You may already be familiar with Numskull for their variety of licensed video game-themed goodies, including their notable Chun-Li and Guile hoodies. As per the season, Numskull is offering these official Street Fighter holiday sweaters, combining the gaudiness of classic Christmas jumpers with retro-styled Street Fighter characters. We briefly previewed them back in October; they are now available to order, and there’s four different styles: Blanka vs. M. Bison, Guile vs. Cammy, Ken vs. Ryu, and Sagat vs. Chun-Li:

As part of the government-backed British Esports Association, which attempts to “support, promote and instill good governance for amateur esports players and teams.” this national competitive gaming body has set up an advisory board to help guide the development of esports within the UK. Alongside representatives from companies like Twitch, veteran commentators and founders of certain esports organizations, FGC stalwart Ryan Hart has been picked to be part of this advisory board, acting as the main FGC representative out of the other selected members.

Ryan will sit on this board for the next 12 months, starting on January 2017, where the group will meet to discuss areas of UK esports which are in need of development, as well as a place to offer guidance on how those areas could be improved. With Ryan sitting on this council of other respected esports figures, he can hopefully grow the FGC in the UK and bring more large events to the country.

The British Esports Association’s first foray into the FGC was via the eGames Showcase in Rio de Janerio back in the summer, which saw representatives from the USA, Canada, the UK, Germany, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil battling it out in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Seeing the success of events like Capcom Cup, Evo 2016 and other massive FGC tournaments throughout 2016, let’s hope that more fighting games will be focused on by this Association, and that more big events will come as a result.
