If the upcoming Evolution tournament wasn’t enough, this Saturday is going to serve up a clash of competitive fighting game greats at the Twin Galaxies Fight Club. Notable players across games such as Dragon Ball FighterZ, Super Smash Bros. Melee and Tekken 7, will take the stage at the Luxor Esports Arena Las Vegas to compete.

Separating itself from the Evolution Championship Series, the competition is bringing Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes and Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds back to the spotlight as a main stage brawl.
The fight card of the upcoming eSports event boasts the likes of longtime community figures such as Alex Valle and Michael “YipeS” Mendoza, as well as several prior Evo champs such as Justin Wong, Christopher “NYChrisG” Gonzalez, and Lee “Infiltration” Seon-woo, just to name a few.

The roster alone is priming the first of the Twin Galaxies Fight Club to be a veritable pro bowl of fighting game competition. Many of the players are highly decorated with tournament wins, including over 30 combined Evo first-place finishes.
Tickets are currently sold out, but folks can still watch all the action starting at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 4, at the Twin Galaxies Twitch channel.
