Beat Saber Tournament Looks To Become World’s Largest VR Arcade Event
To finally determine who’s top dog in this world of neon sword-dancing, the Virtual Athletics League has teamed up with SpringboardVR and LIV to host the International Beat Saber Tournament, a global competition open to the public taking place at participating VR arcades August 17th.
The 1-day competition features two formats in which participants can compete. The easiest event format available, Rolling High Score allows the public to compete throughout the enitirety of the day. The venue manages an ongoing scoreboard, keeping track of the highest scores for final submission at the end of the day. Competitors in this format are required to play the tracks “$100 Bills” and “Escape” on expert difficulty with “no fail mode” engaged.
Dedicated Events, on the other hand, require participating arcades to commit their entire venue to the Beat Saber competition for at least two full hours. Players are free to perform any track they’d like on expert mode up until the finals, where the remaining two competitors will duke it out over “$100 Bills” and “Escape.”
