Weds Night Fights 2015 Tournament Season
After 3 successful online edition seasons, we have showcased new talents in Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Killer Instinct communities. The online platform is an integral part of community growth which helps in discovering new strategies, match ups, and new regions. We want to say thank you to all that have participated in the Online Edition of WNF and hope everyone keeps practicing for the next major event! Are we done with WNF Online? We are taking a break from the WNF online platform and planning new opportunities for 2016. Stay tuned!
Moving forward, we are excited to formally announce Weds Night Fights returning to the live experience this Fall Season at eSports Arena! We have been working extremely hard in parallel to our Online, Prelude, and SCR events to plan the next chapter for WNF and it’s finally coming this October 21! Let’s get to it!
We are taking Weds Night Fights back to it’s roots by only focusing on Wednesday as the main night to host fighting game competition. Not only that, we are inviting the ENTIRE fighting game community and favorite titles to the event. Any era of fighting games from the 90′s to modern titles, we will have space for any game the community wishes support. The action doesn’t stop there. We are also introducing an inclusive community building program which will help achieve your goals in growing your scene, promoting your brand, and streaming opportunities.
Bring Your Own Console (BYOC)
One of the core features of Weds Night Fights is having dedicated BYOC sections throughout eSports Arena. We feel having a BYOC at all times increases the amount of play time for tournament players and to introduce new players to the scene. We have 2 levels of BYOC space throughout the venue so first come, first serve to set up shop with your favorite titles! (Please Note: We have limited supplies of consoles since many are used for WNF tournaments.)
Community Building at WNF
Many community members join events and eventually are interested in starting a scene on their own. Finding affordable venue space with adequate power, internet, tables, and chairs however can be extremely overwhelming for anybody including us! (SCR venue hunting!). We understand the hardships and want to offer you an opportunity to grow the scene the right way. We want to work with passionate members of the community to be ambassadors of your favorite titles. If you are interested in community building, we will provide you/your organization a road map on how to promote, run tournaments, acquire set ups, and stream on your own channel at WNF! Your event will be promoted throughout our social mediums every week and your stream channel will be part of our Level Up Team Member’s page on Twitch! All YouTube replays from your archives will also remain on your channel! If you are interested, please send us an email at

We will have Main and Community driven events running concurrently at WNF. What’s the difference between Main and Community driven events? Main events are tournaments we are hosting with our current affiliates which will have sponsored prizing at the end of the Season. Community events are BYOC and start up community building effort tournaments. Community driven tournaments can have the standard buy in or $1 dollar tournaments, high roller, or even free to enter.
