Event Updates

This past weekend was full of action for the TEKKEN World Tour 2023 as VSFighting XI took place in the United Kingdom. With none of the top 4 finishers at Evo 2023 in attendance, the event was a great opportunity for some new faces to earn some points and climb up the tour’s leaderboard. Let’s break down the results from VS Fighting XI and see how they affect the TWT standings heading into the tour’s final two Master Events.

The thrill of competition. The joy of celebrating your favorite fighting games with thousands of like-minded people. The opportunity to face off against the best in the world for a chance to join the exclusive pantheon of Evo champions. For many, these are what motivate them to put in countless hours preparing for their brackets and keep them coming back to tournament after tournament. That said, taking home a sizable cut of the prize pool doesn’t hurt, either. With Evo 2023 less than two weeks away, we wanted to give an in-depth breakdown of the prizing and payout structure for the event.

Evo 2023 is just around the corner, and there’s a lot of information we want to share before we see you in Las Vegas! We put together this collection of articles to serve as a guide on everything that’s going on at the event. We will be updating this page as we release more announcements, so be sure to bookmark it and check back often for updates!

Expectations were shattered last Sunday night as competitor registration for Evo 2023 came to a close. Two weeks ago, the event’s Street Fighter 6 bracket became the largest open-bracket fighting game tournament in Evo history, surpassing the record of 5,107 previously held by Street Fighter V’s debut at Evo 2016. Several other games followed suit, setting new franchise registration records in the final days of sign-ups. Now that the numbers are finalized, we can confirm that Evo 2023 will officially have the most bracket competitors ever at an Evo event. With that said, let’s take a closer look at some of the statistics behind the registration numbers for the tournament.
