LA RIOTS II is an invitation Street Fighter IV Tournament in which you have to win other specific tournaments to make it into the 8 player rotation. This was the second LA RIOTS tournament and was bigger and better then the first. The top four players from LA Riots I included Combofiend, Keno, Kai and Shizza who went up against the top four players from the last Bar Fights tournament which included Alex Valle, Ken I, Jayce The Ace and Yeb.
Once again the tournament was an 8 player double elimination, streamed live with multiple cameras, player profiles, professional commentary and player interviews. LA RIOTS II is shaping up to be a major force in the Street Fighter IV playground and ties into other competitions through cross promotions and player involvement. The grand finals came down to an exciting match between experienced pro Alex Valle (Ryu) and upcoming star Shizza (Chun-Li) with Alex taking home the grand prize of $500 cash, a trophy and the top three players walked home with brand new Arcade Sticks from MadCatz!
Once again the tournament was sponsored by GOOTECKS, COIN-OP TV LIVE, EVO ENERGY DRINK, MADCATZ and THESTREAM.TV. Highlights and video from the event will be available soon but in the meantime check out this promo video from LA RIOTS I highlights!
