The international elite of TEKKEN esports gathers in France to battle for the TWT 2025 points and the EWC 2025 qualification spots.
It feels like TEKKEN 8 has been in the middle of big changes since the disastrous release of Season 2. The harsh period is over with an emergency patch and a couple of substantial updates — to fix the fighting game. The next portion of big adjustments is planned for July 7. The pro community doesn’t stop competing even with this rollercoaster, though.
Two big leagues are happening right now. The TEKKEN 8 Esports World Cup 2025 (EWC 2025) has an intense qualification series, with the final event coming in the middle of August. The official TEKKEN World Tour 2025 (TWT 2025) conducts many tournaments: for players to earn precious standing points.
The MIXUP 2025 features an EWC 2025 qualifier and a TWT 2025 Master event. With wonderfully high stakes, we can witness spectacular matches by the best TEKKEN 8 players from all over the world.

The power of Asuka and Tibetano
The Spanish player Tibetano is a true hero of this event. He defeated top international players on the way to victory, and he did that on Asuka, an unusual character for high-level TEKKEN 8 esports tournaments.
Quite interestingly, many players in the final brackets picked Eddy Gordo. One of them is JeonDDing, who still had to switch to Nina in the winners' final and Anna in the decisive round of the grand final reset.
Tibetano survived the hit of losing the grand final in the very last round, and then he delivered a mind-blowing six-round streak. Anna worked for JeonDDing well, but Tibetano adapted to the character switch and won the tournament.
Tibetano is the TEKKEN 8 Champion at The MIXUP 2025!

The final event for the TEKKEN 8 Esports World Cup 2025 happens from Aug. 13 to Aug. 16. After The MIXUP 2025, only two chances to reach this prestigious tournament remain: at EVO Las Vegas, from Aug. 1 to Aug. 3, and the Last Chance Qualifier, from Aug. 7 to Aug. 9.
The TEKKEN World Tour 2025 has many more qualifiers in its schedule, as the league started just recently, at EVO Japan 2025.
