Joseph Facciol and Vietnamese Tekken 7 - A Fruitful Holiday

One of the most common activities to carry out in summer is to venture out on a little holiday in which you absorb some culture, exotic climate and contemplate relaxation and leisure. A certain Maltese gamer took it one step further, by experiencing the local esports scene unexpectedly and really having a blast. His name is Joseph Facciol, and the following is his reported experience in Vietnam, where Tekken 7 united him with the community. 

Let's start from the ground up. Mr Facciol went abroad with the intention of enjoying a vacation in Vietnam, ironically enough, to take a break from all of the Tekken 7 which he enjoys competing. However, as soon as he landed on Vietnamese soil, his inner gamer couldn't help but check for any local Tekken 7 competition. To his surprise, Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam and hence being a major tourist attraction, was riddled with opportunities for Joseph to get busy on the controller. After a fling of 2 hours in Hanoi, he was quite satisfied with some competition - but his curiosity remained. The local community in Hanoi advised him that his next planned destination of Ho Chi Minh City, a cultural focal point due to its say in the Vietnam War, also has its own Tekken 7 community. 

Imagining his pure excitement, he rushed down to Ho Chi Minh City, which was quite a drive away as it's on the other side of Vietnam. Upon arriving, his previous contacts notified him of a certain tournament which was to occur in order to conclude a season of competition; he quickly bought a controller and attended the event. Knowing Mr. Facciol, he went ahead and won the whole thing - because why not? We plan to learn more about his experience through an exclusive interview to follow-up this article! We have actually interviewed him once before, in a very well-received interview regarding another international experience of his, which you may view here: https://www.gamers.com.mt/news/767/maltese-tekken-players-competing-at-an-international-event-interview

If you've got any international eSports experience you'd like to share with the community, please let us know just like Joseph did!
