Tekken World Tour 2020 schedule revealed

Bandai Namco has revealed the schedule for Tekken World Tour 2020. Tekken producer, Michael Murray was joined by commentators Reepal "Rip" Parbhoo and Mark “Markman” Julio in a livestream to share all the new information . 

Tekken World Tour 2020 features a tier system, with all events split between Master, Challenger, and Dojo. Master events provide top placing players with the highest amount of points and the largest amount of prize money, followed by Challenger events. Dojo events are entry-level tournaments that give amateurs and pros early in their careers, an avenue to seize glory too.
