After a long hot summer hiatus, UGTL is back with its seventh event coming to Echo Park's Rec Center Studio Saturday November 20th. To mark our return, we decided to do a little extra this time around. In addition to our Super Street Fighter IV tourney, we'll be running a Tatsunoko vs. Capcom tourney as well! More details soon, just thought the world should know what's comin.

So until then, we'll be dropping more and more info here and on our twitter and facebook accounts, so make sure to follow/fan us! Also, we've got a post going over at SRK if you'd like to join the conversation. 

See yall in November

Also, J has been kind enough to throw us a sneak peek of the next flyer design, check it out!

Where have we been? More like where have we NOT been. UGTL 6 at the Rec Center was a blast, Devastation in Phoenix was a blast, and we're just a few days away from Evo in Vegas.

Now I know, everyone's been asking, "when's the next UGTL main event?" Here's a clue: September. For the time being, cool your jets and check out this video coverage of UGTL 6. Also, make sure to check out our new and improved Buzz section. If you've created or come across any sort of UGTL coverage- be it written article, photo gallery, or video, please let us know! We may link to it from our site for the world to see!

...and our homies over at AngryBananas.com in conjunction with Retrodojo.com did a dope piece on UGTL 6 too!

Man, have we got some surprises for you...

 UGTL 6 still seems so far away, but get hyped because when the doors open at 2pm on April 24th you can expect to be blown away! Since we've moved to a new location, we're making sure that even though you'll be packed butts-to-nuts in the Rec Center, there will be plenty to keep you entertained. Get there early for Happy Hour from 2-5pm, and keep yourself liquored up when the 3v3 SF4 tourney begins around 530pm. Our Resident DJs will be pumpin' out jams for your listening pleasure, and in the mean time you can check out the debut of the Pixel Drip gallery which will include selected pieces and talented artists doin' live art.

Not entering the tourney? Angry Bananas will be back again to host the Casual Gaming Lounge so you can jump on many 2 to 4 player games while we mash through the tournament. You can also check out Meat Bun and snag some fresh gear. They're so awesome they've put their stamp on UGTL as sponsors, which means we must be awesome as well! We hope that you stick around for a special performance by 8 Bit Weapon and ComputeHer later on in the night... so let the fist pumping commence! And don't think we've ditched the $1 tacos just because we got a little fancy; they'll be there... waiting for you. Deliciousness.

Could we possibly pack more fun and excitement into UGTL6? Maybe. Possibly. You wouldn't even know until it punched you in the face. So while you're waiting for that to happen, check out the Events section for more info and links. You can also join the crowd on our Facebook page, because... everyone is doing it.

Recently announced on Twitter:

If you can come up with a name for our event, currently titled "UGTL 6", you will receive free entry on April 24th. Of couse, we have to actually like the name of the event, so think of something good!

Well... contest has ended! And the winner? We don't know. In fact, with the all the suggestions that have been submitted (some hilarious, others pretty damn good) we're still scratching our heads. Maybe we'll be lame and leave it untitled. Or maybe we'll surprise you on April 24th with free entry. OR MAYBE... we'll just continue to scratch our heads. Anything is possible. Thanks for participating!

Really? Thanks. The word is out! UGTL is gettin' fancied up and moving to a new spot called the Rec Center in Echo Park... but not too fancy, trust. You'll still get your beer, $1 tacos, and massive amounts of gaming.

So far we know that UGTL 6 is gonna be a 3v3 tourney, so team up with your homies and get your practice on! We are also in the works to debut our first art gallery led by JSalvador where local artists gather up and put their most awesomest creations on display. Word is that there will even be a special live set performance by [shhh... it's a secret]! Stay posted for more updates and leaks as UGTL 6 fast approaches on April 24th.

This is def not your regular gaming tournament. It's the sickness.

Machinima got some sweet vids of UGTL5... thanks guys! What else can we possibly say? Check it.

Drop by Machinima.com for original videos and awesome gaming news. Its the shizz.

People have been talking about the UGTL. We can feel it.  We also know that it takes a lot of hard work, open ears and minds, and generosity to make it to where we are today. So let's be honest; any news is good news, but really good news is even awesome-er.

After UGTL was published in the LA Times, all those closed doors just exploded wide open!... sort of. Gootecks said it right: "Not quite sure when the last time competitive Street Fighter was written about on the LA Times (which means I don’t think it ever has)".Word, Gootecks. We were throwin' confetti for days. That led to an little shout out from Coin-Op TV (@ 14:40)! Lets cross our fingers for a little face-time in the future. Even after UGTL5, we received so many positive reviews from Angry Bananas, Box Arena, Allisfighter, and more! Thanks everyone! Stay tuned for updates about our next event :)
