– UPDATED: Black Friday’s Coming! Be Prepared!

It’s that time of year, and rather than inundate you with tons of news posts about all the gaming sales we find, we thought it might be good to just have one ongoing forum thread that we’ll add to. Additionally, you guys can post deals and discusss what you find here too. Sound like a plan?

SNK Announces The King of Fighters XIV Esports Support Program

SNK’s The King of Fighters XIV has seen quite a lot of tournament play since its release. The latest iteration of the franchise has seen tournaments at multiple events, such as SEA Major, SoCal Regionals and Canada Cup, something bolstered by SNK’s own The King of Fighters XIV World Championship, of which the events have been qualifiers for. That said, it seems that SNK wants to grow this even further.

SNK has just announced their “King of Fighters XIV e-Sports Support Program.” The program in question allows tournament organizers to apply to SNK for additional support such as prize pool bonuses, as well as a possible World Championship qualifier slot. The only limitations are that the event should be an offline tournament taking place before August 31, 2017 (or January 29, 2017, for those who want to become World Championship qualifiers), and have a minimum of 20 participants.

Tournaments are part of what keeps the competitive scene alive for any game. As such, it’s nice to see SNK stepping up to give further support these tournaments and events.
