GVN WINTER BRAWL Less Than Two Weeks Away!

The 7th Annual GVN Winter Brawl, one of the long-time Dead or Alive tournament event supporters, will be starting in less than two weeks on February 23. Coming right off the heels of SoCal Regionals and Big E Gaming's North East Championships 13 it's time to see if XCalibur BladeZ can defend his North East crown from EMP Black Mamba.


The event has forgone the Tag 2v2 Pair Play event in favor of doing a Team Battle tournament that the GVN and Big E Gaming events are known for. Teams of two players will play in a team battle Singles setting on Saturday before the Dead or Alive 5 Singles event starts.

In addition, on Sunday there will be the return of the Dead or Alive 5 Tag 1v1 tournament to coincide with the changes made in the 1.03A patch.

However, that's not all of the news for this event: Team NINJA has graciously donated $500 to the pot total of the Dead or Alive 5 Singles event for Winter Brawl!

Also, Tom Lee, Creative Director of Team NINJA, will be in attendance to watch the matches put on throughout the tournament and meet all of the fans for Dead or Alive that show up at the event.

Damn. I really wish I could be there, but it's looking like I might have to miss out due to work. Hope everyone going has a blast, though.
 
Big Question... Black Mamba is even going to participate? because he said he dropped the game. idk.
2nd question: Where this tourney is going to be streamed?
 
Okay people keep getting confused. Mamba said that he was done making blog entries, because of all the complaining about the Helena tech. He is still playing the game.
