Looks like the organisers of FV Cup 2017 managed to pull off a surprise. The premier fighting game tournament in Malaysia is part of the Capcom Pro Tour for Street Fighter V- which means international pro players will come here and local players will get a shot at competing with the best on home soil.
Unfortunately, FV Cup will not be part of the Tekken World Tour for Tekken 7. So to bring up the hype for the blooming Tekken community in Malaysia, they managed to bring in one international player to come over to Kuala Lumpur.
Yes, the Queen Of Tekken herself, CYCLOPS OSAKA Tanukana will make an appearance at FV Cup 2017. Tanukana made third place early this year at Combo Breaker XX and has since been consistent in the top 32 of various Tekken 7 tournaments throughout the year.
The first 32 players that registered for the FV Cup 2017 Tekken 7 tournament will be invited to a welcoming party with the guest of honour.
FV Cup 2017 will be held on September 23-24 at Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Tournaments for Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, King Of Fighters XIV, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev2, Marvel VS Capcom Infinite, and also FIFA 17 will be held. Signs-up for local players are still open and available here.
