Tournaments

On Sunday, France will be conducting their first in a series of ranking battle for Soulcalibur V, where France's best players will battle it out to determine France's best Soulcalibur V player. France has been conducting ranking battles throughout the Soulcalibur series, so it's good to see them now commence for SCV.

Along with SCV, there will also be ranking battles for Soulcalibur IV, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, and possibly Soulcalibur II. Make sure you tune in tomorrow for the event which is scheduled to begin on Sunday 9/30/2012 at 10AM Paris/4AM Eastern and is being streamed by Hazu.

August 24th- Aug. 27th, While America had it's own major tournament (MLG), in Germany, East Brandenburg Open (EBO for short), was also going on. Big names such as Ring, Hyrul, Malek, Pantocrator, daGOTTh, JAG, and others that can be viewed further into the article, were battling it out for the "champion" title of EBO.

With the aftermath proving to be in Ring's favor, I thought I'd catch up with some of the top placers via EBO. As well as posting the results, links towards the videos, and pictures taken by our very own community members all the way from Germany.
