there are some requirements for those that end up winning, so be sure to check out Aksys’ official announcement for more details.

Evo 2015 is scheduled for July 17-19, followed by ARC REVOLUTION CUP 2015 on August 15.
