Earlier today, Sp00ky of Team Sp00ky hosted a stream with IFC YipeS of BROKENTIER, Larry “ShinBlanka” Dixon, organizer of FINAL ROUND, and John “SweetJohnnyCage” Gallagher, co-organizer of East Coast Throwdown, to discuss some of the details for the upcoming FINAL ROUND 16. One subject that came up in the discussion was CURLEH MUSTACHE BATTLE ROYAL, which was briefly teased in the second FR16 trailer.

CURLEH MUSTACHE BATTLE ROYAL is an Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 regional 5v5 tournament, a collaboration of IFC YipeS’ Curleh Mustache invitational series, Team SP00ky and FINAL ROUND. The tournament is capped at 16 teams, each approved by YipeS, and will be played out in standard winner-stays-on team format. With a double-elimination bracket, this special tournament seeks to prove just which region is the strongest.

Larry also mentioned there will be be a regional 5v5 at FR16 for Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

FINAL ROUND 16 is set for March 29-31 in Atlanta, Georgia. Only 16 days remain to prepay for FINAL ROUND 16, though online registration remains available until March 15. To register online, check the FR website at www.finalround.org.
