Battle of BC is Canada’s premier fighting game event, started by students at the University of British Columbia in 2016. Over the past decade, it’s grown to a global scale, welcoming over 2000 attendees from 20 countries each year to the Vancouver Convention Centre. Regardless of your experience with gaming, the electrifying atmosphere and tons of programming make it a fun time for all. For its 10-year anniversary, Battle of BC is bringing the fighting game spirit to the Vancouver underground for a one-of-a-kind Sunday afterparty at Good Co. Granville, complete with live music and DJ sets set to high-level Smash Bros. exhibition sets and audience participation matches. With a mixed bill of high-energy Vancouver talent playing an eclectic range of club-ready video game music including jungle, techno, and jazz fusion as local and international top esports talent duke it out on the big screen, expect nothing but an explosive celebration of community and video game music. Battle of BC 8 takes place June 5-7. We encourage you to spectate the finals, and then head over to Good Co. to party with the champions together!
