Breakout Academy

Class Is In Session

A focused competition lane for rising fighting game players ready to test their progress against peers and grow into the weekly Breakout Series.

Class Is In Session

Welcome To The Breakout Academy

The Breakout Academy is a Bi-Weekly LADDER Bracket tournament designed for lower rank/level competitors giving them an opportunity to compete among peers of their skill level.

With this in mind, if you do take first place during three (3) academy-level tournaments, there is a one-month probation period before you will be allowed to compete in it again to encourage you as a player to continue growing and improving.

The BREAKOUT Series weekly tournaments are unlimited entry and we encourage you to compete as often as you like and look forward to your growth as a player.

Ladder Format

Compete in a structured academy bracket built around player growth.

Peer Competition

Face players closer to your current skill level while building confidence.

Three academy wins signal it is time to keep leveling up in the larger scene.
