DEVASTATION is back again for its fifth year and we are bigger and better than ever! To celebrate this fifth anniversary we are blowing the roof off for our players and posting guaranteed pots for tournament games. We have $10,000.00 in Guaranteed Prizes up for grabs!

We would like to thank these Supporters for their contributions to the prize pots:

In addition to the HUGE payouts we are proud to partner with the Big Boys & Their Toys Expo to cover our expo area this year. Registered players will have access to over 160,000 square feet of expo space adjoining the DEVASTATION event floor.

All registered players will receive a free DEVASTATION shirt, custom badge and lanyards, raffle ticket and more; you even get to choose the custom badge online! Click "Add to Cart" on one of the games in the registration section and you will see the badges available this year.

A portion of all proceeds, including the raffle and other fundraisers will go towards Off Campus Jams, a not-for-profit organization that maintains foster home communities and programs for children under eighteen.

Yes, I know that there is no Melty Blood tourney listed... but we have not failed to have a side-tourney, run by Choco, every year...

Someone was to post this a while ago for us, sorry about the "late" notice...

[Arlieth Tralare]

I know you guys are always good for supporting side-tourneys. Lemme sticky.

[Spidey]

Ugh I wish I was good at SF4 =/, lol I might tag along with the GG people anyways

[jedirobb]

If anyone wants to set up/organize some side tourneys let us know, we definitely have the space...

Hey Spidey... you do not have to be good at SFIV.... just better than the guy you are playing against 

[Tempered]

Yeah, Choco will more than likely be running a MB side tourny, and A local around here has his own BB cab and is planning to run a BB side tourny. Hope to see you all there.
