The tournament participants are a spicy mix of DBFZ powerhouses and big names from games such as Guilty Gear and Street Fighter.
The League of Legends fighting game has finally entered its early access phase. Almost immediately, 2XKO got the first big tournament — at Evo France 2025.
While the competition itself is still very new, the early esports presence of 2XKO is extremely important. The fighting game community (FGC) views this as an opportunity to explore the deep mechanics and meta of the new game. The top players from other titles try to establish themselves in this environment and potentially settle here for many future 2XKO tournaments.
At Evo France 2025, 2XKO is present as a side tournament. Everything about this event is here!

Tag-team legends and beyond: Tournament preview
2XKO is an interesting take on a tag-team fighter that has two LoL characters in a team. It’s no surprise to see the legends of this sub-genre rushing to compete in this new game.
Here are some of the notable 2XKO participants at Evo France 2025.
- SonicFox: Beyond being arguably the best Mortal Kombat player, SonicFox has established themselves as a DBFZ Champion. Their competition with GO1 in the first seasons was absolutely remarkable.
- Hikari is a two-time DBFZ World Tour winner and the Evo 2023 Champion.
- Wawa is one of the best in DBFZ. Right before his retirement from this game, Wawa won Evo 2022 and DBFZ World Tour 2021-2022.
- Yasha won multiple DBFZ tournaments, including UFA 2024. He is one of those who remained in Dragon Ball FighterZ until its later years.
- WADE is another DBFZ top player. Not only did he win UFA 2025 for that game, but WADE also reached the top at the tournament for 2XKO beta-version as part of the UFA event.
France is known for its strong passion for Dragon Ball FighterZ, and this feeling certainly can be extended to 2XKO.
We also have some fighting game celebrities from other titles registered for 2XKO at Evo France.
- Leffen is one of the most recognisable faces in Guilty Gear Strive. He is the Evo 2023 Champion.
- Zando won GGST UFA in 2024 and 2025.
- Tachikawa is a strong Street Fighter 6 player from Japan.
- dekillsage achieved great success in Skullgirls, an indie tag-team fighter.
2XKO esports will be gaining momentum, and we can expect the game to shine at other big FGC events. The game may even join the main lineup at Evo Las Vegas 2026.
