Long Overdue Update, Future

Hello everyone,

I know this year has been a rough one. With COVID-19 spreading across the US since February, in-person events pretty much halted. We all agree that events being cancelled was the right move to limit the spread of the virus, even though many more measures should have been placed by the federal government to make normalcy somewhat a possibility. Unfortunately that didn’t happen and the current administration and legislative bodies didn’t do enough to help the people nor limit the spread of the virus.

With that all being said, all members of the team are doing as well as they can be. Some have competed on some events online, myself included, while others are taking a break. We hope to be able to see people at events sometime in the future. However, we don’t want it to be rushed and we want everyone to be safe out there. Gaming isn’t worth dying over or harming your friends or loved ones. Please be responsible when doing anything in-person during this time.

With that being said, I do have one announcement. I will be helping stream/produce an event coming up in February 2021. Here is a link to the event: https://smash.gg/tournament/the-ultimate-warrior-3v3-tekken-team-battle-midwest-edition The event is a 3v3 team battle in Tekken 7. It should be a good time. Make sure to also check out GrandKai at https://twitter.com/GrandKaiGaming1

Thank you for anyone that read through this post. It was a little bit of rambling but we will have some more actual updates once things start back up.

Sincerely,

hojo
