Gamers can enter the competition via the official website up until Thursday 31st January! (Free registration)
Visitors will be able to watch the qualifying rounds, which are scheduled to take place on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th February, for free! Don't forget... Everyone other than the gamers still left in the competition will be charged on Sunday 17th, which is when the finals are scheduled to take place (*Tickets required)! This is the first time that Fukuoka will host this major international gaming contest!
Don't miss the chance to watch top gamers in action! There will be lots of awesome techniques and great gameplay on display throughout! There's no doubt that the atmosphere inside the venue will also be incredible! The event is just round the corner!
