Willing Foe

The QLD SFV scene has its clear top 3, and they all showed up again this month to rack up vital BAM Path To EVO points. Still a ways off the leading numbers, we’ll see whether one of them can pick up an injection of points at December’s majors.

Smash Ultimate
1. GG|Ignis
2. Kanga|Jdizzle
3. ATH|DD
A tough month for Jdizzle and DD as they were both trying to snag a few extra BAM Path to EVO points for what is currently a tight race for top spot. In the end, Ignis denied both of them to bring home a win for the GACHA GANG! Jdizzle is still clear on top of the standings though, and also took away high honours in the Victorian scene’s awards ceremony.
The new game brought in a new MVP for VIC Smash as @Jdizzle_203 found himself on top of all others for 2019! Congratulations! pic.twitter.com/yHc4ZLZ63L

Christian “ORDER|ROF” Dedalija was the first of several defending ranbat champions from October to go back-to-back this month. ROF did take a detour through the Losers side of the bracket after an upset from Taylor “syo” Waugh, but bounced back to avenge the loss and then win two close Grand Final sets.
Tekken 7
Chipzeeh

AFriendlyTree
A big result for the Tekken points race this month, as Alex “Chipzeeh” Smith improved on last month’s second place finish to take the field down. In doing so, he leapfrogs almost the entire state of Queensland in the standings to reach the top 8!

Christian “ORDER|ROF” Dedalija may have barely a quarter of the BAM Path to EVO points that Xavier “DS|Somniac” Nardella can boast, but he was on a mission to change that this weekend. ROF blitzed the field and bopped Somniac twice along the way, sending a clear message to his VIC rival.

Another huge weekend has marked the 11th annual Battle Arena Melbourne! BAM11 saw Australia’s biggest fighting game event step into its second decade, and third year at the Melbourne Convention Centre. The CouchWarriors team, a group of community volunteer organisers is incredibly proud of the event blown away by the response of the community.
Among other achievements, BAM11 had 1,020 unique fighting game competitors! Add to that nearly 500 spectators, PC LAN and Splatoon 2 competitors, and our total attendance by footfall was 4,412! This is by far the biggest open entry esports competition in Australia and New Zealand. Thank you all for another record breaking year!
Of course, the real story of BAM11 every year is the incredible feats in each tournament. With 42 events over 3 days, there were multiple national championships and hundreds of stories of small rivalries to legendary finals including many with international superstars.
We saw the first Mortal Kombat 11 major, the biggest tournament ever for Smash Ultimate and global points on the line in Tekken World Tour and Capcom Pro Tour. In fact, tournament attendances rose across the board. All this, and we crowned ANZ champions in the BAM PATH TO EVO finals for SFV, Tekken and Smash Ultimate, meaning three players are going to EVO World Championships with flight and accom expenses paid.
Ever get so emotional in a match you felt like powering up? Hype is the sign of a great fighting game, and few games can get players on their feet – and screaming – like Dragon Ball FighterZ.
2018 was a huge year for the game culminating in the Dragon Ball FighterZ Saga event at CouchWarriors Crossup. Before the World Finals at the end of January, lets take a look at what the game is all about, then learn about the top players, and how to get into the local scene.
