The final four qualifiers were decided this past weekend through the GGL Online Tournament finals. SDTEKKEN’s very own MarkMan made a valiant effort and placed in the top 10 but was ultimately defeated by Empire Arcadia’s Blood Red as he went on to be one of the finalists in the Xbox 360 bracket. The other 360 finalist is Nothern California’s intellimien, Law player extraordinaire!
On the PlayStation 3 side of the GGL board, one of the Mid-West’s most consistent players TEKKEN players showed no mercy as he qualified for the finals and yet another Northern California player took the spotlight by qualifying. Antonio Carmona and jtchinoi will both be in San Francisco fighting for the GGL final event and along with the Xbox 360 qualifiers, they’ll join in on the 16 man battle for the title of North American Champion!
