While the news is exciting, Bandai Namco's Twitter was flooded with players concerned about unstable network connections and lag. Many said that the tournament wouldn't be fair with that in mind.
With EVO 2019 coming at the beginning of August, many are expecting Bandai Namco to announce more DLC and other post launch support for Dragon Ball FighterZ. They've made similar announcements at other tournaments in the past, so keep your eyes peeled when EVO hits next week.
