EVENTS - Underground Tournament League

...I’ve had the opportunity to speak at length with the Business Director (Daniel Brown) and a UGTL resident artist (J. Salvador), and the excitement surrounding these events is contagious: Gaming, art, music, and community have been together since back in the arcade days. Unfortunately, arcades have practically gone out of business. Kids miss out on that valuable community experience, and they only realize it when they attend events like UGTL tournaments. It’s addicting – they get a rush they don’t get sitting at home, and they meet their competitors and see how they play. Still, UGTL is about more than just competition. The art and music components make everyone feel at home, and even non-players end up having a great time while supporting their community. I’m especially excited about the future of our live art and gallery. It all started with a couple of live artists painting some Street Fighter scenes and characters, and it took off as an attraction of its own. Just another reminder that video games and art go hand in hand...
