World Tour qualifiers at VSFighting XII

The importance of VSFighting XII as a host for global league qualifiers is significant. Not only do the world-level fighting games celebrities get another chance to earn precious standing points and direct invites, but also many local players have an opportunity to prove their skills and potentially qualify for the Finals. For the viewers, the high stakes of the competition mean witnessing an even more spectacular show.

TEKKEN World Tour 2024 Master event

It’s the highest level of general TWT qualifiers — only Evo has the special status of a Master+ event. The points earned on the TEKKEN 8 VSFighting XII tournament will help players strengthen their position on the global leaderboard. 

Another thing that makes the event special for the TEKKEN 8 community is that there will be only three other Master qualifiers left after VSFighting XII. Every opportunity to reach the top 20 in the standings is valuable.

Among the participants to watch out for, we can see many Korean players, such as Rangchu, CBM, Mulgold, and Kkokkoma; Japanese guests: KEISUKE and double; local and European competitors: Jodd, Sephiblack, and others.

Arc World Tour 2024: Three Platinum events

The system of the Arc World Tour 2024 includes Platinum qualifiers with direct invites to the Global Finals. This prospect sure motivates the players to show their best in three tournaments:

  • Guilty Gear Strive
  • Granblue Fantasy Versus
  • Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes]

For UNI2, this event is even more special. While other Arc System Works games have lower-rank qualifiers (Gold) with standing points distributed, the Under Night global league consists of only these Platinum invites.

DBFZ World Tour 2024 Power event

The World Tour for Dragon Ball FighterZ started with CEO 2024, so the road is longer here than for other games. Still, players prefer to fight for the standing points here and now, and this early stage is quite intense.

This tournament is a Power event, with the biggest number of points. As VSFighting XII happens in the UK, it’s a chance for local and European players to reach high placements in the global leaderboard — before the DBFZ World Tour 2024 moves to other regions. One of the best players in the world, Yasha, has registered for DBFZ VSFighting XII.

SNK World Championship

There is no leaderboard for The King of Fighters XV — the SNK World Championship 2025 is based only on direct invites for winners of the biggest KOF XV esports events. VSFighting XII is one of them.

Four players have already qualified for the World Championship Final, so this global league has quite a few more such events. Sure, it is better to get your placement early, so the KOF XV tournament at VSFighting XII is interesting to follow.

The next big event in Europe happens from Sept. 13 to Sept. 15. It’s Ultimate Fighting Arena 2024 (UFA). For all the news and updates around fighting games, stick around on esports.gg!
