Addicted 2 Gamez held multiple tournaments over the weekend featuring 3 top games and an old favorite. Featuring a wide array of players, from local warriors, to casual tournament goers, to a world-class fighting game competitor, and even a local child prodigy, all tournaments live up to the hype.
12 year old A.K. wowed the A2G crowd with his astonishing play, not to mention his insane poise for a 12 year old. He beat Dax in Grand Finals after the latter led the round robin phase with a 13-3 record as opposed to A.K.'s 11-5.
In KoF2002, the support for a game more or less 10 years old is amazing, managing to have 14 players. In the end, it was Jonas who outlasted everyone en route to winning the King og Fighters 2002 tournament, beating Reden in Grand Finals.
In AE and Marvel, Complexity's Ryan "Filipino Champ" Ramirez showed why he's one of the top players in the FGC today, claiming both Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition v2012 and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 tournaments, but had to deal with a few struggles along the way.
In the very first round of AE, Zamby seemed to have his number, logging in 3 dominating rounds. But like a mark of a true champion, FChamp kept his composure, and proceeded to slow Zamby's offense down and eventually beating him and moving onto the next round and eventually to Grand Finals in winner's side, where he faced Andrew "Dru" Martinez. Dru managed to reset the bracket, but just fell short, losing to FChamp in the deciding set.
In Marvel, FChamp went through Alex Kim, Matthew "MG" Gaw, Charles "Cha" Leyson and then beat "Papable" Peter Chua to once again go to Grand Finals in winner's where he faced the guy he beat in winner's finals Peter. The finals set was insanely close, with Peter leading most of the way, but like the champ that he is, FChamp found a way to win 2 straight, thus beating Peter for good and claiming the UMvC3 title, going 2 for 2 on the entire tourney.

JackBacoor takes home his 2nd Friday Night Fights tournament in a row, beating Rodel "Megamoves" Murillo. Jack's methodical Dhalsim play proved too much for Megamoves' Sagat, who interestingly enough, didn't switch to his pocket Rufus to counter Dhalsim.
With the victory Jack earned the pot money as well as the PinoyVersus shirt, which PVS promised to include if the number of participants reaches 12. The total number was 13.
