Bandai Namco says sorry for disqualifying a top Tekken World Tour contender whose country wasn't listed among the 189 eligible options

Last weekend, Bandai Namco hosted a Tekken 8 tournament, Thaiger Uppercut, in Thailand, and despite getting off to a good start, everything ended in disaster after one player was disqualified ahead of a top-eight finish. 

Tekken 8 player xiaochenchen (XCC) got off to a terrific start, defeating anyone that came up against him in his bracket. Unfortunately, XCC wasn't able to see the tournament through, as shortly after his impressive winning streak, officials from the tournament announced that he would be disqualified.
