Scotland’s First national Fighters Tournament – Hypespotting

Sep 28, 2011 // Snow

We know you can’t believe what your eyes are seeing, but it’s true: Scotland is getting its own legitimate ranking battle season for fighting games, as well as a proper tournament! Here’s a few details about the event from the site: 

“Get Hype! On the 24th and 25th of March,  Versus Scotland  will be bringing Scotland its very own national fighters tournament –  Hypespotting 2012 .  Happening in  Glasgow , this will be Scotland’s largest games tournament to date and with all cash from tournaments going directly to the players, you can be sure to see some big names and popular faces in attendance! 

We will host five tournaments over the two day event. With a cash pot and exclusive prizes donated from  Capcom  and  Rising Star  to name a few, plus the title of ‘Scottish Champion’ on the line, it’s all to play for. The official line up is  SSF4:AE Ultimate Marvel Versus Capcom 3  and  King of Fighters XIII , with another two games to be decided by a community vote!

Taking place at the  Thistle Hotel  in Glasgow city centre,  Hypespotting 2012  will be very accessible for everyone, being within walking distance of Buchanan Bus Station and Queen Street train station; getting to the venue couldn’t be easier!

The area has plenty of affordable accommodation for the weekend and there are plenty of restaurants and bars for socialising and eating during the event.  Also nearby is the legendary Sauchiehall Street, filled with pubs restaurants and clubs.

As usual for Versus Scotland events, this one is also a licensed event, with a bar being made available until 2am.  We will also be providing an  online stream  over the weekend, to allow the world to share in the hype with us.

We will be hosting a series of online and offline events to make sure that everyone has a chance to level up their game – this is the official ‘road to Hypespotting’ ranking battle season.  For more details on this event and the road to Hypespotting, check out the  Versus-Scotland forums  for more details.”
