TEKKEN FORCE TOURNAMENT - ROUND 4!
June 27, 2011
Asim seals his fourth tournament victory in a pulsating final match!
On paper it may appear that Asim ran away with the Tekken crown, but in a semi-final and final that saw him beaten with a few perfect rounds, the UK’s best Tekken player was pushed to the wire in what was surely the closest and most intense Tekken tournament the UK has seen in years. A massive shout-out must go out to 2nd place Izanami for helping to make the final the epic that it was and who looks like a future tournament favourite. Another mention must go to our 4th place finalist FreeYourMind - Despite predominantly being an online player, he has attended every Tekken Force tournament to date and struggled to advance past the group stages.
***Breaking news*** Word has just arrived that Asim will unfortunately be missing next months tournament which means that we will have a new champion!
Those who attended will know that words fail to describe just how agonisingly close the final was, so rather than try, here’s a direct link for all to see:

So it’s all in a day’s work for Asim who once again takes home a HORI Real Arcade Pro V3 and £200 in cash.
In second place was the irrepressibly impressive Izanami, who strolls off with £100.
And in third place was Bonusjin, which sees him take home a well deserved £50 in Gamerbase vouchers.
