Event

The Virtua Expo 2022 is a collaboration between OReikhalKos and Tetsuko no Heya (Tetsuko's Room). It is a combination of online and offline events that includes same character tournaments and a 5on5 team tournament. Translated from Tetsuko no Heya's Website, "It may not be like the Shibuya Virtua Expos of the past, but I hope someday the Virtua Expo 2022 will be a step toward offline events in the future."

The 3rd Japan Fighting Game Publishers Roundtable will be streamed live on March 21st, 3-5:30 PM JST on both the VF Official Youtube Channel and on the Arc System Works Twitch Channel. This will be the first time Sega participates in the Roundtable. You can expect each company to give an update to their fighting game series in this Roundtable.

A new year so let's try again to summarize the VF tournaments/events around the world! We celebrate the new year with a massive 5-person online team tournament organized by Tetsuko's Room. January 2022 also marked the beginning of the 2nd Challenge Cup series and North America had its first major offline event at the Frosty Faustings!

Last Updated: March 15, 2022 Update - The 2nd Challenge Cup is Sega's official VF5US (Known as VFeS in Japan) events for Japan running from January to March 2022! The Finals for the FREE and U22 categories this March will conclude the Season 0 events! Since the 1st Challenge Cup, several changes have been made to the format.

On Sunday 5 December 9 PM Japan time there'll be an all-female team tournament. This special exhibition tournament, organised by @Tetsuko_Yamada, will feature 4 teams consisting of 5 players, facing off in a Round Robin format. Prizes are up for grabs and the event will be streamed so be sure to tune in and show your support!

Sega's finale to its first Challenge Cup will be streamed on October 10, 2022 2 PM JST (12 AM CST or 6 AM GMT+1). While the qualifiers and playoffs were done online, the two U19 and 16 FREE finalists will compete in an offline environment with no audience (due to the Covid-19 pandemic). The finals will be a single elimination, first to win two games tournament.

Many of the events, but not all (apologies!) that occurred from August 6 to August 23. Whether the event is offline or online, small or large, please share your events that you organized, participated in, or watched!

Summary and results of events that occurred between July 27 and August 5. I will try to find a more efficient way of summarizing events as this got posted much later than I had hoped!
