Red Bull Conquest: Chicago
Chicago’s top fighting game players battled it out on Saturday at the first Red Bull Conquest qualifier. The top local players in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, TEKKEN 7 and Guilty Gear Xrd REV2 were crowned at Chicago’s Ignite Gaming Lounge and will be representing the region at the Red Bull Conquest finals in Washington D.C. this November.
Fan-favorite Marcus “THE COOL KID93” Redmond rose to the top from the pool of Street Fighter players and dominated the field with his signature Abigail play, while Marcus “Shadow_20z” Jordan fearlessly led the pack and emerged victorious against his competitors in TEKKEN 7. The third champion, Duncan “Mr. K” Tonningsen, will be representing Chicago as the Guilty Gear Xrd REV2 winner. While some of these valiant fighters may hail from cities beyond Chicago, the three will now advance to rep the city under a unified banner as they aim to claim victory as the nation’s best fighters at the finals in D.C. later this fall.
