Thaiger Uppercut Kicks Off With Inaugural Women's SF6 & T8 tournament

Thailand's biggest-ever fighting game tournament, Thaiger Uppercut (TGU), starts this weekend with its inaugural Queen's Tournament.

It is a women-only event and will feature both Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8. With TGU starting today, the Queen's Tournament will kick off proceedings at 1 p.m. ICT, which corresponds to 10 p.m. PST, 1 a.m. EST, and 7 a.m. CET.

On the event's Start.gg page, there are 18 contestants for both games, and we have yet to see brackets and scores.

However, it is encouraging to see more women-only events within the FGC. They are becoming more and more common, especially with the recent support of Capcom. Back in September, Capcom announced that it would have a women-only event in 2027, but before then, it has already started hosting women-exclusive events during its monthly esports club tournaments.

TGU will run from today until Sunday, November 15, 2026. You can catch all the action on its Twitch channel.
