Fighting esports competition can be quite intense, especially on the top level, such as qualifiers for the SNK World Championship. It’s a good idea for players to get their tournament experience with smaller online events — to get prepared emotionally and to test their current abilities. Competitions on the PlayStation Tournaments platform may be quite helpful for this. Everyone can attend, and it’s unlikely you will face a super-skilled esports celebrity.
The King of Fighters XV offers such an opportunity till January 2, 2024. All you need is a PS5 console (and sure, being located in an eligible region). The rewards are unique avatars.
