Adhithya Mahesh’s Sundays have been packed over the last six weeks. This senior member of the Indian Fighting Game Community (IFGC), has recently begun organising tournaments for two games — Street Fighter 6 and Smash Bros — at gaming cafe LXG League of Extraordinary Gamers, in Nungambakkam. Very quickly, a community of gamers including exchange students from across the world, has been forged.
As the weekend approaches, there is a need to coordinate with the players who have registered. A live stream needs to be set up and consoles including the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch need to be functional.
How else will their 40-member group sit down to spar through the evening?
