Crunchyroll to hold BLUELOCK soccer tournament in Dallas this Saturday
After a successful BLUELOCK soccer tournament in Los Angeles last month, anime streaming platform Crunchyroll has officially announced details on the Dallas tournament.
Revealed today, the Dallas tournament will take place this Saturday (April 8) at Crossbar in Richardson, Texas from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Much like the Los Angeles tournament, the 3 v 3 tournament will have numerous games going down during 90 minutes of gameplay. Each game will have King of the Court rules; 10 3v3 games will go down at once with each game having 4-minute intervals with 1-minute breaks on all fields. After 90 minutes, the top four teams will battle each other in the semi-finals before the top two teams go head-to-head in the finals.
This tournament will also see the appearance of several members of the English voice cast of BLUELOCK. The full list of cast members showing up can be seen below. Register to take part of the tournament here.
A synopsis for BLUELOCK reads:
Japan’s desire for World Cup glory leads the Japanese Football Association to launch a new rigorous training program to find the national team’s next striker. Three hundred high school players are pitted against each other for the position, but only one will come out on top. Who among them will be the striker to usher in a new era of Japanese soccer?
BLUELOCK can be viewed on Crunchyroll right now here.
