He also finished fourth at last year’s Thaiger Uppercut, so he’ll be hoping for more of the same this year. If he reaches the winners’ final of his pool this weekend, his likely opponent will be reigning TEKKEN World Tour champion Qudans.īook didn’t find as much success online as his fellow countryman, but he beat Tsubumi, Yuu, and Help Me on his way to a Top 8 finish at the regional final at South East Asia Major. A strong performance on home soil may be key to his hopes of reaching this year’s global finals.

Shin Akuma won last season’s Steam event, but he proved that he can perform offline as well with a strong showing at the South East Asia Major. Thai fans will hope that they defend their home turf, but both will face stiff tests early. Two Thai players ended last season in the top 15 of the Asia/Pacific standings, and both of them will be in action this weekend. There will be plenty of strong players from all throughout Asia in action this weekend, including the host nation. “Of course I will do my best when competing against them in tournaments and events,” he said in a recent interview with, “but I will always respect everyone in the end.” Should he face off with either player, you can expect a fierce, but respectful battle. If he stays in the winners’ side of the bracket, the earliest he could run into either player would be winners’ finals of the tournament. His debut could include clashes with his former ROX teammates, Chanel and Knee. So not only will this weekend mark his 2018 TEKKEN World Tour debut, but it also marks his debut for his new team. Early last week, the champ announced that he had joined JeonDDing, Fergus, and P.Ling on Team UYU. But the brightest spotlight may be on a Korean who wasn’t in Atlanta last weekend.Ģ017 TEKKEN World Tour champion Qudans did not attend Final Round, but he still found himself in last week’s headlines. Fellow top finishers Chanel (4th), Kkokkoma (5th), LowHigh (7th), and JeonDDing (9th) will also be in action. Third-place finisher Saint will hope for a shot at revenge against Knee, who beat him in the winners’ final of last weekend’s event. Seven Korean players finished among the Top 12 at Final Round, and six of those players will be in action this weekend. Knee leads a strong contingent of Korean players. Knee is clearly among the favorites to win this weekend, but his path will be no cakewalk. He followed that up this past weekend by taking top honors at the year’s first TEKKEN World Tour event, Final Round. In January he scored wins over Rickstah, Saint, and Chanel on his way to victory at the year’s first major tournament, Evo Japan. It’s hard to imagine a better start to 2018 than the one Knee is having. Here’s what to watch for this weekend at Thaiger Uppercut: There are several storylines in play this weekend, but three in particular stand out. But it will also include several familiar faces from Final Round, as five of the top eight finishers from that event will be in the field. This weekend’s event will serve as the debut for several strong Asian players, including Meat, Tanukana, and last year’s TEKKEN World Tour champion, Qudans. It also serves as the first Asian event of the Tour season for the second straight year. Thaiger Uppercut in Bangkok, Thailand serves as hosts for the second TEKKEN World Tour event of the year. If you enjoyed the TEKKEN you saw at Final Round, there’s plenty more where that came from.
