KVOxGODSGARDEN is a sub-event of KVO 2012 and is, as the name suggests, a collaborative event with GODSGARDEN. To be held at the Maid Café CCOcha, the event is a 8-player semi-invitational with 1 player selected by invite, 4 players by a fan vote, and 3 players by a single-elimination qualifier right before the main tournament. The winner of KVOxGODS earns a GODSGARDEN-sponsored trip to EVO 2012 as well as EVO seeding points.

World Broadcasting Heroes - Episode 1
During their time in Japan, Haunts, fubarduck and Bluerei will be filming World Broadcast Heroes:
In a joint-effort between IPLAYWINNER, Aesonica and ArcadeUFO, we are throwing a show together called “World Broadcasting Heroes” Your look into the Fighting Game Community from the motherland of fighting games - Japan. Hosted by Haunts, Fubarduck and Bluerei, we give all of you a look inside the Japanese fighting game culture and also act as a loose travel guide for those of you looking to visit Tokyo or Osaka.
...
We'll be recording and uploading the World Broadcasting Heroes video series on a (mostly) daily basis as we travel around Japan. We will be stopping at various arcades, restaurants and bars in Tokyo and Osaka, and of course broadcasting “KVO The Ultimate Battle” in Osaka. Expect in-depth interviews with various players and prominent members of the community, not to mention our thoughts on various aspects of this trip!
