While streaming an Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 lab session, Empire Arcadia’s IFC Yipes made a very special announcement regarding the next installment of his Curleh Mustache tournament series. Curleh Mustache Battle Royal 2 will take place at Northeast Championships XIV this December.

This 5-on-5 team tournament will feature some great talent from all across the country, but as of now the only confirmed group is Team New York (AGE|NYChrisG, CTRL|RayRay, UVG|Noel Brown, TA|Moons), who won the first Battle Royal event. The fifth spot, which was originally occupied by Yipes himself, will be decided in a four-way round-robin between CTRL|Flux, CTRL|Alukard, BIFU|Winrich, and BIFU|Insaynne, though that has the possibility of expanding should he want more players to get involved.

Yipes also mentioned that Evil Geniuses’ Justin Wong and Filipino Champ of compLexity Gaming are planning to create separate Southern and Northern California teams as of now, but may join forces should that fall through.

More details will be coming soon, but for now feel free to speculate which teams we’ll see at NEC XIV later this year to compete in what is sure to be another fantastic event.
