MASTERCUP EVO 2015 Interview with Japan's ORZ Yuu & Nobi

Japan's most famous Tekken playing duo Yuu & Nobi recently got picked up by the Otaku React Zest group which is a company that is set out to spread the otaku 'Akiba culture' which may have a negative connotation depending on who you ask. Their recent efforts have them sponsoring top Tekken players to EVO which is what's making this a frightfully difficult tournament to come up top now with the increase in well regarded foreign players. MASTERCUP sat down with both Yuu & Nobi to ask what they feel and think traveling across the world and competing in such an event, as well as general past experiences and who they're watching out for. The complete Japanese interview is now published on the MASTERCUP website which you can see in the URL. I can't currently provide a full translation of the interview so feel free to use complete auto translate but I've done a little bit of the interview below.

EVO 2015 - Schedule and Tekken 7 Pools Now Available

The pool scheduling as well as player brackets for Evo 2015 which is happening on July 17 - 19 are now out for viewing. Tekken 7 pools will be played out on both Friday & Saturday which unforunately leaves out the previous plan which was to have Friday as a practice day. Nonetheless, pools start at 8:00 am local time so be sure to get there early to participate. Now that the Tekken 7 brackets are also out, you can see the vast number of international Japanese competitors in it to win the tournament so the competition will of course be really fierce at this year's Evo. Don't forget however that there's also the TTT2 side tournament being organised at the BYOC area at Evo so there's more Tekken to play beside the official Tekken 7 tournament. Have a great time everyone.
