The fan vote for the participating players of the upcoming East vs West Japan 23on23 just finished yesterday, so Takuya has tweeted the (almost) complete teams.  I’ve translated the teams below:

Sol	Roi	012
Ky	Rozu	Machaboo
May	Kedako	LARK
Eddie	Kaeru-kun	Isa

Robo	Dogura	GAKU
A.B.A	Tsubu	Keba

Yes, I wrote almost complete teams, because as you can see, West Japan does not have a Potemkin!  I’ll update this post again when they decide on a Pot player.

I already wrote about Arc Revo Cup finals happening this weekend, but remember that Mikado is also holding a special 5on5 along with the aforementioned East vs Japan 25on25!  It will be happening on the exact same day that the last chance qualifiers are being held, the 18th.  Jonio has already posted the stream link, which is set to go live on 13:30, which is around 9:30PM PST Friday.  So the Mikado events will be happening almost simultaneously with the last chance qualifiers.  It’s gonna be a really cool weekend for GG, so don’t miss it!

It is now one week until the Arc Revolution Cup finals are taking place, so the official site has made a number of updates. They have posted the complete brackets for all three games. Hitconfirm has a translation of the first round matches to be played in each block. Additionally, Shinjin has done an English translation of the GG bracket, and Jourdal and Kurushii have done a translation for the BBCP bracket. Note that the 2 last chance qualified players will be playing against FAB and Kabegiwa no DC respectively.

Much to my surprise, the event will also be streamed for free on both Nico and Twitch! The last chance qualifiers for all games will be happening on the 18th at 12:30 Japan time on the Godsgarden Twitch channel. This is around Friday 8:30 PST. The finals are taking place on the 19th, and will be streamed on the Arc Fes twitch channel starting at around 12PM Japan time.

Now that the Arc Revolution Cup qualifiers are over, the date of the finals is set to be May 19th. Recently, Jonio has been planning a couple of special Mikado GG events to take place on the day before Arc Revo finals, the 18th. So far, there is going to be a 3on3, 5on5, and most importantly an East vs West Japan 25on25! The players of each team will be decided by an online fan vote, which closes on May 15th!

There have been more Arc Revo Cup qualifier videos released since my last post, so you can see them after the break!

The main qualifiers for the Arc Revolution Cup just finished this weekend, so here’s the list of qualified players on the Guilty Gear side in a much more readable format! I used the Japanese Fighting Game Players wiki as a source since the official Arc Revo site is still not up to date. I should also note that if you do the math, you’ll see that every game only has 62 qualified players. So I’m assuming that there will be two sets of last chance qualifiers to round out a full 64 man bracket.
