Update: This story has been updated with final results.
The age of major events taking place all over the world on a near weekly basis is once again upon us, and it’s time for the Dominican Republic to give the fighting game community a show that only they can provide.
Blink Respawn 2022 is going down this weekend to bring together many of the best players across North, Central and South America to compete including PG|Punk, FURY|Fatality, GOT|DR Ray, Bandits|MenaRD, Bandits|Caba, Larry Lurr, Bandits|Sonic, LD|Ling, RR|Mono, Crossover, LuiMan20, and plenty more.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is drawing the biggest crowd with 220 players signed up, which isn’t too surprising considering Blink Respawn is a Gold Event for The Smash World Tour 2022.
There’s no shortage of fighting game action beyond Smash either with Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition on PC, Guilty Gear Strive on PC, Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate, Dragon Ball FighterZ, The King of Fighters 15 and MultiVersus all running main brackets at the event.
Call of Duty: Mordern Warfare 2, League of Legends and Rocket League tournaments are also present for those wanting to look beyond just the FGC offerings.
Streaming for Blink Respawn is being handled by BlinkEsportsRD and BlinkEsportsRD2 on Twitch.
