Last year 700 players from 40+ states and a half-dozen countries, along with hundreds of thousands of viewers, watched Daigo rescue Team World from defeat with an unforgettable flourish (10:45) at Team US’s hands in a 5-on-5 extravaganza.
Justin Wong achieved Redemption against his Evo 2010 nemesis, Gamerbee -- but in the end Gamerbee in turn Redeemed himself and won the 412-player SSFIV tournament.
This October, together with media and promotions by Team Spooky, Cross Counter, and SB/Evo motion graphics artist Seth Mussey, Season’s Beatings: Velocity bids a final farewell to our roots as we merge OG with the New Age of Hype.
