The GO Malta eSports Festival 2017 - Tekken 7 Tournament

Tournament Info

Tekken 7, an extremely prolific fighter to hit the genre, it's safe to say that it's been a moderate success around the world; shaking all expectations set for it. Before continuing onto the reasoning, let's first give some background to the game itself. Developed by Bandai Namco, it's the ninth installment in the world of Tekken. The deep lore and storylines coincide with fast kicks, punches and combos. Timing is essential, movement is key and strategy is mandatory to be able to success. Having a massive reception towards the east of the world, it had a lesser-so presence everywhere else. Although it's two years old, the mechanics remain pure an perfect to determine who the better fighter is. 

Why did we choose to include it for the event? There are a few reasons why. Starting with the most persuading one, is the huge amount of support we got from the Games Weekend at the Airport Food Court which was held last weekend. Seriously, the amount of people that came out was astounding, increasing tension and competition along with pressure. The intense, fast-paced action which Tekken 7 brings to the table was married nicely to the delightful fast food which was available a few metres away. Following this enthusiasm, we simply had to involve Tekken 7 in our next event. 

Another reason, which in a way folows up to the previous one, competitive figthing games are practically absent in the local scene. Gamers.com.mt is willing to give Tekken 7 a chance to be loved by the local community, it being the first fighting game to be involved competitively in one of our official events after an absence of five years, that's right since the first Malta eSports Festival! Setting the bar is what we strive to do, when it comes to Maltese eSports, and we believe that giving fighting game enthusiasts a chance is part and parcel of this mission.
