No world team cup for BlazBlue? :[

If you feel like you can help muster enough international players to warrant a nice turnout for a WTC of BBCSE, please feel free to use my good ol' spam list, I'm sure the European and American BB communities would love to see some Japanese players pop for the WGC.
We had 32 players in solo and 2x16 in teams last year. I'm gonna spam like crazy to get more players (I'm still posting in Europe right now, I've got like 50+ more forums to go...), but I sure could use the help ^^.

I fratelli bogardi aspettano

How do I vote for Arcana Heart 3?

No arcades or Guilty Gear this year?
I'm passing

same here, no KoF XI this year? (3rd place in 2010 ps2 tourney)

..

ahah don't care, I'm joking and I'm really happy to came this year too. Playing SFIVAEv2012 and KoF XIII for sure (or console version? 1.1 arcade? what else xD), if the poll goes well, Garou too.

I really like the Cannes tournament and organization i think it's the best in Europe.

@ BKDennis: The vote for the seventh game will take place in October.

@ Mazinkaiser: It's Console KOF13 (version 1.2).

PS: Yeah me, I finally found the box to tick to get email alerts!

saranno presenti jappo????

Yes, there will be Japanese players next year ^^.
In fact, the arguments about the exact number is the main reason of the delay of the second announcement, so don't fret & wait for the big surprise!

Grazie mille!!!!!

Topic updated!

No trailer yet, but our friends & partners at eLive.pro just recorded a LIVE show about the KOF tourneys available at the WGC 2012, a wee thing promising the largest cash-prize pot EVER for a KOF tournament & a lot of (yet undisclosed, but heavily hinted) guest players: ENJOY!
