This is how the event is going to work, the format, the prizes, and which players are already confirmed to be taking part.

DH SD Guilty Gear Format

DreamHack San Diego is a wide-ranging event with everything from Brawlhalla to Fortnite having tournaments. Guilty Gear isn’t quite the highest-level event for fighting games here but between the talent coming and the prize it’s on the higher end. This is a great early tournament after last season concludes with the Arc World Tour and a chance for players to mark out the start of 2023’s big events with a strong performance.

The DH San Diego Guilty Gear tournament will be played over two days, starting off April 8th and moving through April 9th. The format will be familiar to a lot of fans, it starts with pools before we head through to a double-elimination bracket. It’s a well-honed format.
