« Japan's Mastercup marks a decade on Nov. 25, 2017 »

The five-on-five Tekken tournament will celebrate its ninth event and a decade of 3-D action when it comes to Tokyo Big Sight's TFT Hall in late November.

Mastercup 9 will take place at the same location as the Tokyo qualifier for The King of Iron Fist 2015 and Toushinsai 2016, a new bigger venue than in previous years for Mastercup. 

Starting with 39 teams at its first event in 2007, Mastercup has grown with every tournament since its inception, bringing in 187 teams totalling 935 players for Mastercup 8 in 2015.
