World Game Cup 2013 This Weekend!

World Game Cup 2013 in Cannes, France is taking place this weekend and as usual, is looking to be a huge event for Soul Calibur in Europe. Players from a number of countries in and outside of Europe will be in attendance, making for a very interesting and unique event.

Among these players will be EVO 2012 SCV champion "Shining Decopon", who will be joined by 4 other Japanese players (Itazan, Hameko, Kamichang and Sawazuma) for the World Team Cup 5v5 event. If you are looking forward to this event as much as I am, you will definitely want to check out the stream running Friday - Sunday!

​

Best of luck to all participants!

Ban dat Asta next

 

I personally though Japan would simply steamroll everyone, but France gave good resistance. 1x1 going to be fun.

PS: also KamiChan turns out to be a winner of last STRIKE, so all 5 players on Jap team are top players.

 

I still cant believe Germany got 3rd with only 3 players lol

 

Lol. Imma get so much shit talk in this tourney! I just realized ASTAROTH blew niccas backsides in! Niccas talk about matchups and all that bullshit when you don't need to know a matchup so long as you know what you can do and what your opponent is gonna do.

Can't wait to see deez matches, dawg!

 

In case you hate reading or somehow missed it in the plethora of info above:

SCV will be continuing tomorrow (Saturday March 2nd) with Teams - 3v3 (Top 4) @ 6:00PM - 8:00PM CET (12:00PM EST, 9:00AM PST)

Singles (top 8) will be on Sunday at March 3rd 3:00PM - 5:00PM CET (starts 9:00AM EST, 6:00AM PST)

If anything changes, I will be sure to update these posts.

 

I also just realized that Saitoh was talking about Pyrrha Omega being unstoppable vs. Astaroth not too long ago and I never replied! This shit just keeps getting better!

 

I want to see Kalas get blown up in both 3v3 and singles.

 

Can't wait for tomorrow.

 

LP acutally drama potential is over 9000 as almost every bit of theory talk FR has came up with past years is getting blown. Too bad they will end up denying the truth anyway, but I had my lulz still.

 

France has plenty of wine to wash that salt away.

Who's ready for that 2014 runback?

 

So Team America 2014 Candidates? Whats good on that. Also When I saw Itabashi and Kamichang I was like whelp this is over (aka backs will be blown out. Without a kiss or a hug even). Lets see how these matches play out tomorrow. Im glad there was some resistance though.

 

Where can we watch the Video Footage from Mar 1 coz i missed it Q_Q ?

 

can I watch todays matches (the 5vs 5 competition) or do i need to wait until they are eventually uploaded - help pls - also detailed results on todays games?? where do i find them? thx

 

I understand some of the 3vs3's were played today - anyone have info on that - I dont think the brackets on the WGC site have been updated :(

 

Hahaha hahaha. Dat hubris. Go Japan.

 

There's video archives on NicoNico of the 5 on 5. You need an account on there to watch them. Shoutout to APCR for the links.

As well, I'd you add a nico video to our media section, it gets around the registration requirement.
