National Tekken Cup - 72 Player Tournament by Visionary Iron Team

We are proud to announce that GMR Entertainment will be helping out Visionary Iron Team in the National Tekken Cup. This is the third tournament of its kind, following two previous iterations which have had continuous success yearly. To continue on a yearly basis, the tournament aims at crowning a new Maltese Tekken champion each year - here's everything you need to know. 

Although we've referred to the tournament as Maltese, there are also plenty of foreign participants  - with the total number being 20 out of 72 competitors. With that being said, tickets were sold out within the first month of sales, fueling the fact that this will be the largest Tekken tournament to ever be held in Malta, while also being the first tournament to involve foreigners flying over to compete. 

The number of competitors will be split into 8 groups of 9 competitors each, who will battle it out through a round-robin format within the group in order to move onto the final stages. These will come in the form of the familiar winners-losers bracket format, in order to determine a rightful champion. The winner will be declared the champion of the tournament for the remaining year, engraving his name onto the trophy; keeping the title until next year where he/she may be challenged. Whoever manages to win this cup a total of three times will become the permanent holder and gets to keep the cup apart from the prestige. 

Of course, prizes are still to be awarded each cup. First place will be awarded the aforementioned National Cup, a statue of around 60cm in length which amounts to roughly €500. Second and third place both earn 30cm figurines to commemorate their achievements, while 4th to 8th place will earn smaller trophies. 

The tournament is set to take place at JCMCB, Bar and Grill in Marsa on the 17th of November with the help of the respective sponsors of AOC, JG Gypsum, Marindex and The Gamers Lounge.

We'll be showing off the organizers' thoughts in a separate article later on next week in the mean time it's time for Tekken to take-off in Malta.
