TEKKEN
World Tour 2022 Global Finals and Frosty Faustings 2023 Taking Place This Weekend
|
|
|
|
 Two
major fighting game tournaments are set to take place this weekend: the TEKKEN
World Tour 2022 Global Finals in Amsterdam and Frosty Faustings 2023
in Lombard, Illinois.
The TWT Finals '22 marks the end of the TEKKEN
7 competitive season and has 24 players competing for a
prize pool of $100,000 USD.
The Last Chance Qualifier for TWT '22 takes place Saturday, February
4th and starts at (12:30am PT/3:30am ET), with finals happening Sunday,
February 5th. [UPDATE
#1]
 The
full day 1 stream schedule is below.
|
The tournament will be
streaming live at Twitch.tv/Tekken.
On Twitter, Bandai Namco Esports also recently announced the commentary team
for the TWT 2022 Finals, which includes: Markman, Reepal, Tasty Steve,
SpahettiRip, SamDDing, and OG Bubsy.

Over in Chicago, Frosty
Faustings '23 kicks off February 2nd - 5th and will feature 25 main tournament games with a
huge amount of side tournaments as well. The full stream schedule for Frosty Faustings
2023's tournaments is provided in the tweet below.
|
|
[UPDATE #2]
On
Friday (February 3rd), the official TEKKEN Twitter profile confirmed a TEKKEN
8
announcement is planned for Sunday during the finals (around 19:00 Central
European Time / 1:00pm Eastern Time). The tweet features a photo of the TWT '22 trophy alongside
producer Katsuhiro Harada and producer Michael Murray.

For
more information on either event you can head over to FrostyFaustings.com
and TekkenWorldTour.com.
Considering the TWT '22 Finals will mark the end of TEKKEN 7's
competitive season, such a major occasion seems like a perfect time for
Bandai Namco to drop a new TEKKEN
8 trailer or announcement. While there's no guarantee of a TEKKEN
8 reveal at this time... it definitely won't hurt to tune in. 
That said, be sure to stay tuned on Fighters
Generation for continued coverage and upcoming announcements!
