It all came down to Philadelphia and Phoenix this weekend as the Red Bull Conquest circuit hosted its final two qualifiers on Saturday, October 13. It was a day filled with numerous twists and turns as top fighting game players showed up in full force for a shot to be crowned Philadelphia and Phoenix Red Bull Conquest Champions in fighting games Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, TEKKEN 7 and Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2.
In Philadelphia, Princess Slim emerged victorious in the Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition bracket, while Victim_of_Ritual beat out tough competition in TEKKEN 7 and MarlinPie in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2. In Arizona, despite severe flooding conditions across the state this weekend, a devoted following still made their way to the Phoenix qualifiers on Saturday. Professional UYU athlete P. Ling claimed the top spot in the TEKKEN 7 bracket, while Arizona’s own Thrasher won in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. In Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, dejixal managed to put up a fight against some elite competition and was the top player in the bracket.
