We are proud to announce the first 3 events we will be working with in 2012. Whether you were at one of the many Focus Fire affiliated events in 2011 or not, you are not gonna want to miss what we have in store for you this year. We’ve teamed up with some of the nations best tournament promoters, who all plan on taking their event to the next level this year by offering players the highest quality equipment to play on! Another unique thing we will be doing this year is switching console formats from PS3 to Xbox 360 in the fighting game scene. But don’t worry all of you PS3 lovers, we will have expensive high end converters that will allow you to use your PS3 controllers on Xbox 360 consoles!

Sadly 2011 has come and gone, but what an exciting year it was. FF was at 9 official events, and plenty of smaller, non-recorded one’s. The furthest events we traveled to were EVO in Las Vegas, Devastation in Phoenix and Seasons Beatings in Columbus. Recently many gamers have been asking us what our plan is for 2012; well, we have been working really hard creating a schedule. Although information is not yet ready to be announced, in the coming weeks we will be releasing information on our first few events of the year. Be sure to stay tuned!
