The situation: Since the list of games for SBO’10 has not yet been announced, nor have we gotten any information about if Europe is getting any of the qualifiers, but do know that if all this falls in place we are going to do everything we can to yet again host the European-qualifiers for the game we all love, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core. As usual, no pad-players allowed and you have to be able to pay for all the expenses with your own money, planetickets, hotels, etc. etc. and be willing to go to Japan for 100%. Still, we don´t know that much about SBO’10 yet so you can stay calm, for now!

All the money goes too prizemoney, where the winner of a tournament takes 2/3, second place gets 1/3 and 3rd place gets his/hers 20 SEK back.

TBA Later in January, but most likely Guilty Gear-tournaments will start on Saturday, Blazblue on Sunday. And most likely, a bigteam-battle on Friday night.
