Last weekend, TEKKEN World Tour 2023 launched its next Master Event at Fighters Showdown in Dehli, India. With it, we got an epic competition between 208 players, bringing significant movement within the tour leaderboard. Here are the highlights for the latest stop in the TWT!

CBM, AKA CherryBerryMango, took the win over their teammate, USLAN, earning the Fighters Showdown trophy and 400 points in the leaderboard. CBM’s victory moved them to 4th place in the overall TWT standings with 756 points in total, just behind USLAN. During the Top 8, CBM’s victory seemed assured, going 2-0 over Knee and 3-1 over USLAN. That win streak didn’t last when USLAN returned to the Grand Finals and reset the bracket, taking things 1-3. CBM reversed the last match during the runback, finally winning Fighters Showdown 3-1.

USLAN earned 300 points for taking 2nd place, giving them a total of 900 points in the leaderboard. This puts them in 3rd place overall, only ten points behind Arslan Ash and 20 points behind KNEE. USLAN has attended 5 Master events so far this season. They also ranked 13-16th at Evo Japan, 2nd at The Mixup, 9th-12th at BAM, and CEO.

In 3rd place, Tetsu gained 220 points, placing them in 21st place in the standings. Tetsu defeated KNEE 2-1 in Losers and won against Sephiblack. In the end, Tetsu lost against USLAN in the Losers Finals.
