FV Major 2024: A TEKKEN World Tour 2024 Challenger event
The main reason for the top-level TEKKEN players to travel to Malaysia is to grind for TWT points. Considering how close Korea, Pakistan, and Japan are located, it is no surprise that the status of FV Major as a Challenger qualifier attracts some of the best TEKKEN 8 competitors.
The global leaderboard is merciless, and if you are not among the top 20 players, you are simply out of the TWT 2024 Finals. It is certainly a good idea to get every point possible to your name to feel secure. Even Arslan "Arslan Ash" Siddique does such grinding — he attended a Challenger event in Italy, Only The Best 2024, before winning TEKKEN 8 at Evo 2024.
