Blue Blurs for Life!
Ladies and gentlemen, two months from now...we will be faced with the rise of one of the greatest Killer Instinct tournaments to grace the FGC, where so much will be on the line. Beginning on the 13th of December, Ultra Arcade will host Kombo Klash, a tournament which is all about Killer Instinct. In addition to the 2013 title that became so beloved by the players, both of the legendary Killer Instinct classic titles, KI and KI2, will be available to play. This event is officially sponsored by Xbox!


As described in the image above, a $3,000 pot bonus will be at stake for those who wish to compete in Killer Instinct 2013. But wait, there's more: as the first-place winner, you will be granted the chance to fly to Japan in 2015 for the chance to compete in their iteration of the Kombo Klash, for free. Ultra Arcade will sponsor you with every possible benefit including flight, hotel, and venue fees. Consider this your chance to earn a glimpse into how Japan is growing their FGC scene for Killer Instinct, along with other fighting games of all varieties!

If this revelation is causing you to froth at the mouth from excitement, then you better get to practicing NOW.

As this IS an invitational, this means that all participants must receive an invite from Ultra Arcade's staff to be considered for inclusion. However, they will surely have nothing against those wishing to spectate.
