While Capcom Cup 2018 and NEC 19 raged on in the United States, some great battles were also brewing in Coburg North, Victoria, Australia, as the seventh Saga Event of the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour took place at CouchWarriors Crossup. Tournaments were also held in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Tekken 7, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, Under Night In-Birth EXE: Late[st], SoulCalibur VI, Rivals of Aether, Million Arthur: Arcana Blood, Project M, Super Smash Bros. 64, and Super Smash Bros. Melee. The conclusion of this event would determine the fate of the seventh and final Dragon Ball, as well as whether we’ll be going into next month’s World Tour Finals at Red Bull Final Summoning with four or five Dragon Ball holders in the final eight-player bracket.

Our four Dragon Ball holders and currently qualified players are now set:
- GGP|Kazunoko (#1 Seed, Four Dragon Balls)
- Echo Fox|SonicFox (1 Dragon Ball)
- CO|GO1 (1 Dragon Ball)
- NRG|HookGangGod (1 Dragon Ball)
