This year we're kicking it into high gear and joining forces with Twitch for the TEKKEN WORLD TOUR! TEKKEN 7 enters the eSports arena with a series of global events to decide which players & regions dominate the rule of the iron fist. This points based league will help us decide who will represent their region in the prestigious TEKKEN WORLD TOUR Global Finals in November 2017.

The TEKKEN World Tour will be split up into three distinct regions. The Americas, Europe-Africa and Asia-Oceania.

There will be several tiers of events on the TEKKEN World Tour (REGIONAL, MASTER, CHALLENGER, and ONLINE). MASTER events will have an additional prize bonus ($10,000 split up among the Top 8) from Twitch and more qualifying points on the line. CHALLENGER events will be the baseline for qualifying points (in comparison). There will also be a series of ONLINE tournaments where players can earn points for their respective regional leader board. 

REGIONAL events will take place towards the end of the season and will be worth the highest amount of points during the TEKKEN WORLD TOUR.

Evo 2017 will be considered a special event and the Champion will have an automatic qualifying spot for the Global Finals -- in addition to a $15,000 additional prize bonus for the Top 8 placers.

We're starting this party in Orlando, Florida at CEO 2017, June 16 - 18 as the first MASTER event on the TEKKEN World Tour. We hope to see you there!
