Joining the prestigious ranks of Namco Funscape, Las Vegas Soho and The Four Quarters ; VEGA London (as it is known) is located in the basement of a building known from the outside as VEGAS. It represents the building’s video game arcade section (the ground level floor is populated with gambling machines, in a similar setup to the Las Vegas arcade in Soho). VEGA London is a miniature arcade, yes, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for with in-demand arcade titles. Combine this with being situated in one of the most achingly cool neighborhoods in Central London (Angel, Islington) and you begin to appreciate what a formidable little pocket rocket this awesome little venue is".
Player2's regular eSports wrap up looks at two very different Street Fighter tourney's from opposite sides of the globe.
Sherry is cool and all, she's been part of this for a very long time but the truth is that she's not sponsored because of her skills but because she's a girl. Because there are plenty of people that are way better than her yet they have not even a single sponsor. =/
edit: And holy crap, look at their comment section. Like half the users have either been banned or the comments deleted. lol
But it was obvious that many were going to flip out since in how many tournaments have she competed this year? In like 1 maybe 2 at most?
How on Earth does news like this make it onto n4g let alone approved? Some minor player gets sponsored because of her gender.. move along, nothing more to see here. She'll never break into the top 32 of a major.
I don't know who she is and have never heard her name before. Is she actually good at games or is she promoted simply because she is a woman?
who is she? what is FGC? what is Gamester Gear...and why the hell should we care??? i thought news was supposed to be relevant to...well anything. ppl saying its cause she is a attractive girl....no im sorry she isnt.
This is a case of being affiliated with actual top players and being mildy attractive. If you ever watch any FGC major stream, you are guaranteed to see Sherry hanging out with the people that make top 8. But does she get close to making top 8? Of course not... She isn't very good.
