The successor to WGC, IVGC has been announced. And what a shocker!!!!

  • USF4
  • KOF13

  • GGXRD on PS4

  • NO MARVEL

  • NO THIRD STRIKE

  • NO SUPER TURBO

  • TWO SMASH TOURNAMENTS

Is this the future of the FGC?

Ha, to be honest I actually thought Fifa might take over, so this is fine!

I’m trying to imagine all those CRTs going to Cannes though….

And woah gonna need a PS4 stick!!!

Here’s the official announcement in French then English:

More info as it happens, but the real question is:

WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE INVITED TO FRANCE???  Who should they bring? WONG? CHRIS G? DAIGO? WOO?

Which games do YOU want to see there? I know there are other organisations that can run side tournaments, if there is demand!

What, no Blazblue/ Uniel/ Persona/ DOA!!?!?!?!
