While the venue was still waiting to be set back when the BlazBlue Revolution US qualifiers were first announced, it seems Aksys Games has found a location to host the event. Southern California’s famous Super Arcade will be handling the festivities on February 25th, with a special stream provided by Level|Up. BlazBlue Revolution is Japan’s largest invitational, where a multitude of three man teams will duke it out to take home the gold. But here in the States, only one team will be chosen to travel to Japan and compete. So if you think your team is the best North America has to offer, enter this tournament! The winners will be provided full airfare and hotel accommodations by Aksys Games, and will even receive an extra monetary prize if they’re able to take first place in Japan. All the information you’ll need for the event is detailed below.
