This weekend will play host to a major fighting game tournament here in Australia known as ‘Battle Arena Melbourne‘ (BAM!). BAM is in it’s 3rd year and 2011 is looking huge. Not only is there a tournament for Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition (Singles and 3v3 teams), Marvel vs Capcom 3, Tekken 6, 3rd Strike Online and more, but you can also be some of the first people in Australia to get their hands on the unreleased Street Fighter X Tekken, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Soul Calibur V.
BAM which is organized by our friends at Couchwarriors will be held at the CQ Hotel in the Melbourne CBD, so if you plan to come from interstate or internationally, there are plenty of places to stay, plus plenty of easy to use public transport to get around. Just remember though, pre-registration closes tonight, so if you want to save a little cash and get seeded, then you should pre-register tonight.
For those who can’t make it to the event, make sure you tune into the stream and support your favorite players as well as the Australian fighting game community. Couchwarriors will be streaming the event on the Shadowloo’s TwitchTV, so those who are following us will know as soon as the event goes live, for everyone else, check it out below, but make sure you follow us!
Attn to our friends in the media: Here is the BAM Press Release!
We have also been told that we have the good ahead to stream Street Fighter X Tekken, UMvC3 and Soul Calibur V, so we will be streaming some of it for you guys to enjoy.
