Introducing KO Gaming Lounge, a brand new venue located in Rowland Heights, which offers a modern take on casual gaming, daily streaming, and competitive events. Kicking off their first tournament for the fighting game community, they are graciously hosting an awesome lineup of games including Ultra Street Fighter IV, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat X, and Guilty Gear Xrd to welcome some of the most popular scenes in SoCal. But wait, there’s more! KO Gaming Lounge is also providing $500 cash bonus split across the titles, special raffles, giveaways, and much more!

Level Up is co-hosting the event by providing a smooth tournament and viewing experience for the players and fans at home! We’re excited for the future of SoCal events in 2016 as Los Angeles gets such a wonderful venue to grow the scene.
