We Built a Fighting Game Venue in Seoul (Core-A Studios) 

This place is going to be on my Top "Go-to" list if I would ever travel to South Korea in the future

As a 15 year old living in Puerto Rico I'm weeping rn I wish I could go to the studios and support you guys

"A PC with more cables than competitive MvC 2" S Tier Joke.

I’m relaxed by the sight of new Core A videos

Now I know where to go if I ever travel to Korea But real talk: that place looks beautiful. If a place like that was near me, I'd be there all day, everyday.

"Hey siri how much does it cost to move to Korea?"

As a TO with a a dream of having my own venue someday, thank you so much for making this video Gerald.

6-secondRU-vid ads: *SKIP* Core-A Gaming ad: watched till the end

I just want to say thank you for continually showing Melee gear, art, and content throughout all of your videos. I don't know how most of the FGC takes it but it really means a lot to our community and it really warms my heart every time I see it.

4 minutes ago and there already a lot of comments here... people really love Core A Gaming(yes i love you too)

If i was playing SNK heroines, I too would feel the need to use a vpn.

Time to fly to Seoul.

Ah yes Sailor Moon S, Greatest fighting game of all time

Love that art piece with all the Korean fighting game characters on it

My friend you are unbelieveable, it's an honor and a pleasure to even hear about this place being built, let alone the opportunity to go there. Love you dud!

THE BEGINNING MADE ME REMEMBER THE OLD VIDEO TO FIND SOME OLD FIGHTING GAME TEMPLES

"[This room] has more cables than the competitive MvC2 scene." *raises hand* I understood that.

This is legitimately inspiring knowing how you started to where you ended. I’ve been watching since the start of this channel and had no idea this would ever be the end result. Couldn’t be happier for you man, can’t wait to drop by one day

I wish I was still stationed in Korea! I'd absolutely love to visit.

Damn I wish I could go to this.

I think this is the channel i come back to the most to rewatch vids. Keep up the amazing work and i cant wait to go to Seoul to try out the Core A fighting cafe

Looking forward to the day I play again in Core-A Studio!!!

Makes me miss my local arcade. I still remember the mall it was in, now it's a pile of dirt. :(

Honestly this is the kind of thing that makes me proud to be a part of the FGC. I hope it takes off like a rocket 🚀

I do plan on visiting Seoul sometime (planned on 2021, probably 2022 at this point 😞); when I do I'll hopefully be able to visit your venue and show love in person for sure. ♥

Whenever travel restrictions will allow it, this is most def gonna be a place-to-go on my list. Tip: The cafe wall mentioned on 1:55 can be put in display cabinets to reduce collection of dust, its going to be really annoying to dust every single item on there and place it back

I would literally enjoy a video of you just talking about paint. You're awesome.

Thanks Gerald for all you do and keep up the good work. I live in Tokyo and I've been hoping to travel to South Korea after all the COVID dust settles. I hope to visit your venue when that time comes

Best of luck with the new business venture G! Cant wait to go to Seoul and hit up your Temple!

God bless y'all, hope your venue survives and thrives for years to come!

I wish you all the best with your Fighting Games Venue dude. As far as I can see everything looks amazing.

Always great to see people's efforts to spread the passion in an area. I had just recently caught wind of a small fighting game scene that was being formed where I live and I've since tried to contribute in the ways I can, whether that be hauling my games and consoles and game copies to meetings or what have you. It's only a very small thing at this stage. For the time being, we effectively just operate out of a youth center and only have the 3 hours before closing time given to us. Corona is a bitch though, so even that little was put the kibosh on for until the end of the year, but I am genuinely excited and willing to help make this a thing. For the one month I was a part of this, we managed to set up a casual Tekken 7 tournament and actually got a 10-man tourney going. It might not be a big event, but it was an awesome night with so much electricity in the air. It was an evening magical enough to want it to thrive, although how much I can actually do by myself is still limited to helping with providing games and consoles.

Congrats man! Love your secret streams!

I have loved your videos from close to the beginning. I am so happy your dream to have your own fighting game locale came true and I wish you all of the best. From Kansas City, MO. with love and appreciation for all you do for the FGC.

Bro even your ads are well made and easy to watch. Love your videos.

Inspirational stuff! EDIT: just realized you made the song at the end too. that's rad!

That is so awesome. Congratulations and great work!

I used to be over in Korea, and I got a chance to go to the Studio right before the pandemic really hit for a Smash Ultimate tournament, and it was a blast. Beautiful place you all. Sadly, I'm back in the U.S. so I can't go back there, but I really wish I could. Best of luck guys!

Your venue looks dope man. Looking forward to your streams from that place.

Man. I’m like sad but excited I really wanna go to your guys venue. I’ve always wanted to travel and feel at home with a community no matter where you’re from. So this is my year that I’ll visit you guys.

