To round out our lineup, here is our final game announcement for #BAM13!

DreamHack Melbourne has come and gone – and with it, the last ever Street Fighter V LAN for CouchWarriors League. Coming up in just a few weeks is Battle Arena Melbourne, where the new age of Street Fighter 6 will kick off in style!

Of course, #BAM13 is bigger than any one game, even if SF6 is getting a lot of hype.
