Are you ready for the hottest news of the year?

After about 60 national Cyphers and six Regional Finals throughout 2013, the final Red Bull BC One contenders will meet on the stage of the World Final in Seoul, Korea on November 30th, for the most competitive, outrageous battle yet. To celebrate ten amazing years of world-class B-Boying, we're inviting back all previous eight winners of the Red Bull BC One. Yes! That's what's up!

As you remember, the very first competition took place in 2004 in Biel, Switzerland crowning USA’s Omar champion. He will be joined this year by some of the best B-Boys in the world, all of whom have proven their merit on the infamous stage, including two-time winner Lilou, and the reigning champion Mounir. This year will mark the first time the best B-Boys in the world from Red Bull BC One history will go head-to-head to win the ultimate B-Boy title. 

Now is the time to watch the battles from all the previous World Finals again, so you can make up your mind as to who you think will take the title this year. Are you ready?

We’re halfway through Cypher season. As you know, the winners of the Cyphers will move on to the six Regional Finals, from which the six winners will go on to compete against the past World Champions in Seoul. Unlike in previous years, there will be only two wildcard positions open. 

A panel of experts travel the world to watch the most important B-Boy battles, ensuring that the two best B-Boys of the year will receive those spots. They are judged according to their overall skills, choreography, innovation and character. The Regional Finals and World Final will be streamed live on redbullbcone.com.

• LATAM, Columbia, August 4th
• North America, USA, August 17th
• MEA, Egypt, August 31st
