Did you see the last TEKKEN article that was talking about a TEKKEN World Tour? We like to do things ass backwards around here and talk about things before we really tell you about said thing. Basically the best players from around the globe will compete until we have a final 7. Those 7 AKA the TEKKEN 7 will compete in the TEKKEN World Finals. The World Finals take place in November of this year in NA.
Things start in the US on June 16-18 at the CEO Fighting Game Championships with stops in Orlando, FL, Dallas, TX, Orange, CA, and more. Players not available to attend live tournaments can compete online. More details on that are supposed to be coming soon.
It isn’t just bragging rights you are competing for, there is $200,000 in prize money up for grabs too. Maybe all those countless hours you spent playing will finally pay off!
For more information on this go to the official site.
