Top qualifiers at Thaiger Uppercut 2024
Five TGU 2024 tournaments are global league qualifiers. TEKKEN 8 is the biggest among them.
TEKKEN World Tour 2024: The last Master event
It was a pretty long journey for the TEKKEN 8 competitive community. The World Tour started back in April with the Challenger event Electric Clash 2024. Then, there were quite a few Master events, which grant the top players with the most standing points. Thaiger Uppercut 2024 is the last tournament in this amazing series.
Quite a few top players use this chance. They will not be able to pick Heihachi Mishima, as the newest DLC character is banned at the event and the latest Patch 1.08 is not used for the tournament matches.
- Arslan Ash, the TEKKEN 8 Evo 2024 winner
- ULSAN, an unstoppable champion who won Red Bull Golden Letters 2024 and Esports World Cup 2024 (among other recent achievements)
- AK, the Combo Breaker 2024 winner
- Mulgold, the winner of Super Tournament 2024
- ATIF, the winner of CEO 2024
DBFZ World Tour 2024 Power event
It’s the top rank of World Tour qualifiers for Dragon Ball FighterZ. And the TGU 2024 DBFZ tournament is one of only two such events left for the 2024 league (the last one is East Coast Throwdown 2024). Such Japanese players as Ikoan, Tako, and Oblivion participate in Thaiger Uppercut 2024 to grind for standing points.
KOF XV: An SNK World Championship 2025 qualifier
With the format of the SNK World Championship 2025, the only thing that can take The King of Fighters XV players to the Global Final event is victory at a qualifier. There is no leaderboard or points. Only the winners make it through.
Madkof won the qualifier at FV Major 2024, and the player still attends TGU 2024. Practice makes perfect, and the tournament practice is the most effective! mok is also here; he was 2nd at Thaiger Uppercut in 2023. Lacid, the winner of KOF LuX Festa 2024, is another notable participant.
GGST and GBVSR: Arc World Tour 2024 Gold qualifiers
The Arc System Works games have Gold-rank qualifiers. The number of standing points is lower here than at the Platinum events (such as at Ultimate Fighting Arena 2024), and the winners don’t get direct invites to the Finals events. Still, the level of TGU 2024 GGST and GBVSR is high, especially because of how close Japan is from Thailand: many top players attend this event.
The excitement of fighting games esports makes a stop in the US quite soon. East Coast Throwdown 2024 is a big event, and it features top tournaments, such as SF6 Capcom Cup 11 Premier qualifier. ECT 2024 happens from Oct. 11 to Oct. 13 in Hartford, Connecticut. For all fighting games news and updates, stick around on esports.gg!
