Osirun from Power Up will be giving away $30 redemption coupons to all of the 1st place finishers of each of the main events at Frosty Faustings IV. There will be one ticket for each main tournament (singles), so that would be a total of 5 tickets (GGAC, SSFIV, UMvC3, BBCS, MK9). This is a nice added bonus and is in addition to any prize money that the top finishers will win otherwise. Thanks to Osirun for giving these away!

About me and Frosty Faustings: I used to live in Chicago and am one of the most well known Guilty Gear players from the US. I have been living in Japan for almost 4 and a half years.
