The DBFZ master region in the 2XKO transition
Historically, France is considered one of the strongest regions in the tag-team sub-genre. Competitors from this country shone in the previous big title, Dragon Ball FighterZ. Now, they play 2XKO!
- Wawa won Evo 2022 and DBFZ World Tour 2021-2022. Even before the full 2XKO release, Wawa became the Evo France 2025 champion for this game.
- Yasha finished first at multiple big DBFZ tournaments. He was 3rd at Evo 2022 and 2nd at Evo 2023. The player formed a unique Yasha team for that game, and we certainly can expect the same level of commitment for 2XKO.
- Wade was second at the DBFZ World Tour 2023-2024. With Noka as a teammate, they finished 3rd at the Frosty Faustings XVIII Duos.
- Kayne has many top 3 placements at major DBFZ events. He was in the top 6 at 2XKO Frosty Faustings XVIII.
Following viennality XL should reveal the creative ideas of French DBFZ powerhouses in the 2XKO team composition. It is especially valuable to deepen your knowledge of the current meta — after big nerfs for Yasuo and Ekko.
The American competitors have their own Challenger-tier 2XKO tournament — at Texas Showdown 2026.
As for other European events, big 2XKO esports returns to the region with The MIXUP 2026, from June 13 to June 14.
