Sega has revealed the dates and qualifiers of the Virtua Fighter Open Championship. The $100,000 grand prize game-specific major will be holding tournaments throughout the rest of the year to crown a champion. The event has 5 separate dates used to determine who will be able to make it to the final tournament. Here are the dates and official majors that will count:
- Combo Breaker 2025 – Chicago – May 23-25
- Virtua Fighter Open Championship Asia Qualifier – Japan – Jul 6
- Evo 2025 – Las Vegas – Aug 1-3
- VSFIGHTING XIII – Aug 15-17
- TFU Thaiger Uppercut 2025 – Nov 28-30
Final Ethernet Showdown
The Online Qualifiers have yet to be announced. According to Virtua Fighter Dot Com, 4 winners will be able to qualify from North America(2), Asia(1), and Europe(1) in two qualifying events each. The online finals will hold a top 8 to determine who will be left.
Maximilan’s TNS Virtua Fighter tournament last month and Frosty Faustings this year have proven that the Virtua Fighter community won’t be sleeping on this one. While Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. has yet to be available on all consoles, practicing on either Ultimate Showdown or Steam’s Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. could come in handy.
The Virtua Fighter Open Championship is supported by Nvidia.
