Battle of BC 8

Battle of BC 8 is a weekend-long celebration of competitive gaming. The annual event will bring together the world's top fighting game competitors for a weekend of intense competition across the biggest games in the scene. It will also feature more beginner-friendly brackets and attractions for gaming enthusiasts, families, and local visitors alike. Gamers can also connect with new friends to participate in more casual matchmaking or free play, and watch the live tournament finals on Sunday.

Battle of BC brings Canadian fighting game fans together for the weekend to compete, connect, and celebrate the games and community they love while exploring one of the country's most beautiful cities. Hosted at the Vancouver Convention Center, festival attendees will be able to step outside and experience the city. Due to its location, Battle of BC is one of the few fighting game conventions that also makes for an ideal vacation destination for international attendees. Additionally, BOBC has moved from its usual Spring schedule into the packed Summer fighting game tour alongside the most prestigious fighting game tournaments such as Evo and CEO. With so many of the biggest Summer fighting game events taking place in the United States, Battle of BC is now the must-attend Summer tournament for Canadian and international gamers.
