Keep the 6th of October free, because the Grand Master Challenge team have organised another Super Turbo Sunday at the Heart of Gaming in London. Join us for a day of casuals, solo and team tournaments on Sega VS City arcade cabinets, running Super Street Fighter 2X on CPS2 hardware which is kindly being recorded and streamed by The Wonder Park.
Following the success and the positive feedback from our last event, we have decided to come back and do it all again. Judging by the interest people have shown already, this meet may very well have an even larger turn out with players travelling from Sheffield, Birmingham, Leeds, Reading and Gloucester. We just hope the London players are feeling confident enough to defend their turf against all these outsiders!
In addition to the solo double elimination tournament we are adding in a second side tournament in the evening, the format and theme we will change up with each meet. This meet will be a 2vs2 single elimination team tournament.
We will also be handing out free event posters to those of you that have joined our facebook event page.
