Today, we’re happy to share extensive updates to Red Bull Conquest, the recently announced fighting game tournament circuit empowering competitors to represent their local fighting game scene and embark on the journey to RISE. RALLY. CONQUER. The tournament circuit will travel to 15 qualifiers across the United States, with one additional online qualifier, to determine which region has the best players in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, TEKKEN 7, and Guilty Gear Xrd REV2.
We are also announcing Red Bull’s partnership with four renowned FGC commentators and personalities to host each of the regional qualifying events in the Conquest series. Tasty Steve, Yipes, Persia and Vicious will be on-the-ground ambassadors at each of the regional qualifying events this summer, hosting, streaming and generally bringing their FGC expertise to the proceedings. While all four may not be at each and every event, one or more of them will be in attendance at all of the regional tournaments, culminating with the Washington D.C. Red Bull Conquest National Final and Last Chance Qualifier in November.
The first regional event kicks off later this month in Chicago, at Ignite Gaming Lounge on April 28. If you are in the area, we’d love to have you out to see the kick-off of this incredible series. Please let us know if you can join. The Chicago event, like all others, will be streamed at RedBull.TV or twitch.tv/redbull
