DBFZ at Texas Showdown 2023: Instinctive Win

While we are waiting for the promised patch, Dragon Ball FighterZ is still a great competitive game. The tournament at Texas Showdown 2023 is one of the first relatively big ones after the World Tour Global Finals.

The Top 8 part was really good. We could witness many amazing moments, an unexpected upset, a couple of cool underdog stories, and a glorious victory in a super close Grand Final. Let’s enjoy the esports show!

Reynald had a pretty confident victory in the Semi-Final against MDPpoet — with a cool last moment when Krillin in low health destroyed Super Baby 2.

In the parallel bracket, Lucar won 2:0 over JakeRyan. Jake had a good chance to clutch with Vegito but couldn’t defeat UI Goku.

In the Winners Final, Lucar defeated Reynald, 3:1.

Miniko was one of the notable heroes at this tournament. He played a pretty unusual team (with Master Roshi on Point, one of the most difficult characters in DBFZ) and managed to reach Top 3. This guy uses a new profile on start.gg and seemingly has no records on the pro scene. It would be interesting to follow his further performance.

Another player to mention is Raider_itty, who knocked JakeRyan out of the tournament. To be honest, it was Jake who defeated himself by having a too lighthearted mood at the beginning of the match and then by dropping a combo at the very end. But Raider_itty also did great — he performed a wonderful comeback with Krillin and did not hesitate to use his moment against Lab Coat.

The match was really close and intense. First, Reynald won game 1 and even reached a bracket reset point. But Lucar did not let the score gap become too big and then won two games in a row to claim victory.

Lucar is the DBFZ Champion at Texas Showdown 2023. Congratulations!

After thic victory we just had to reach out to Lucar and ask a few questions. Please, check out our exclusive interview with this prominent player.
