Set To Destroy Signs Their First Pokkén Tournament Player in Allister “ALLISTER” Singh

Founded in 2010, Set To Destroy is Canada’s oldest esports organization. It’s also one of the world’s most eclectic, sponsoring players from a lengthy list of different games. STDx has decided to add Pokkén Tournament to that list by picking up Pokkén Arena Mod and high-level Suicune Player Allister “ALLISTER” Singh. Noting his commitment and community experience, Allister will make his major tournament debut with his new STDx prefix at Final Round 20 in Atlanta, Georgia. STDx has even slated him to appear at KVO x TSB 2017 in Osaka, Japan in May, making him the only official American player announced thus far to attend.
