Another Queen City Showdown wrapped up last weekend and nearly every event was won by a newcomer.
After winning back-to-back Queen City Showdowns, Vult was absent and unable to defend his streak. Wildz, in his first trip to Hazard, earned first place without losing a set.
Rasmus shined on the fighting game side of things and took the Appalachian Fighting Game Championship belt home to Bardstown. Rasmus took first in Tekken and second in Strive.
Newcomers for Smash included, Wildz (1st), Soup? (2nd), EensterPeenster (4th), BluSkies (9th), and YoshiTales1 (13th), Twilight (13th) and Pittuwu (13th).

After the success of the last Queen City Showdown’s inclusion of fighting games, the trend continued with Guilty Gear -Strive- and two new additions: Tekken 7 and Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid.
As mentioned earlier, a lot of newcomers showed out at QCS: Homecoming. Ninjas came and took first place in Strive, taking down Farko, Glight and Rasmus along the way.
Newcomers to Strive included Ninjas (1st), Rasmus (2nd), Misery (9th) and Toasty (13th).

We capped off the night with our first-ever Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid bracket.
