Based off the original 5G event from Japan, Red Bull is bringing this 5v5 tournament to the UK this September to determine which side of the UK is better at video games; the North or the South. Players choose which region they can support, as well as the game they wish to compete in with Street Fighter V acting as the fighting game of choice for this tournament.
The online qualifiers for Street Fighter V will be on the 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd of September, with the top players from each of those online events going to a final qualifier on the 27th. In October, there will be regional finals in Manchester and London to determine the single Street Fighter representative for both Team North and South, with the Red Bull 5G final happening in November. The exact location and date of the regional and grand final are yet to be confirmed so keep your eyes peeled for that information. Winners of the final will get an all-expenses paid trip to Japan, the home of the original 5G event.
Additional information can be found on the official Red Bull 5G page and you can sign up right here if you want a shot at that trip to Japan. As part of this promotion, Red Bull are even offering codes for the Hot Ryu skin on special 4-packs of Red Bull. If you haven’t got the skin and are in need of some energy, Red Bull has you covered.
