Weds Night Fights: Online Edition 2015 Tournament Season
Wednesday Night Fights (WNF), Southern California’s premier weekly fighting game event, celebrates five years of quality competition, insightful commentary, and amazing fighting game personalities. From garages to amusement centers, WNF is the most successful event in finding talented players in SoCal and preparing them for the largest tournaments in the country. But what about everyone else? Since participation is limited to a region, many challengers are on the sidelines without a chance to compete… until now. Introducing Wednesday Night Fights: Online Edition.
WNF returns in 2015 with a brand new Season of Street Fighter tournaments streamed every Weds starting Feb. 18. The next generation of WNF players will now get an opportunity to compete vs Canada, USA, and Mexico for prizes, true regional skill standings, and a FREE flight to SoCal Regionals 2015! Taking the fight to a platform that is accessible and predominantly used for competitive gaming, we’re also excited to announce the WNF platform of choice is Steam(PC)! We’re bringing the fight to your doorstep in 2015 with more challengers than ever before! How much does this cost to enter? Weds Night Fights Online Edition is absolutely FREE TO ENTER!
