Registration will be open from now until the closing date of Saturday, 30th April, (at 4.00pm BST/5.00pm CEST).

The tournament is only open to PlayStation Plus members but there is still enough time to set up with the service and register for the tournament before the deadline. PlayStation gamers can join the service for a little more than £3 on the PlayStation Store to not only enjoy the benefit of taking part in the tourney, but the various other benefits that members recieve each month, including free PS4 game demos and downloads.

For existing PS Plus members, perhaps the remaining time left after registration can be spent selecting the character you will use and sharpening your fighting skills. Practise makes perfect!
