The summer grind continues to grind all the way into the autumn, with Summer Jam. The french are coming out this week with a big event, ultimate fighting arena. In fact we got event all over the world again this week. Final Fighters China, Show Me Your Moves, and Battery Basement smash events in the US, Dreamolition Derby in Munich, and DreamHack CS:GO in Sweden.




The eSports community suffered a heart breaking incident recently. I hope that steps are taken to avoid such a thing from happening again. Steps are being taken to help support those who were affected, more info in this article.

Summer Jam 12

Smash.gg

Not to be confused with a CD music collection being sold via television commercial for only $19.99, if you act now. Summer Jam 12 is a Tekken World Tour masters event, so we got really heavy hitters showing up, including the best Tekken player in the world, [Rox Dragon] Knee. But as the event is in New Jersey, you can also expect the Atlanta crew to show up. You know what that means? That means Pokchop, which is synonymous with HYPE. Arguably the USA’s best player and hands down, the world’s best King player, Lil Majin will also be attending. This is gonna be crazy.


There’s also going to be a Soul Calibur tournament with a Beta of the game. Calm down, to answer your question: Yes, Kayane is going to be there.

Over in Munich we have the destruction derby of dreams. A decent sized event with over 100 competitors. Given the timezone difference, I’ll probably tune in and watch some Tekken before Summer Jam. If you’re in Europe, then you should too if you have the time.

Jacksonville Tribute

As I mentioned at the beginning, the eSports community suffered a tragic incident recently when a gunmen opened fire at a Madden qualifiers event. Electronic Arts has responded by organizing a donation drive for the victims of the incident and have donated 1 million towards it. There is also going to be a livestream event centered around raising funds to support the victims of the shooting. You can read the full statement below. Once I have all the information I will post it.
