Though the 2017 Tekken World Tour finished up a few short weeks ago, this past weekend saw the return of Japan’s largest Tekken tournament with the 9th iteration of the Mastercup. This “5 on 5 Team Battle Grand Prix” saw over 190 teams — comprised of nearly 1,000 or more players — converge on the Tokyo Big Sight TFT Hall in order to determine which Team could lay claim to being the Kings of Iron Fist in Tekken 7. With the likes of 2017 TWT Champion Qudans, Evo 2015 Champion Yamasa|Nobi, ROX|Knee, COOASGAMES|Noroma, ITS|Channel, Yamasa|Take and Yuu, KuroKuro, LowHigh, HelpMe, CO|Tanukana, GetNews|Pekos, and many more in attendance, this would undoubtedly be an event for the ages.
