Although the SNK World Championship 2023 Final tournament is in almost two months, almost all qualified participants are known. Two of the slots were allocated to the winners of FightClub Century Battle II, a ¥10,000 (around $1,400) offline King of Fighters XV tournament in Shenzhen, China.
It is worth noting that the champion of the event earned the right to play a show match against Xiaohai, arguably the strongest KoF XV player in Asia who already qualified for the SWC 2023. ET had no problems this weekend and confidently won first place. He almost managed to win the show match but lost 6:7.
However, as ET was already qualified for the championship, the right to play in the SWC 2023 Finals went to players in the second and third places, ZJZ and Yunwu.
The top 8 of the FightClub Century Battle II are as follows:
- 1. ET
- 2. ZJZ
- 3. Yunwu
- 4. pineapple
- 5. Xingchen
- 5. Dakou
- 7. Rap
- 7. KyoKusanagi
