Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe Announce EU Qualifiers for the Japanese Finals of the King of the Iron Fist Tournament

Not to be at all confusing, Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe have released details on a series of European qualifiers for the King of the Iron Fist Finals, to be held in Japan on December 10th. Unlike the US, which is getting its own finals, Europeans will have to fight against the gauntlet of Asian players in the Japanese finals of this promotional Tekken 7 tournament, rather than going up against solely players from their own continent.

These three qualifiers will be at Warsaw Games Week on October 16th, Paris Games Week on October 28th, and then in London at an event which has yet to be confirmed by Bandai Namco. The winners of these qualifiers must be residents of Europe, and will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Japan to compete in the finals, with a chance at the 3 million yen grand prize.

You can find all the information on these qualifiers over on the official Tekken 7 website.
