Our new friend Ricardo from Bracket Blitz Gaming is putting together an NBA 2K14 tournament this weekend at Northgate Mall. Be sure to mark October 19th at 10:00am on your calendar.

The tournament is a double elimination format and will be run on both PS3 and XBOX360. Prizes include trophies, t-shirts and copies of the NBA 2K14. There may be additional prizes as well.

Check out more details on the event on our own forums here, or on the official Bracket Blitz page. Be sure to also follow Bracket Blitz on Twitter (@BracketBlitz) and check out the NBA 2K14 Tournament Facebook page too.

Yesterday was Chip Damage’s first all air-dash fighter event. The Anime Grand Prix hosted tournaments for five different games: Arcana Heart 3, BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend, Skull Girls, Persona 4 Arena and Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R for a total of 13 players. Admittedly, this wasn’t the biggest turnout we’ve seen for our events but it didn’t stop our competitors and spectators from having a great time. We fully intend to hold more air-dash themed tournaments in the future so there’s plenty of room for this great event to grow. Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting our first Anime Grand Prix!

Thanks to everyone for coming out this weekend. A lot of people put in a lot of hard work to make TST8 the best Chip Damage summer tournament yet. One last thing we want to ask from our participants and spectators is to take some time to complete this survey. It will only take 10 minutes of your time and would be incredibly helpful for us to learn what you love (and hate) about our events.

Again, if you want to participate in this survey, please do so as soon as possible. Please also feel free to pass our survey along to your friends who have also attended last weekend’s TST8.

One more survey link for good measure.

We’re happy to present TST8. Hope to see you all at the Smartpark Event Centre on August 24th and 25th. Please visit our forums discussion on the upcoming event. Keep checking back at our TST8 page for announcements and changes. Start training and get ready for our biggest tournament of the year!
