Meet & Greet / Hello from Atlanta, Ga.

« on: October 03, 2011, 04:53:15 PM »

Hello everyone,

Some of you may have heard of me before, but if you haven't i'm ShinBlanka and I run one of the oldest Fighting game tournaments in the United State called "FINAL ROUND".  I've always loved snk games and with that love i've always had snk games apart of my event.  My main goal is to grow the fgc as a whole and to make our hobby turn into a profession!  FGC is so awesome and if games like starcraft and halo can become a profession for players then why can't fighting games.  I'm also the best at real Bout Special period so if you want to get at me in that game GET AT ME YO!!!

FINAL ROUND XV

MARCH 2-4, 2012
ATLANTA, GA.


 We are proud to announce that FINAL ROUND XV will be on March 2-4, 2012. The hype doesn't stop and we had to start extra early on planning for FR15. As of right now the Major game roster for FRXV are as followed:

1. Super Street Fighter 4 AE v.2012
2. Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom3
3. Soul Calibur V
4. Mortal Kombat9
5. BlazBlue Continuum Shift 2
6. Melty Blood AACC (PC only)
7. TekkenTagTournamentHD
8. King Of Fighters 13
9. Street Fighter III 3rd strike online edition
10. Tekken6


The systems used will be PS3 for the time being. This may change if I get sponsorship from another source. Other games will be added to the list, but those are the core games that will be played at FR15 up to this moment. We have A LOT IN STORE for people that plan to attend FR15 that we will be hinting towards throughout the year. Being the 15th anny of FR we have to do it BIG this year event and that is one reason we are changing venues for FR15.

As always we aim to bring you the best tournament you've ever competed in each and every year and FR15 will try to top this years event! We are upgrading the venue from this past year event and we hope everyone will enjoy our new venue. The "WESTIN" is the new home of FR15 and here's the location:

The "WESTIN" Atlanta Perimeter North

7 Concourse Parkway
Atlanta,Georgia
30328
United States

With the 15th aniversary of Final Round we felt that we had to upgrade on the venue and we heard the complaints about having to pay for parking. This year there will be NO PARKING FEE'S!!!!! That goes for players that get a room at the hotel or for those that want to spectate. The Room rates will be $93.00 per night (Normally $165) if you reserve under the Final Round 15 group rate.

I CAN'T WAIT for this event to happen! If you think your serious about Fighting games and you always wanted to come to Final Round, but never had the chance to attend then don't MISS the 15th aniversary of FINAL ROUND!