This is amazing. I have a similar vision and hope to fulfill it in the future here in Brazil, hope you guys have a great time! So much love for what you guys are doing

Hoping to much success to you and this business. Looks awesome

Looks amazing! Super professional. I need somewhere like that close by.

you guys did a fantastic job with the build out! hope I get to stop by one day!

That's a really cool place! Congrats on getting it made!

The venue looks awesome, super cool what y'all are doing out there.

This is simply amazing, congrats on all the work y'all have done.

This is amazing work. Well done

Congratulations on the new studio it looks amazing! I can't wait to visit when I get back to Korea

Would love to see more of the place

So happy for this project and you. I really wish I could go from France !

Your venue is so beautiful, I can see the hardwork everyone put in!

Seeing Core A Gaming become bigger and able to make great content during these times has really cheered me up, added this venue to my bucket list

Would love to visit this place someday. Been a fan of your content for a long time Core-A!

Wow man, I gotta visit this if I ever stop by in Korea. That was so much consideration to the experience of the players, a lot of my experience of going to FGC gatherings here in SoCal haven't been too pleasant.

Even though I'll never get to experience this, especially in a place close to home, it's really cool that y'all have been able to make something like this. I love all your contributions to the fighting game community.

All the BEST man I really hope it succeeds!

It looks amazing! Just followed the Twitch channel and Twitter!

Dang, that place looks epic. My local venue, or what was my local venue before COVID happened, had bathrooms that simultaneously looked like a meetup place for drug dealers and the kind of place where people die in horror movies. Honestly, drug dealers probably did meet up there from time to time, and I'm sure at least one person has died in there at some point in time.

Thats awesome man. I'm planning on learning korean next year, so hopefully I can visit the venue sooner than later

Congratulations! Opening a place like this is such a great achievement, great job! The future for fighting games looks so bright.

I recently moved to korea, that too Seoul! Definitely gonna check out!!!

"more cables than MvC2" is a great line.

This channel is what got me into fighting games and I'll support you forever!

I LOVE the ITX computer set ups :) I thought that was a real nice addition as someone who runs an itx pc myself. For sure will be a place I visit if I head over to Korea to meet family.

Glad to see you guys making it!

Awesome!!! You guys deserve all of the inevitable success that you will have in your new venue!

Looks great! More power to your new place Core-A :)

This is so awesome! This place will be bump'in after the Pandemic. Wishing you the best!

Congrats! I know Gerald has been talking about this for a long time! Long time fan of the channel, good stuff!

Love the TTT2 customization music, fits really well!

Omg this is awesome! Hope you can bring something like this one day to the states Core-A!

I hope everything goes well in this endeavor! I actually aspire to also open something similar to this in the future.

Consider getting out to Core-A Studios on my bucket list. Keep up the awesome work my dudes!

I have been looking for that intro song for a while. Thank you.

I don't understand who would dislike this video, there is nothing but positive vibes coming from this video

I love going to Core-A! You never know who you'll bump into when you're there!

I would love to do the same here. Looks clean af. Good job Gerald and all the members of Core-A.

I might be able to check this place next year and I’m genuinely excited saying that out loud

Really awesome venue great work guys

Congratulations on opening the studio. :)

Bro you started off with one of the best soundtracks in Tekken history automatic like

I'm young right now but building a game venue like this is a goal I'm keeping my eyes on for now and this was a really insightful video thanks👌

If I am ever in South Korea I'm most certainly calling in. I'm sure it's stressful atm with Covid but the future is looking better and to make a living doing something that you love well that's everyone's dream. Good luck Gerald!

Amazing!!! Keep up the hard work!

This kinda stuff is so awesome man, warms my heart

This is become my main reason now for wanting to visit Korea, awesome setup.

As always, Core A Gaming does top tier content. Love from Mexico.

Oml I can’t believe this is a thing now congrats!

I will be coming there next summer. Very excited!

Incredible video as always

dude, always needed a reason to go to Seoul, thanks for giving one.

This made me really happy, I’m not even good at fighting games but I watch these videos to get a better grasp, real martial arts are easier for me lmao. But the fact y’all got the bread is dope and I’ma have to get to Korea now

I hope to visit this place one day. Looks like the perfect venue for me.

wow i had no idea you were an evo champ. congrats

2020 is sucha great year wit how often Core-A Gaming is uploading :D

OH YEAAHHH!! I just started playing fighting games and also got my first stick! I went to uni in Shinchon and live a 30 min bus trip away! I am definitely going as soon as covid restrictions are down!

I wish I had a place like this near me, you are doing such good for South Korea man, I am so glad you're doing this. I swear I hope it gets so successful you can sell franchises to other FGC nerds like me, I would totally buy one(once I am a millionaire)

Gah, I hope I can visit someday. Good work Gerald and team, it looks amazing and I hope you continue to have success!
