South African Street Fighter and Tekken stars fight in Las Vegas this weekend
Late in September, we reported on the Red Bull Hit the Streets South African tournaments for both Tekken 7 and Street Fighter V coming to thrilling conclusions. Local champions were crowned, with Goliath Gaming’s Jabhi “JabhiM†Mabuza winning the Street Fighter V tournament, and Bravado Gaming’s Farouk “DaXpt†Suleman lifting the Tekken 7 trophy.
This weekend, the two local fighting game stars will compete in their respective titles in Las Vegas, USA, at the Red Bull Kumite 2021 championship’s Last Chance Qualifier.
