Warriors! Bursa continues!
Bursa is fighting games, drinking and passing out at 6am, just to wake up few hours later because your pool starts. Bursa is also a Polish fighting game community-ran rally. We meet for a weekend, rent the venue, bring consoles and play. No sponsors, no prize money - we fight for honor, we put pride on the line.
When, where and what
Bursa XIX, as all previous, will be held at a school dormitory in Włocławek, Poland. This time we're running it during EVO (July 15-18). We start around 18:00 on friday and finish at 6:00 on monday. We play mostly on PS3s and PS4s, little to none X360s. None of the tournaments will include pot money. Bursa itself does have an entry fee, varying around 5-10 euros, depending on how many players attend (this is only so that we can cover the venue costs). Staying at the venue for the night is advised - you can rent a bedroom for about 7 euros per night. There are several cheap shops nearby and a 24h restaurant, as well as snack-selling vending machines inside the venue. Alcohol beverages inside the venue are allowed.
Little background
Bursa started as a GG players rally and later converted to a general 2D fighting games meetup. It is our main event dedicated to 2D fighting games, and as such happens twice a year. Since it started as a rally, the tournaments where held for fun and not for hardcore competition, but as Bursa became one of the only consistently run each year tournaments, the tourney results became a merit of who’s the best at 2D fighters.
The meeting keeps growing every year - we had international guests, tournaments organized by other communities, some pretty genuine hype and even live streaming. But at it’s heart, Bursa stayed the same happy event, where you can show up to your tournament completely wasted and no one will judge you for it (it is not advised though).
Tournaments
Of course in this edition the main focus will be watching EVO, but on the off-hours we might organize tournaments in whichever games anyone feels like TOing for. As long as you want to take on the responsibility, you can set up a tournament or exhibition match of your own. Just keep in mind that consoles we play on are consoles brought by community members, so they don’t all have every fighting game installed and most of them don’t have DLCs.
Travel
Włocławek isn’t the biggest of cities, so once you get there, the rest should be easy. For getting to the city I recommend trains and PolskiBus. After you arrive, get to the taxi station just in front of train station and tell the driver to get you to “Boorsa mehanicoof”, it shouldn’t cost more than 5 euros. If anyone actually wants to come to Bursa and worries he might get lost while travelling, post here or PM me and I’ll try to get some pictures, tips and more precise description of how to get there.
