What is it?

The NEO GEO World Tour is a global tournament where the winners of each region will win a flight to Hong Kong for a final tournament! There are in fact TWO seasons (at least), which means two chances to win a flight to Hong Kong; the first stop of season 2 is already confirmed for Gamescom Germany!  There is also prize money to win!
