Red Bull Kumite revealed that they will be holding their next official tournament in Las Vegas featuring three fighting games. The event will be taking place from November 13th-14th at Caesars Palace as top contenders will be playing Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, Tekken 7, and Guilty Gear -Strive- for prize money and bragging rights. It will be one of the few national tournaments to come through Las Vegas since the pandemic, as up until now most of the casinos and arenas have been holding localized esports events. For those looking to attend, you will need to follow CDC guidelines as well as whatever requirements the organizers are setting up to participate. We have the complete details of how you can register to take part below.
