The World Game Cup's goal is to bring together the best fighting game players in the world for 5 days of intense competition.
It is held in the world renowned Palais des Festivals in Cannes, during the "Festival International des Jeux" (The International Games Festival).
This international event will feature solo tournaments, team tournaments, and exhibition matches.
As it is also intended to be a public event, all the tournaments will be open - for free - to the festival's general audience.

Fight Your Way Up in MANY Tournaments:
BlazBlue, Capcom vs SNK 2, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +, Hokuto no Ken, The King Of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match, The King Of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match, The King Of Fighters XI, The King Of Fighters XII, Soulcalibur IV, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6

See our website for more details: http://www.worldgamecup.com

Our players will mostly be competing in the Street Fighter IV Solo & 2v2 category's but we also have players who will be fighting in Street Fighter III : Third Strike and Blazblue. Competition at the tournment will be extremely high with some of the best players from Europe, America and even Japan coming to fight, including the famous Diago "The Beast" Umehara (Jpn) and Justin Wong (US).

Despite the tough competition we have some very high level fighters heading over so we should be able to cause some trouble for even these well established international players, with what is (to our knowledge) the first significant Irish presence at an international fighting game tournament. Here are our fighters;

• Blag (M Bison)
• Coblecog (Cammy)
• Chopperbyrne (Honda / El Furete)
• Chunkis (Ryu / Sagat)
• Doctor Doom (Guile)
• Dreddy (Zangief)

• Jimeatsmenu (Cammy)
• Liquidsword (Fei Long)
• New Type (Ryu)
• Orim (Chun Li)
