The fourth Happenstance FGC league is underway! There are three live streams per week: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 9:30 pm Central Time. Be sure to tune into Happenstance FGC’s Facebook pge where all the action goes down here https://www.facebook.com/Chano20XX.

The league format is round robin play where all players play one another. Matches are contested first to 5. At the end of round robin play, the Top 8 tournament will be broadcast to determine the champion.

The King of Fighters series is famous for employing a novel approach to fighting games by using the Team Battle System of 3-on-3 team based matches instead of the usual Player 1 v Player 2 format with the usual three rounds. In King of Fighters each player chooses a team of three different characters, instead of a single character. The player chooses which order the three chosen characters fight. When one character is defeated, the next member of that team enters the match and the winning character is rewarded by receiving a small portion of their health meter restored (assuming it was not a perfect round for the winning character). The dynamics of gameplay result in interesting matchups and the possibility of exciting comeback rally victories! 

Match Results for the March 4 Stream

NeoChris (5) defeats HN|Uku (2)

The March 4 stream belonged to Neochris once the league match portion of the stream kicked off. In his opening match with Uku, the contest started tight with scores of 2-1 and 3-2 in Neochris’ favor before taking the last two matches in securing the 5-2 victory.

Neochris (5) defeats Rolandub (4)

But it was Neochris’ second match that stole the show. Rolandub got off to a seemingly insurmountable 4-0 lead. Undeterred, Neochris calmly worked his way back into the contest round by round. He completed the incredible comeback to take the 5-4 victory!

Congratulations to Neochris for his epic comeback victory!
