Earlier this month, we had reported on the large pot bonuses accrued on The King of Fighters XIV for Northeast Championships 17 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At the time, the pot bonuses were totaling $3100, with portions being donated by Atlus, the game’s publisher, the Texas King of Fighters community, and Eric “Big E” Small–the NEC tournament organizer–himself.
While this was already large, it appears that there is more in store for this game, which is a part of SNK Playmore’s World Premier Tour at NEC17. According to the tweet below, should The King of Fighters XIV hit the 256-entrant mark, the guaranteed pot for the game will reach $7000. Doing the math, that adds up to over $1300 more in pot bonuses than the original $3100 originally stated by Big E earlier this month.
