The TGA ranking battles are back after a long hiatus (due to SBO qualifiers, Bowlmanifest, and things just taking longer to get out to the middle of nowhere), and while Zar continues his dominance the field seems to be wide open beyond that, waiting for someone to step it up and establish themselves.

- At the end of Beech St., take a right onto 5 Summer Dr. and you'll see our beloved Tokyo Game Action.
Sadly, they took the video equipment out of MB:AC and stuck it in CvS2. Who the hell plays CvS2?
Hopefully someone will bring a camcorder and record on their own.
