Tekken 7 Fated Retribution Playable at OzHadou Nationals 14

At Battle Arena Melbourne 8 last night, OzHadou Nationals tournament organiser Youssef got on stage during the finals event for Street Fighter V to announce some big news for the upcoming event in Sydney. TEKKEN 7 Fated Retribution, the upcoming expansion to Tekken 7 arcade that adds more characters and stages will be playable at the event! This will mark Australia's first opportunity to get their hands on the game and try out Akuma in the new game. Additionally for this year, the event will be taking place at the Menzies Hotel which is bigger then previous years. For players in the region, OHN 14 is certainly not an event to miss out on. OzHadou Nationals 14 is scheduled to take place in Sydney, Australia on August 26 - 28. Of course, big thanks goes out to Bandai Namco Australia for making this all possible.

Circa eSports who you may be familiar with after their recent signings of LPN have come out to announce that they have now signed up Atlanta's own top Tekken player Anakin. This marks their first signings of a competitive Tekken player and this may mean that you can see Anakin at more events in the future. When he's not competing in tournaments, Anakin every now and then streams himself playing Tekken Tag Tournament 2 online on his Twitch channel and it makes for a good watch while Tekken 7 looms over the horizon. All the best goes out to the guy and his new future with Circa.
