The integration of Alessandro ‘Sirbone’ Fazzi’s Team Forge into QLASH, the team founded by Luca Pagano and Eugene Katchalov, continues. Today we are proud to present the professional roster of Tekken, one of the most played fighting games in the world, a title able to establish itself as a reference point for the whole genre.
Tekken's QLASH Forge Team Pro will consist of three players, two of whom were already part of the Forge roster. These are Luca 'DevilKazuya' Cianfa and Rosario 'Rikimaru' Monaco. Alongside them will be Cheng 'Devilnin' Guo - a pupil of Sirbone.

"Tekken's scene in Italy is growing a lot, thanks to organizations like ours. My goal? I want to keep playing until I feel I can win".
