General Info
Rautanyrkki 7 fighting game tournament
December 1-3, in Helsinki area, Finland
Free entry to foreign players
Sleeping at the venue is possible
Rautanyrkki (Iron Fist in English) is the largest fighting game event in Finland. It's held twice a year and the events last one weekend, Friday-Sunday. RN6 on April gathered 100 people with one quarter of the players from abroad. The presence of Swedes and Norwegians resulted a very exciting Nordic rivalry aspect the tournaments and created an unbelieveble atmosphere. I'm hoping to see more of that at RN7 too!

__________________________________________
My special invitation goes to all the people who attended Rautanyrkki 6 a few months ago - Wallace, Robbie3s, Rising Uppercut, Dead Alchemist etc - and people who I met at Versus in Sweden, namely NiloPilo and JINsama. Also, EagleJin, hopefully this time you'll make it here too. Sweden is going to have a strong presentation at RN7 and all Finnish players truly hope that Norwegians will be able to come too.

. Saw your post on the swede Vf site. Thought I'd check it out. I've been a bit slow on the fighting games events lately. Even spillegal isn't one of the priorities anymore
