Season 2 of Stream.me’s Kombat Cup Starts on February 12th

Following a successful season last year and ahead of the launch of Injustice 2 in May, Stream.me are hosting another series of their online Mortal Kombat X tournament series, Kombat Cup. Starting on February 12th, kombatants will compete for over $12,000 in prize money over 13 weekly tournaments, with the Kombat Cup Season 2 Finale happening on May 14th.

Every week will have a top 8 qualifier on either Sunday or Monday, with the top 8 from that event competing for league points and cash prizes on Wednesday. All top 16 placers will receive league points in these qualifier events, with the top 4 receiving cash for their efforts.  There will also be a separate Thursday Konquest tournament, where players can compete for just league points. The weekly schedule and the points breakdown will be available on the Kombat Cup Season 2 smash.gg page, when registration goes live on February 5th.

So far, Kombat Cup Season 1 champions FOX|SonicFox and players from Noble eSports like Noble|Dragon are already planned to compete in Season 2, so get ready for some tough competition come February 12th.

Inspired by Tatsunoko vs. Capcom at Frosty Faustings IX? Join the Growing TvC Netplay Community

As seen with its exciting top 8 at Frosty Faustings IX, there is a bit of groundswell for a potential revival for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom as players return to the 2v2 fighter ahead of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. With buzz returning to this Wii-exclusive title, the small netplay community for TvC is attempting to rally more people to the cause through the special Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Discord.

Since the Wii’s online matchmaking is now offline, members of the TvC Discord play together using the Dolphin emulator and have started to run weekly netplay tournaments to test the waters of competition. There is even a dedicated YouTube channel for tournament replays and match highlights, if you are interested in the current state of TvC netplay.

The winner of the Frosty Faustings IX tournament, MagnoMan is an active competitor in the netplay scene, as well as Obiiwan, a top player from Croatia. If you are at all interested in either learning or relearning Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, check out the replay channel and the Discord for extra information.
