KOF GCC Dubai - A Middle Eastern Smash Major Feat. Yoloswagmaster, XF0, Snack, Scorpion, and More!

KOF GCC Dubai is looking to be one of the greatest fighting game tournaments ever to take place in the Middle East and alongside games like Ultra Street Fighter IV, King Of Fighters XII, and Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN Smash for Wii U has earned the honor of being at the event! While the ruleset for the event if fairly regular by North American standards, Miis will be available under a special ruleset. "Mii Fighters are legal, with their full move sets available as per the Evolution 2015 move list. All Miis are to be set to default size only." With such an amazing event some of the best in the Middle East will be there to compete, so let's meet the big threats!

Yoloswagmaster :4falcon: - Yoloswagmaster is so much more than a man who wants to impress the crowd with stylish maneuvers and combos. This Falcon from Qatar displays strong fundamentals impressive technical prowess. Winner of the last major tournament in Doha, H.E.A.T., his Falcon is one to stay on the lookout for. His Dark Pit is no slouch as well.

Polly :4kirby: - Also one of Qatar’s elite players. Previously went by JS2D and played an extremely close set with Yoloswagmaster in the Grand Finals of HEAT, Polly isn’t shy from top 3 finishes at tournaments in the region. He shows great understanding of his character at a high level and will be sure to win the crowd’s cheers with his great skill of an under-appreciated character.

Snack :4megaman:/:4charizard: - Snack is arguably the UAE’s strongest player. His reads and fundamentals are on another level in the region as proven by trumping over some of Doha’s strongest players including Yoloswagmaster, Kenji earlier this month in a tournament on their home turf. With many of the region’s strongest players absent, Snack is a likely favorite to win the tournament.

NeoTempus :4villager:/:4myfriends:/:4metaknight: - Originally from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, NeoTempus is one of the most consistent and earliest players of the UAE scene. Currently facing a character crisis concerning his mains, he’s still one of the best players in his region. NeoTempus is a player to keep your eyes on this tournament for sure.

M. Pacson :4pacman: - Previously went by Abdul, tied at 9th place at Doha’s HEAT and suffered from out of state jitters, losing to Qatari Falcon main Kenji and Bahraini Ness main Mubrik. M. Pacson is determined to play at his best, represent Saudi and redeem himself from his previous performance. His Pacman shenanigans will surely surprise you.

Prof. Molokhia :4luigi: - What characterizes Molokhia more so than other Luigi mains in the region in his efficiency in maximizing damage off of every punish situation and his ability to cover options and adapt. Molokhia comes from Jeddah, KSA, considered to be one of the strongest regions in the Middle East. This will be his first out of state tournament, it’ll be interesting to see how he performs outside of his home turf.

XF0 :4lucario: - One of Kuwait’s premier players who’s been on the come up, sporting an impressive 5th place finish at GAME EVO in Dubai. XF0’s style can be best described as a river, it has a certain sense of tranquility to it, but one mistake and he’ll wash you away with a hefty punish. His Lucario is not to be slept on.

Scorpion :4yoshi: - The most impressive feat that this Kuwaiti Yoshi has accomplished is a 2-0 victory against Demna, one of the strongest players in the region players, one of those games being a 2 stock. Scorpion has the ability to keep cool under pressure in games and his ability to turn around and adapt well.
