Month: July 2015

Big E Gaming’s Northeast Championships tournament series has always provided some of the hypest competition on the east coast. Held in December of each year, these events typically serve as the culmination of a whole year of competitive play for many games and communities and, as such, many players are eager to get one final shot in before the year ends.

For this year’s tournament, it looks like there’s going to be even more incentive to show what you’ve learned over the past few months. Big E Gaming has just announced the prize pool bonuses for some of the games, and they’re quite generous.

The biggest pot bonus at the moment goes to Dead or Alive 5 Last Round at $3,000. Northeast Championships 16 represents the final tournament of the Battle Royale tour, so this isn’t unexpected. However, other games are getting hefty, four-figure additions as well; check out the confirmed list of bonuses below.

• Dead or Alive 5 Last Round – $3,000
• Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- – $2,000
• Soulcalibur V – $1950-$2,250
• King of Fighters XIII – $1,000
  
• Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late – $750
  
• Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 – $750
  
• Skullgirls 2nd Encore – $1,000
• Killer Instinct – confirmed bonus from Big E, amount unspecified

Be sure to note that this isn’t all we’ll see, as the tournament organizers are also considering a bonus for Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Additional information will be shared after Summer Jam 9.

Northeast Championships XVI is scheduled for December 4-6.
