CEO
2022 Announce Trailer
|
|
|
|
 Following
a successful live event this past December in Orlando, Florida, major
fighting game tournament CEO Fighting Game Championships is headed
back to Daytona on the weekend of June 24-26, 2022 at the
Daytona Beach Ocean Center. The 200,000 square foot venue will host the
event's largest lineup of fighting games to date — with the main titles
revealed in the official announce trailer, below. Registration is now live
on the official site.
In addition to tournaments for 18 games, CEO '22 will host
the return of the 24-hour Jebaileyland arcade, dedicated areas for side
events / casuals, multiple vendors, and the Artist Alley.
Tournament organizer Alex Jebailey had a little fun with the announcement,
promoting an "exclusive NFT" before the CEO '22 trailer
drop... but (thankfully) this has nothing to do with those scammy
non-fungible tokens.
In CEO's case, it literally stands for "Nice Fun Tournament".
The mention of NFTs didn't prevent some folks from jumping the gun and
getting "jebaited" on Twitter.

Fighting games
and pro-wrestling have had a deep-rooted bond since the earliest beginnings of
the genre. We've become accustomed to seeing fighting game characters
paying homage to various WWE icons in their movesets, but we're definitely
not used to hearing the likes of "EVO", "Final Round ATL"
and "Street Fighter" on
Monday Night Raw.
