This year’s L.A. Comic Con is bringing three big names from the FGC for some tournament action.

Revealed today, Justin Wong, Punk, and Alex Jebailey will appear at the convention to battle attendees in Street Fighter 6 and the newly released Mortal Kombat 1. The finals will be held on Sunday, December 3 at the West Hall.

Chris DeMoulin, CEO/GM of Los Angeles Comic Con parent company CEI said this about the forthcoming tournaments, which are done in partnership with League Spot:

“We always solicit fan feedback on the show and our gaming stage was a major highlight at last year’s show. Now, we’re adding a new interactive dynamic to our show’s gaming element by bringing in the likes of these FGC masters to play against the fans and we couldn’t be more excited to have the fans duel against these top-level players.

Our League of Legends eSports tournament drew big crowds last year, but this year we wanted to take it up a notch by giving attendees a chance to showcase their skills on the big stage against the best in the world. This show will further solidify L.A. Comic Con as one of the biggest gaming events of the year by giving gaming fans an experience that brings them off the sidelines and into the spotlight for a shared celebration of the games we love.”

L.A. Comic Con will take place from December 1 through December 3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Tickets for the convention are on sale to the general public right now here. Our coverage of last year’s event, which drew over 126,000 attendees, can be seen here.
