The ZOWIE Fighter Extreme Series in the UK is about the players, all you have to do is ask the people that attended the first event, and we want to reach as many Street Fighter players as possible, not just due to the prize money and the opportunity to attend a European final event but to learn and grow. It was refreshing to see so many players speaking to the top players about their losses and learning, we want that balance of community, FGC event and top level play that we love to see and get hyped about!
