“The energy, expertise, and great grassroots gaming knowledge of New Game Plus, along with the wonderful culture of the show and the passionate people behind it, matches our own and makes for an excellent team up for CouchWarriors”, said Daniel Chlebowczyk, CouchWarriors Committee President
CouchWarriors will continue to run an inclusive community event welcoming to new players, and first class tournaments that attracts top competitors from all over Australia. This partnership enhances the mission to further support the whole community by contributing to local, regional and interstate events with resources and assistance. Upcoming initiatives will look to fulfil these goals, as will the ongoing mission to produce special and major events.
“Working with Couchwarriors will allow us to call on the experience and passion of their tight knit fighting game community, which means a better experience for fans, competitors and viewers at home, and puts us in a great position to spark some new life into the local scene”, said Jason O’Callaghan, Executive Producer of New Game Plus.
Look forward to exciting announcements on special events such as a “Barfights” exhibition night, ranking battles and qualifiers, and more information on BAM closer to the event. The partnership is also tailored to work with other groups to assist with the implementation of a wide range of events, from game launches to LAN events, and is open to sponsorship discussions.
