They point out that Tekken 7 and Street Fighter V have a high number of unique attendants — that is, people who are registered solely for those games. On the other hand, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike has two people coming exclusively to compete in it. They also mention a pretty high number for Mortal Kombat 9, the game that brought the Hadou into the FGC.

A notable announcement occurred with Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st]. The Hadou revealed that there will be a special 4 vs. 4 exhibition that will take place on the main stage and on stream.

Other than that, the participants continued to discuss how Combo Breaker serves the FGC, catering to all kinds of players, continuing the tradition of certain events like the Mystery Game Tournament. The Hadou’s ultimate advice to other tournament organizers? “Make your staff bigger.”

Canada Cup Masters Series 2018 results

Masters Series comes back with a vengeance!

Canada Cup Masters Series returned to Calgary, Alberta this past weekend, with some impressive displays of skill from both locals of Edmonton and Calgary, other Canadian players, and a batch of pro players that traveled in to strut their stuff. Hosted by Lap Chi Duong, the event offered competition in ten different fighting titles, and took an interesting twist by holding the Street Fighter V top 8 as a round-robin, rather than completing the double-elimination bracket.
