UGTL is having another one of their kickass events on Saturday and WOW, it’s written about on the LA Times web site! Not quite sure when the last time competitive Street Fighter was written about on the LA Times (which means I don’t think it ever has), so high fives to them and Alex Valle for being quoted on the article as well as our friends at Get Your Tournament.
From the article:
The event, equal parts party and competition, starts at 2 p.m. with a three-hour open bar (there’s a $10 cover), a taco truck, DJs, artists and retailers, and it goes on until about 10 p.m., when a victor is crowned (and paid). There is also a separate $10 registration fee, from which the last UGTL winner was awarded $350. More people are expected to enter Saturday, and the pot will grow.
There’s a lot going on,” Marquez said. “There’s music, there’s art to look at — I did it to make sure I appealed to everyone and to everyone’s five senses.” There will even be a casual gaming lounge hosted by gaming site Get Your Tournament, where old-school games can be played on original Nintendo or Sega systems.
