Marvelous AQL, Autumn Games and Lab Zero Games will be holding an online tournament for the PC version of their critically-acclaimed 2D fighting game, Skullgirls.
The top 20 tournament winners will receive prizes with a combined worth of over $2000, to be announced at a later date.
To obtain a Steam code for the beta, one must pre-order the game or get a code from a participating media partner.

Codes distributed by media partners are restricted-use codes, but will offer full access to the game’s multiplayer modes until the game’s official release on August 22nd. Beta codes received from Lab Zero Games’ wildly successful Indiegogo campaign or pre-orders will never expire, letting players test new changes and characters before their official release.
Once a player has access to the beta, to enter the tournament players simply need to register at the following URL:
