That’s the news and we go onwards to the results. Inferno 14 has been and gone with results here. Cobelcog has made a triumphant return to winning ways. Going all the way through winners, he has banished all thoughts of fourth place finishes. Gorysnake put in a good performance, returning to the his reliable Cody to take second place. In third place we have Dreddybajs, who shocked the world by counter-picking himself on more then one occasion.

Project Fi.G.H.T.S. – Old School Tournaments

Posted by Orim on October 23, 2010 2 comments

Project Fi.G.H.T.S. (Fighting Game Hype Tournament Series) is going to be a new series of tournaments run by Yreval. These tournaments are going to be a different game every month(ish) and it’s going to be games that there isn’t a huge amount of competitive play for. It’s the games that people want to see some competitive play (if only for a day) and maybe build up a bit more support so there can be more tournaments for the game of the month.

The first event is going to be Street Fighter Alpha 3 tournament at the Dragonslayers 24 event on the 23rd of this month. Read more »

So it’s no surprise that we give you another tournament that’s going to slot right in so all your weekends will be filled with fighting games.

It’s Gaelcon 2010 and they are going to be running SSF4 and Brawl tournaments. Read more »

Posted by Orim on October 19, 2010 No comments

As I have been doing constantly for the last little while, I’m announcing another tournament. At least this is another of our tournaments. In fact it’s the big one because it’s Inferno 14!

We’re on the move again, so this month it will be held in Exchange Dublin. It’s a great spot in Temple Bar with plenty of room for the tournament and it’s across the way from the Porter House for after the tournament.

Doors will open at 10:00 for casuals and registration. Read more »
