Ghost Gaming enters the fighting game arena by signing Kenneth “K-Brad” Bradley

Following his departure from his long-standing team Evil Geniuses, Kenneth “K-Brad” Bradley has wasted no time in getting picked up by a new organization. The organization in question is Ghost Gaming — a relatively new North American esports team, known for their presence in shooters like CS:GO, Call of Duty, Gears of War and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, as well as Rocket League.

K-Brad will be the first fighting game player on the team, and he’s definitely one of the best people for bringing Ghost Gaming into the world of the FGC. While he missed out on Capcom Cup 2017, K-Brad made waves throughout the year, whether through high placings at events like Northwest Majors, Frosty Faustings IX and East Coast Throwdown, or via his on-going feud with Wolfkrone.

With Dignitas also throwing its hat back into the ring, we could be seeing another surge of esports organizations taking a gamble on the FGC, as a huge raft of games are on the way.

The stage select screen is also briefly displayed, revealing 13 historic Dragon Ball battlegrounds to choose from, as well as extra room for perhaps some DLC arenas or hidden surprises?

We’ve also gotten some more information on the upcoming Announcer Voice DLC that was delayed for Ultimate Edition owners, as replays during the open beta have revealed that the World Tournament Announcer, who makes several appearances throughout Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and GT, will be available to provide commentary on matches, bringing his characteristic hype and eccentricities to matches in a similar to Persona 4 Arena‘s various Navigators.
