The Pre Beat-Tribe Cup (Pre-BT Cup) is a popular 5on5 team tournament held halfway through the VFR Season. What makes the Pre-BT Cup special is the option to make a 5-person team of the same character. This year, 63 teams (over 300 players) will be playing in the event. 41 of these teams are made up of the same character with 18 of the Virtua Fighter characters represented (A Brad-only team is absent this year). In the past 4 years - Lion teams and Akira teams have each taken a pair of the Cup. Which single character team will take the title this year? Or will a blended team win it all this time!?

Date and Time: May 4, 2013 - 11 AM JST tournament start time
Stream: VFRTV Ustream Channel and on Nico Nico.
