Meet the Legends

Wyatt Earp & Doc Holliday: The Wild West legends are here to bring swift justice with a quick hand.

FAQ
Will Stars and Stripes be legal for the Unmatched Asia Championships? No. This is a relatively new set, and we want to give the community enough time to learn the new fighters and master the meta before they hit the big competitive stage.
Look, I know we have to address the elephant in the room. Between the global tensions and the ongoing oil crisis, a lot of us are feeling pretty frustrated with the current state of things.
