ReWired Fest 2023 is going to be one of the weekend’s biggest fighting game events. This North America tournament will feature impressive events for some of the biggest fighting games in 2023 along with one that’s just about boarding on the “classic” status at this point. It’ll be an event featuring both SF 6 and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. For a dynamic mix of the most engaging platform fighter and the culmination in a long line of 2D fighters.

This event is more than just a Smash tournament though. Being held by VGBootCamp, it’s the first tournament from the organizer since the Smash World Tour got cancelled. What can we expect for their first major return to the world of fighting game esports?

ReWired Fest 2023

ReWired Fest 2023 is going to be a tournament taking place over October 6-7th. In it, we’ll see two major events in offline LANs, taking place in Fayetteville. The main event is likely the Smash Bros tournament, but the Street Fighter 6 event will be a fun chance to see some players competing in a pretty different style of fighter too.

The Smash Bros side of things is an Ultimate tournament, playing on the latest version of the game. This has a $10,000 prize pool at stake and nearly 300 players have signed up to take part. Among these players are some of the top active names. Sparg0 is showing up to the event, fresh off back-to-back coinbox wins. There are also players like Glutonny, Light, MuteAce and more showing up. With such a stacked roster this should make for a fun Ultimate tournament. The big question of ReWired Fest 2023 is if anyone can actually take down Sparg0 at the tournament.

Along with Smash Ultimate, there will also be a ReWired Fest 2023 Street Fighter 6 tournament! This is also being played with pools followed by a double-elimination bracket. The event matches the prize pool too. There are more than 100 players for this seasonal event, with big names like JustaKid and Justin Wong performing at the event.

Across both of these tournaments we’re seeing some of the best SF 6 players and Smashers go head to event. ReWired will definitely be a highlight for fighting game fans over the weekend.
