Eighty Sixed is already confirmed to be offering prizes for other AnimEvo events. Could the future Gundam prizes be related, or is perhaps Bandai Namco offering their support behind this free-to-enter tournament?
Lastly @EightySixed will be providing prizes to the winners of +R, P4U, Yatagarasu, AH3 & UNIEL. Check their merch @ https://t.co/FSIM4Uoypk pic.twitter.com/5PVwPiNxQp
