The 4 main events (Guilty Gear -Strive- , Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8 & Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising) will all be played on PC. If you are to attend on any of these tournaments, please bring with you a controller that is compatible with these platforms. This is to keep technical difficulties at a minimum and to keep the tournaments to run as smooth and efficient as possible. We are sorry for any inconveniences and we hope you understand.

Side events will be played on a variety of different platforms so there is less of a restriction to what kind of controllers you choose.

Attendees are more than welcome (and are encouraged) to join for several different events if they wish. The main events will naturally be prioritized, so if you are called up to play, please go to your announced station.

Regular tournament rules will be followed and are listed below:
