COMBO BREAKER LAUNCHES A NEW COMMUNITY TOURNAMENT INITIATIVE FOR OUR 2020 EVENT!

The fighting game genre is full of incredible, fun-to-play titles. Every year COMBO BREAKER strives to present as many of these games as we can, but fall short due to our community’s amazing wealth of competitive games. To help with this, COMBO BREAKER is partnering with KIT Gaming and Net Battles to help create a new and improved Community Tournament experience. With the assistance of these trusted tournament operators, COMBO BREAKER will be able to offer a new Bring Your Own Console experience that creates an event within an event, complete with its own dedicated stage spectacle, COMBO BREAKER tournament medals, stream(s), and more!

Approved Community Tournaments will be managed in part by COMBO BREAKER and feature a single destination registration page once tournaments have been approved. This should help ease the promotional burden of independent organizers and provide a 1-stop-shop for Community Tournament enthusiasts. Community Tournament game registration will open in February.
