KOF
'96 tournament drew to a close with
an incident that occurred right after
the tournament's end. The incident
itself and the subsequent accident
it caused were officially reported
as the result of terrorist activity
by an unknown group, but the details
concerning the identity, motives, and
subsequent whereabouts of the terrorists
remained a mystery.
In spite of this incident, however, the
KOF '96 tournament was an overwhelming
commercial success. A few months after,
the event triggered a fighting craze
and various large corporations, expressing
interest in the fad, offered to sponsor
subsequent tournaments, leading to a
demand for an eagerly awaited KOF '97.
The fad reached all over the globe and
in no time KOF '97 came into being.
With the decision to hold the tournament,
fighters began to gather at various venues
for the preliminary matches and approached
the tournament with various motivesˇ¼ˇ¾ˇ¼ˇĄˇ¼ˇ¾ˇ¼ˇ×some
came to test their abilities while others
entered for wealth and fame.
Word of the tournament came through all
forms of the media, and fans from far
and wide gathered to witness the white-hot
preliminary battles. Concomitant to the
preliminary matches, came the construction
of various KOF stadiums throughout the
world. Naturally the anticipation for
the KOF '97 tournament exceeded historical
precedent and it soon became obvious
to everyone that the current tournament,
as with the previous one, would reach
a remarkable climax.
What team will win the tournament that
the eyes of the whole world will look
on and wear the KOF crown of victory?
And does an incident similar to the unexpected
accident of last year's tournament threaten
to mar the festivities? All of the world's
attention is focused on this year's tournament.
KOF '97 is here! |
