Headstomper 2016 | Swedish Fighting Game Tournament on 3 - 5 June

In southern Scandinavia this weekend is the HEADSTOMPER tournament featuring both TTT2 and Tekken 7 (arcade) tournaments. For what I understand is that, since there is only one Tekken 7 setup available at the event, the T7 tournament will only allow the top 16 winners of the TTT2 tournament to participate in T7. Think of the TTT2 tournament as a mini qualifier of sorts. With that said, lots of players within the region will be going and some notable names attending are JDCR from Korea and home boy The Main Man. The event is being streamed and you can catch all the European Tekken action over on Twitch.tv when they go live.
