GameWorks Returns to FGC with $5K Tekken Dojo Event and More

GameWorks is looking to bring the FGC together again post-Evo with an exciting two-day Fall Fights pro tournament coming soon to Chicago! Produced by Low Kick eSports, the two-day event hosts 5 tournaments featuring the hottest fighting games out on the market today, including the beloved Tekken and Street Fighter franchises.

GameWorks has been an intricate part of the competitive scene since the mid-90s, a place where hardcore gamers called home. As tech grew and the community moved more digital and the competitive scene changed drastically and GameWorks itself evolved to focus on optimizing esport experiences with top of the line lounges and The Works Kitchen at GameWorks, an eclectic, chef-driven restaurant concept. Now the company is a proven leader in esports and is bringing in thousands of fighting game fans during a special Tekken Dojo event that not only allows players to earn Tekken World Tour points but showcases what GameWorks is bringing to the table, and also offers a place for competitive Street Fighter, SoulCalibur and more, with pot bonuses for every game! 

While Tekken is a huge focus for the event, it’s not the only game that will be showcased. For those looking to get in on the competitive fun, the five tournaments that will be featured include: 

• Tekken 7 Tekken World Tour Dojo Event – $5,000 Pot Bonus
