EVO 2014 | World's Largest Fighting Game Tournament Held in Las Vegas

UPDATE: TTT2 tournament has concluded and the results and archives of it has been added!

All roads lead to EVO. Evolution 2014 will be commencing over the course of this weekend and thanks to the efforts of MarkMan and Bandai Namco Games, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is being included into the event and will have an added $5,000 pot bonus to the prize. The TTT2 tournament at Evo is scheduled for the entirety of Friday this week but there will be a lot more to come in terms of Tekken action with the Tekken Casino. Among that, there's also side tournaments for Soul Calibur 2 HDO and Soul Calibur 5 happening on the Mad Catz stream and will surely be great to watch. Be sure to tune in if you can't make it to EVO 2014 this year. For competitors at the event, be sure to grab your free Devil Asuka shirt!

TTT2: Knee's Tekken Afreeca Stream YouTube Channel

If you're a big fan of watching Knee play Tekken from his house through his afreeca stream, you'll be pleased to know that Knee has a YouTube channel and is now actively uploading archives of the streams onto it. In the YouTube channel, you can find a bunch of footage of Knee playing online against players from different regions so you'll actually find him playing against Japanese players sometimes such as Nobi, Yuttari Yuuki, Kuro Kuro and more. This is a big recommendation for a YouTube channel subscription if you use that feature on YouTube.

Tekken Mura Interview with JDCR

Shana's next interview in his series of interviews for the Tekken Mura website features Korea's renowned top player JDCR. In this interview, JDCR goes over how he got into Tekken, his character choices as well as his experiences traveling to other countries to play Tekken. The interview is a bit shorter then Tekken Mura's other interviews but it's still a worthwhile read if you're a fan of JDCR. Translation of the interview is done by me and there's no other player interview mentioned in this piece so this might be Shana's last interview. Enjoy!

Seoul Station GameCity Arcade Center

In South Korea, Green Arcade isn't the only place one can go for really competitive Tekken. Game City Arcade Center which I believe is near Seoul Station is another great place to go if you ever find yourself in South Korea. For those of us that can't get to it, the arcade has taken steps to be more online connected by streaming Tekken to Daum and opening both a Twitter and Youtube account similarly to how Green Arcade has opened a Twitch channel, Twitter & YouTube channel. This isn't exactly all new but I feel like I should bring it up for those interested in more Korean Tekken variety. Now my Korean is kinda fuzzy.... and mostly bad but the big poster image for the arcade seems to advertise that the arcade has fighting games, rhythm games, retro games, a clean place, Wi-Fi, being close to a train station, smoking area, place to charge your phone, get a drink and take a shit. Sold.
