SoCal Regionals 2013
After a little break in 2012, SoCal Regionals returns bigger and better for the fighting game community in 2013! We’re excited to announce our return to Irvine in collaboration with the Fighting Gamers @ UCI for 3 full days of fighting games action!
**Fighting Gamers @ UCI **
*“FightingGamers@UCI (FG@UCI) is a student organization on the campus of the University of California, Irvine (UCI) for people who have an interest in fighting games. What began as a small club for UCI students, FG@UCI is now a community comprised of Southern California’s most passionate fighting gamers. *
Our mission is to host gatherings where fighting gamers can befriend, play, and learn with others. We accomplish this by providing a positive and enriching environment through our weekly sessions and occasional special events, which are all held at UCI and open to the general public. We strive to provide our members with resources necessary to enable their passion for fighting games.” - Fighting Gamers @ UCI
