Today on AmalgameTV, Frieda announced that KVO 2013 x GODSGARDEN x a-cho (KGA 2013), the follow-up to last year’s KVO, is now a Road to EVO 2013 International tournament. The top 4 placers in the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 singles tournament will earn seeding towards Evolution 2013. KGA 2013 is currently Japan’s only Road to EVO event.

The UMvC3 singles tournament at KGA 2013 consists of a 32-player bracket. A series of qualifiers throughout Japan, as well as multiple special invitations, will determine who will make up those 32 spots. The qualifier period for KGA 2013 began last week with FINALROUNDBATS and the GAMING-PARTY qualifier. Three players have already earn a spot at KGA 2013, with many more to be decided over the next few months.

KGA 2013 will be held April 27-28 at the game center neo amusement space a-cho in Kyoto, Japan. In addition to the UMvC3 singles tournament, there will also be a special UMvC3 5on5 after-event, both held on the first day of the tournament. The second day will be devoted to a Arcana Heart 3 LOVE MAX!!!!! 3on3 tournament.
