Hello Warriors, due to scheduling issues and certain key people within the committee unable to make this Sunday’s date, we are moving the date of the AGM to the 14th of October. The venue and the time will remain the same and the post has been updated accordingly.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused for you, this will be the final set day and we hope to see you there.
UPDATE: The venue has since been changed to reflect the new venue. The new location for the meeting will be held in Activity Room 1 at the Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre. Please refer to the AGM update posted listed here.
The upcoming GFINITY Elite Series will feature a large selection of Street Fighter V players from the community. With BAM10 as the major fighting game event in the calendar year just finished, it’s a great opportunity to look at how these players finished up. How will this latest ranking of the top SFV players in the country play out when the teams face off at Elite Series in the coming weeks? Their placement at BAM10 will be a good gauge!
The Chiefs main Squad
At the moment, it looks like Chiefs are in the box seat, with the only two Australian players to make top 8 against fierce local and international competition both in that team. In fact, Somniac, as top placer via tiebreak with Bksama, won a trip to Vegas as our EVO representative.
This year at BAM10, there’s more than ever for you to do, even if you only enter the event with a Spectator pass! It’s only $20 for the whole weekend available online or at the door. While only Competitor Passes can play in our hosted tournaments and casual areas, here is the list of fantastic activity on offer at BAM10.
