New Kotaku/Deadspin esports collabo Compete, in partnership with Gillette, is hosting the first-ever Compete Showdown on May 13. Attendees will get to test their skills against a Street Fighter V pro player, and you’re invited — if, that is, you have a great tale of precision to share with us.
Becoming a better gamer is about precision improvements. Overclocked, inspired by Gillette, helps you level up your esports game via precision in practice, on-screen and IRL.
Entering is easy. Just email contests@thefmg.com (or hit us up at @StudioAtGizmodo, tagging @Gillette and hashtagging #CompeteContest) with a story/image/video/interpretative dance about the most challenging precision video-game move you ever mastered, from old-school tricks (like the 99 lives glitch in Super Mario Bros.) to new-school techniques (like optimizing “white health” attacks in SFV).
Studio@Gizmodo will pick the best story to win a trip for two to NYC and the Compete Showdown at Gizmodo Media HQ. (Extra consideration will be given to especially creative and/or Street Fighter-related entries). GLHF!
