This exposure gave the team visibility among India’s broader esports community and marked their first step onto the national scene.

Tekken Nexus #15 (Online)

Winner: Arhaan | Runner-up: Jin Sama
₹40,000 cash prize + ₹80,000 worth of Qanba & Brook gaming gear
Partners: Qanba, Brook, and Pacific Mall Group
This event represented a defining moment for the team’s perseverance and community growth. However, despite record participation, high production costs meant the event remained self-funded.
This realization led to a strategic decision — no future offline events without confirmed sponsorship.
2025: International Recognition
Tekken Nexus 2025 became an official Bandai Namco TWT Challenger Event, marking a historic milestone for Indian organizers.
Titles: Tekken 8 and The King of Fighters XV
Tekken 8: 225 participants, including 9 international pros from Japan and Korea — featuring 2x Esports World Champion Ulsan.
KOF XV: 44 participants, including Korean player Channel.
With Bandai Namco, Pacific Mall Group, and Team Tekken India powering the event, this was India’s most ambitious fighting game tournament to date.
Even with limited profit, the team delivered a world-class player experience that firmly placed India on the global Tekken map.
