A pair of players have been banned from an upcoming Tekken 7 tournament following accusations of “collusion” at a recent qualifying event.
Bandai Namco shared the news today on its Facebook page, stating that both District G | KingJae and District G | C-Krizzle will be unable to participate in the UK Championship London Qualifier on May 14. This news comes not long after the Birmingham Qualifier, during which Bandai Namco said “two players have been suspected of collusion in order to manipulate the results of the tournament.”
For his part, KingJae has posted a pair of videos on Twitter (see below) disputing the claims and stating he won’t be responding to the situation further “because it’s pure nonsense.”
Bandai Namco has already announced that both players’ spots in the qualifier will go to the two people with the next highest placements, RTFM | Asim and ED | K_Justice.
They have each been invited to the MCM London Comic Con Finals, scheduled to take place on May 26.
