TL;DR - Get your ass to MBB2, no excuses!
It’s that time of year again for the biggest, baddest, and most hype event in Memphis, TN. Due to mass demand, we are proud to announce Memphis Bawse Battles 2 (MBB2). Last year’s event was a great success, loaded with hype and salty moments, and established a home for the renowned Bawse Mystery Tournament.
For this year’s event, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will be headlining. Memphis is home to some of the strongest Tekken players in the nation, including Lil Majin (best King in the world; 3rd place finisher Final Round 16) and Shinblade. If you think you have what it takes to be the King of the Iron Fist, then come get that fight money (trophy and bragging rights included).
Memphis has been a strong supporter of our neighboring states’ events in the past few years, so come support the TN fighting game community and experience what is known as “Memphis Hype”. You have almost 5 months to make plans for attendance, so please don’t wait until the last minute.
