Who is Lyonidas up against in Tekken Crossover 2024?
Lyonidas slots into Pool TB2, a bracket of 25 participants, grouped with some well known members of the Tekken scene. These being: NAVI Kkokkoma, YSK Rocketer as well as Daora. Not an easy group by any stretch, but this isn’t the first time Lyonidas has qualified to the main stage in these big European events. Fans and Supporters of Lyon will be hoping he makes it through and goes far in the tournament!
Here are some of his thoughts heading into the event:
I feel like I’m under a lot of pressure and not at the same time. I really want to showcase what I’ve been practicing, but only my actions will speak for me. I’m facing a professional player named KKokkoma, who is currently sponsored by Navi. I’ve faced him before and won, but now I’m sure he’s prepared for me. Let’s hope for the best!
