| Super Street Fighter II Turbo, now in its 19th year of competition, returns to the tournament circuit for 2013! |
| Last year, The TOURNAMENT OF LEGENDS created unprecedented success and attention for the venerable arcade fighter that birthed competitive fighting games. World Warriors from around the globe attended major after major, culminating in a Saturday night, EVO-stage showdown between two of Japan’s top Grand Masters, watched by over 28,000 viewers on the main EVO stream. |
| Riding this new wave of popularity, for the 2013 season, the ST Revival Committee brings you: “THE ST GAMES”. An Olympic-style competition to be played out at majors across the country and ultimately at EVO 2013 in July at the Paris in Las Vegas, NV! |
| THE ST GAMES at EVO will be comprised of four tournaments: |
| Event #1: RATIO TOURNAMENT: Spend your points carefully to create the perfect team from the entire ST cast. |
| Event #2: 3 VS 3 TEAM TOURNAMENT: The quintessential, classic ST team event! |
| Event #3: CHARACTER LOCK TOURNAMENT: Choose your one true World Warrior, through thick and thin, in good times and in bad, in 9-1 matchups and 2-8’s! |
| Event #4: THE GRAND FINALE: Win 3/5 matches to advance, double elimination, no holds barred (although Akuma is)! |
| Each ST GAMES tournament awards ST GAMES points for the top 8 finishers as follows: |
| 1st Place | 10 points |
| 2nd Place | 7 points |
| 3rd Place | 5 points |
| 4th Place | 3 points |
| 5th Place | 2 points |
| 7th Place | 1 point |
| And prior to EVO, players will be able to earn ST GAMES points at the following tournaments: |
| So Cal Regionals | January 19 | Irvine, CA |
| Winter Brawl | February 23 – 24 | Philadelphia, PA |
| Texas Showdown | April 13 | Houston, TX |

| Each tournament awards ST GAMES points for the top 8 finishers as follows: |
| 1st Place | 5 points |
| 2nd Place | 4 points |
| 3rd Place | 3 points |
| 4th Place | 2 points |
| 5th – 8th Place | 1 point |
| IMPORTANT NOTE: | Players will be able to earn a maximum of 5 points prior to EVO. |
| If a player who has already earned 5 points places at a future tournament, those points will not be awarded. (Example: Player A wins 1st place and 5 points at Tournament A. Player A then goes on to win 1st place at Tournament B. Player A will not be awarded any points and those five points will not be awarded. The 2nd place finisher will be awarded 4 points as normal.) |
| The player with the highest overall ST GAMES point total becomes THE EVO 2013 ST GAMES CHAMPION! |
