When did this become a thing? Cool stuff.
On July 28, Capcom is hosting America’s first-ever Monster Hunter: World tournament in search of the fastest hunters in the country. Teams of two will compete to take down massive monsters, like the bristly beast Nergigante, in the fastest time possible. Challengers will compete to take home the Grand Prize: a trophy, a pair of high-end Monster Hunter watches, and a trip to Japan to represent the U.S. at the global invitational exhibition event during Tokyo Game Show 2018 in September!
We’d like to extend an invite to you or any local San Francisco editors to attend for coverage consideration of the competition and event. Please let us know names and we’ll make sure they’re added to the press list at the entrance.
Hunters must register by July 26 to participate! All competitors will also receive a goodie bag for participating that includes a USA Championship t-shirt and more. More details on the event and registering can be found here: http://monsterhunterworld.com/championship/us/
In addition to the competition, there will be other activities for attending spectators to enjoy for free including signing sessions with the game developers, unique photo opps, raffles, an art gallery, and special Monster Hunter challenges.
The heated final Top 8 as well as other activities will be streamed with live commentary at: https://www.twitch.tv/capcomusa.
