Pokkén Tournament Player Tevin “Teejay” Stokes Signed by Noble Esports

Noble Esports has grabbed itself a wild Pokkén player! It was just announced that Sceptile main Tevin”Teejay” Stokes has been added to their expanding FGC roster.

Given his representation on Team USA, and his strong performances at Evo, CEO, Momocon, and more, the acquisition was probably inevitable. The signing occurs just in time for Teejay to advertise Noble at Pokkén Tournament’s World Championship in September.

He is the first Pokkén player to join this esports team, which includes players specializing in Killer Instinct, Super Smash Bros., and Mortal Kombat.
