Many are chosen, but in the end, only one will stand up at the top as champion. In the case of the Tekken 7 Tournament at the recently concluded REV Major Philippines, that name is Echo Fox | JDCR.
From a pool of 16 on the 2nd day, JDCR rose to the top beating some big names such as his own teammate, Echo Fox Saint, and Japan’s Yamasa|Nobi.
In the winners finals, he faced off with crowd favorite Knee on to a nerve wracking 2-2, and then came out victorious on the final round, sending the other Korean into the losers bracket.
Knee, being one of the best in the world, then once again proved his prowess as a pro by defeating Yamasa|Take 3-2 on the losers finals to again face JDCR for the Grand Finals.
