On the weekend of 27-28 of July, over 400 people will converge towards Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to take part in the FV Major event. While the event will have competitions across multiple games, it also marks a pivotal stop on the TEKKEN World Tour calendar, with FV Major serving as a Challenger level event; essentially meaning the winner will add 300 points to his TEKKEN World Tour total.
The TEKKEN event will consist of 272 participants, with Pakistan having a relatively sizable contingent of 10 players having registered. Namely Atif Butt, Farzeen, The JON, Dawood Sikandar, Khan, Hafiz Tanveer, Numan Chaudary, Malik Ash, Mohsin Shooter and Usama Abbasi.

With the TEKKEN World Tour reaching its halfway point, the competition for good placement on the global as well as regional leaderboards is set to heat up. At the end of the tour, the top 20 players on the global leaderboards along with 15 players who top their respective regional leaderboards as well the top 2 players from a Last Chance Qualifier event will all qualify for the Tekken World Tour Global finals set to be held in Tokyo, Japan from December 5th to 8th.
