Following last year’s overwhelming success which saw players from the US and beyond converge on the Puerto Rico Convention Center, First Attack is launching a pre-emptive strike by announcing that it will return this September. Releasing a short teaser video ahead of its full reveal, First Attack 2017 is set to run from September 2nd to 3rd and promises yet another action-packed weekend.

With it being a Ranking Event during the CPT 2016 season, I would not be surprised if the event keeps its Ranking status for this year. First Attack 2016 saw the West’s first real introduction to the young Rashid wonder, John Takeuchi, who took his first international tournament at the age of 18 by beating veteran Street Fighter player Go1. Here’s hoping the Turbulent Wind will return to Puerto Rico to defend his throne. With the Caribbean and Central America being full of undiscovered talent, I can image this year’s event will not be easy for any visiting challengers.
Expect more details from the First Attack team very soon and make sure to watch the teaser below in anticipation for the big reveal.
