The SNK World Championship 2023 has quite a few Qualifier events — which is awesome, we love to witness the pressure of high stakes at fighting esports tournaments. Big risks may give great results to the players and a great show to the viewers.
The King of Fighters XV tournament at Thaiger Uppercut 2023 was of the Global Qualifier level. The winner gets a direct spot at the upcoming Finals event. The top players also have their slice of the pie — valuable standing points.
Let’s take a look at the matches, results, and characters in use.
Shinwa Promotion/mok is a Japanese player, and the guy actively participates in the Qualifiers around Southeast Asia. We could see him playing at REV Major 2023.
The main opponent for mok at TGU 2023 was Lacid, from Korea.
These players faced each other in the Semi-Final, and Lacid sent mok to Losers.
In the Winners Final, Lacid had a pretty confident victory over koukou — and this player worth a special mention. koukou used five team variations in the tournament. mok had a tough time playing vs koukou in the Losers Final, but mok still won and proceeded to the Grand Final.
The decisive match again demonstrated the current strength of Lacid, who stuck to one team throughout the whole Top 8 part.

At the SNK World Championship 2023 Finals event, he will join such players as ViolentKain (the Winner of ECT 2023) and Juan KOF (the Winner of First Attack 2023).
