KOFXIV Championship Afterparty announced

If you're looking forward to the KOFXIV World Championship Four Kings Tournament in Japan next month--a historical moment for SNK as their first time hosting a worldwide event of this scale, you won't want to miss this afterparty event either.

Following the Championship, America's largest arcade parts reseller and Japan's largest arcade parts manufacturer, Arcadeshock and Sanwa will be hosting a post-tournament event in Tokyo the next day, Feb 19.

EVO 2013 KOFXIII champion Reynald Tacsuan will be attending the event, which will be open to public and feature both casuals and a 2-on-2 tournament.

Given that it's happening just the day after the tournament, it's likely that we'll probably see other top players from across the globe participating in this event as well.　

The event will be coordinated by the FGC organization Tokyo Button Mashers.

Prizes:


KOFXIV Sanwa Pushbutton
Souvenior for first 100 visitors


MADCATZ TE2+
1st place prize (total 2 units)


FS Transporter 2
Arcade stick back, 1st & 2nd place prize (total 4 units)


Sanwa Original Stick
Random drawing, all visitors eligible (1 unit)

I'm not planning on sight seeing for this time-- Only there for one thing. It'll be an interesting tournament, that's for sure.

I'm also looking forward to playing with Japanese players at the next-day event, to learn more about the game and other people's mindsets outside of the US.
