#Evo2026 Early Bird Registration Leaderboard

Launch day.

the eskay lily fgc tourist duo had way too much fun in 2xko yesterday hehehe

Thanks so much @esportawards! The FGC has given us so much. We’ve just tried to give a little back. Thanks to everyone in the FGC for keeping the spirit of fighting games alive and for letting us be a part of it.

I told Lily today that she might benefit from labbing a combo real quick after a loss streak, She said "Fuck that I'm better" and doom queued. She's more FGC than most people will ever be LOL 😌

hello 2xko tournament organizers, pls fill out this form so we know u exist: riot.com/49KFRII password is letsgo

i think one of the best things i’ve ever gotten into are fighting games. just makes me really happy. 🌸

They’re twins 👥 They’re ranked #1 and #2 on the Japanese server 🇯🇵 And they play as a duo, one of the most beautiful story in 2XKO ❤️ @2WINz25 just registered for IBGAMES this Sunday Now featuring top players from Japan, the US, and Europe SEKAI 🌍

I see a lot of English speakers wondering where @neiaa_tk comes from and how come this young 16 years old girl came in tournament so this is the whole story : Neia sent me a message on Insta in May while she was still 15, she said I was a source of inspiration for her. That she is passionate about video games especially since she was 8 years old with Tekken 7. She said she would love to come in tournament and be part of the community but that her age can prevent her to do so. That she hopes to come to my Kayane Session in June at Vitality Hive (Training session for every level with 100 players) to meet and play with me and live this first experience. I saw her message and replied the same day, I am truly happy I could see this message ! I told her to come to my event, that I would personally welcome her and present her to members of the community I trust the most, so that she can feel she's not alone. I told her I never regretted to have come offline, that it changed my life and that I've met all my friends thanks to that. 👍 So she was reassured and came to the event, she was so shy she was walking near the stage where I was, not knowing what to do, that was very cute to see hahaha 😆, I assume it was her who DMed me ! So I talked to her directly and invited to play with me. That's when I directly saw her AMAZING level with Lili, like wow. I know I'm not a Tekken player at first, I have a Soul Calibur background but I still know and recognize an impressive player when I meet one. 😳 Even if I played Tekken seriously only for 1 year and half since T8, I could go to events and play multiple top players from all over the world. And I immediately knew that she is of this caliber. I made her play with some top French players, they all told me the same as me, they were all very impressed. I said it on Twitter after the Session, people could think I exaggerated when I said that she will be a World Top Player if she participates to tournaments, and she actually just proved herself in 4 months only ! After my event, she went to several tournaments in Paris, managing to be TOP 8 at her first tournaments gathering the best French players. She ranked 13th at UFA beating renowned players and managed to be 2nd best French performance after Hexmark and along side Jodd and Super Akouma who have many years of professional experience. Then for #EVOFrance2025, the French Esports Team @BMS_CREW contacted me to sponsor Neia to support her for this tournament. (they also sponsored Verix and Hikari for EVO) Neia was very worried about missing school one day to go to EVO on Friday, so I managed with @B00BI_ to contact very fastly the National Education to alert her school that she has huge opportunities coming her way and she would need to miss some classes without penalizing her. The school director learned about all the story and went to see Neia in person, congratulated her and supported her, so that she could have official good reason to miss class and go to EVO. That was very important for us, Neia and her family, so she could go and compete with all her soul. She just played out of my expectations, ranked 17th at her first EVO over 1169 players, she could beat amazing players and be mentally so strong. I lack of words to say how proud and how impressed I am. I wasn't solid like her at 16 for sure whereas I started competing at 9, I didn't have this vision of the game. And she told me she only trained online in Ranked matches, she doesn't even lab really. Now, I'll make sure she can get the most good experiences offline and play with strong players to gain even more matchups knowledge. Neia has a long way to go, a lot of adventures to live, many countries to discover thanks to tournaments, Tekken players to meet and play with, and I'll make sure that everything goes smoothly ! I hope we will be able to find a good Sponsor or Team for the next tournaments to come as BMS was only for EVO France. She is truly respected and loved by the French community and fans, since the day I met her until now, I shared everything I lived with her and people could follow her story and her amazing performances. (What is that speedrun though !!!) She has made me very happy, I want to keep doing a lot of things for the Fighting Games Community in France, and keep organizing offline events to find other precious pearls like her. If it only took a DM to reply to have such a story, imagine all the hidden potentials we can find ! I hope you guys continue to support her, I truly thank you for all the kind messages towards her and even me. Thank you for reading this very long message, at least you have everything now! 🙏

Made it to the @Play2XKO after party!! It’s nuts in here!!

2xko official cinematic drops tomorrow. tune in @ 8 am pt

I will be simply spending all of my money on cosmetics

@Play2XKO @arcaneshow ok fine i'll play 2xko 😤

welcome back xfactor

Reflecting on the event: Very grateful so many people watched and entered! Glad the games were fire! This netcode is insane I want to play with people in EU and Asia all the time now since we can clearly see it’s possible! EU friends with NA accounts can enter BNS!

Riot somehow made the most outwardly accessible game with the grimiest four way mixups possible Every decision seems tailor made to lower the barrier to entry while simultaneously allowing fighting game sickos to go nuts

It's so cool that you can spectate other player matches in the lobby with no loading screen #2XKO

I found the grab button @Play2XKO #blitzcrank

2XKO TOMORROW!!!! cant wait to play yasuo again

SEPTEMBER 8 LET’S GO @Play2XKO
